The ruling on using a forbidden name, such as names dedicated to other than Allah the Exalted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: Is it from the Sunnah to change a name?
A2: If the name is forbidden, such as names dedicated to other than Allah the Exalted, it is obligatory to change it to a prescribed name. As for if the name is ugly in wording or meaning, the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is to change it to something better, as is widely reported in the pure Sunnah. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
