Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on being named Majid?

Answer:
Majid is not a name that competes with Allah, but the name al-Majid is not used for anyone other than Allah. However, there is nothing wrong with the name Majid, and if he is named 'Abd al-Majid, that is better.
