Obedience to the Mother in Naming the Child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If my mother orders me to name my son with a name that does not contradict the Shari'ah, is it obligatory for me to obey her if this name is not Islamic?

Answer:
If it does not contradict the Shari'ah, there is nothing wrong with it. And if she becomes angry with you if you do not obey her in that, then name him with it, as long as there is no harm in it. Name him with it in obedience to her.
