The ruling on naming a newborn girl "Iman" and whether that constitutes self-praise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner sent a message asking: Is it permissible for a person to name a newborn girl Iman, or other names that involve naming?

Answer:
We are not aware of anything that prevents naming a child Iman. We are not aware of anything that prevents this. The default is permissibility. There is no self-praise in this; it is a name. Yes.
