Rulings on Naming Sons

Question:
Some fathers are lax in naming their sons with strange and unusual names, and when the children grow up, they find it difficult to deal with those names. These children have grown up and find it awkward to be called by them.

Answer:
It is the right of the child upon the father to have a good name. The best of names, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, are 'Abdullah and 'Abd al-Rahman. The father should avoid bad names and those that imply a deficiency for the children. He should choose good and beautiful names for them and avoid strange names.
Naming a child 'Abd so-and-so is not permissible, for none is worshipped except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), such as 'Abd al-'Uzza, 'Abd Manah, and the like, or 'Abd al-Husayn, or 'Abd 'Ali, or 'Abd al-Amir. None of this is permissible, and it must be changed. One should avoid bad names, and if a name implies worship of other than Allah, it must be changed. Yes.
