Naming with Names from the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is your opinion regarding those who name their sons with some of the names found in the Qur'an, such as Afnan and the like, or Bayan?
There is no harm in naming one's sons or daughters with words taken from the Qur'an, unless they are specifically prohibited.For example: For example, Abrar; one should not name a child with it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed the name Bara to Zaynab and Jawayriyah. Likewise, one should not name a child Bayan, because Bayan is the Qur'an.As Allah the Exalted said:
This is a clear explanation for the peopleهَذَا بَيَانٌ لِلنَّاسِ
[Al-Imran: 138] And whoever names a child Bayan should change it.
