If a word is made a title, does the description of being a proper name cease to apply to it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A basket?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Is it a title?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is a title.

The questioner : A name for a person?

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : We said: It is a title and it is a name for a person!

The Shaykh : It is a proper name for him, a proper name for him, a proper name. A proper name is divided into three categories: a name, a title, and a kunyah. If it is a title, and if we make it a title, the description of being a proper name ceases to apply to it, but it remains a proper name.

The questioner : Well, Shaykh Muhammad, our esteemed Shaykh: all of it...

The Shaykh : We did not intend, it was not intended. Did we name Muhammad "Hamd al-Sijaya" (praise of good character)? Yasser because he is easy-going, perhaps.
No, "and if they are two", we did not read that.
