The Shaykh's discussion on naming after the Salaf, where some names are preferred or prohibited.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Because it has no connection to the Athari school.
The student: I mean, oh, our Shaykh, a follower of the followers in the unity of following the followers!!

The Shaykh: Okay, but may Allah bless you, let's get to the names.
The student: I mean, in terms of preference, that some are better.

The Shaykh: If you permit.
The student: Please, go ahead, excuse me.

The Shaykh: There are names among the Companions themselves that may be considered weaker from one perspective.
The student : You are correct.

The Shaykh: And stronger from another.
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh: And from another perspective, they may be disliked.
The student: Oh my!

The Shaykh: They may be disliked, likewise among some of the Tabi'un.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: For example, one of the most famous is Nafi', the freed slave of Ibn 'Umar.
The student: Ibn 'Umar, do not name [your child]!

The Shaykh: Yes, if a man named his son Nafi', he would say: I have a predecessor, even though truly these people are among the Salaf.
The student: Correct.

The Shaykh: This is first, and second: there is a prohibition, even though our topic is not from this category.
The student: I understood you, yes, yes.

The Shaykh: But it is from the first category.
The student: The preference.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: We are not all Shaykh Nasser, oh Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Excuse me.
The student: And Allah is the helper.

The Shaykh: By Allah, and I see that if there is a possibility, we should change this name.
The student: You can't, our Shaykh!

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: You can't.
Another student : Because it has become famous.
The student: No, he can't find a better one.

The Shaykh: No, he can, he can.
The student: Our Shaykh, he can't.

The Shaykh: He managed to do more than that, hehehehe.
