A name is an important part of a person’s personality by which he or she is recognized.
Parents should choose a good name for their child as it is the first and most fundamental gift from them to their child which the child will carry with him/her for a lifetime. The beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The first gift a man gives to his child is their name, so he should give them a good name.
