As soon as we leave the hospital, we will definitely be asked questions about the child's name regardless of whether it is via phone, whatsapp, etc.
"What's your child's name...?", "No name yet...??"
When told, only one expressed a feeling of not being suitable with the baby.
"A child's name is just like a girl's name..." (when the baby is a boy, and vice versa).
Such is the routine and human nature itself that never feels enough and satisfied. However, as a parent, it is not an important thing to think about, but what needs to be thought about is giving the best name for the child. A name that is full of good meanings, inspires those who hear it, and symbolizes the identity of a true Muslim. A NAME is an identity and the beginning of a child's life.
Naming and naming a baby is one of the happiest moments for parents. The name of the baby can be given on the first day as the Prophet sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam gave the name of his son on the first day of birth as in the history of Muslim. Baby names can also be given on the 7th day as the Prophet sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam did to his grandsons, Hassan and Hussein. The strongest opinion after comparing several hadiths regarding this chapter says that naming on the 7th day is better.
A child's name should have a good meaning. Don't follow the current 'trend' that many follow with names that are rather awkward and do not have any good and proud meaning. Remember that the name that will be given will be the child's identity until the end of his life. Assume that the good name given will be a prayer for him to become the expected person like the name given.
There are some names forbidden by His Majesty sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, among them naming children with the names of Allah without adding the word 'Abd' (servant) in front of the name, such as the example of 'Rahman' without the addition of 'Abd' and so on. This is because the names of God are only worthy of Him, and we are only his dwarf servants who need the Creator.
In conclusion, remember that the Prophet sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: "Indeed you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers, so give them good and beautiful names".
