Thinking of a Meaningful Name for My Child

Salam, everyone. My husband and I are thinking of using one of the beautiful names of Allah (swt) as a middle name for our child. This was actually a special dua I made while praying to be blessed with a baby. I was wondering though, are there any names of Allah that we shouldn't use for a child? Would really appreciate any advice!

Such a thoughtful idea. Names like Al-Aleem or As-Samad shouldn't be used. Go for the servant names, like Abdul Aziz.

It's a beautiful idea. Generally names like Ar-Rahman or Al-Khaliq are not used for people, as they are specific to Allah. Maybe consider names that start with 'Abdul' like Abdul Rahman?

So happy for you sis! Definitely avoid the names that are uniquely for Allah. Ask a knowledgeable scholar in your community to be safe.

Mabrook! Stick to names that are attributes, not the ones that are His exclusive essence. So excited for you!
