Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh

Nabi (salallāhu ‘alayhiwasallam) said regarding the keeping of good names: “Indeed you shall be called on the day of Qiyaamah with your names and the names of your fathers, so give good names to yourselves”.[1]

It is advisable for one to keep names of the Anbiyaa, Sahabah, Taabi’een and pious predecessors.

We advise you to consult with your local Alim/Islamic Organization regarding suitable names. You may also refer to: http://www.names4muslims.com/

The name Fatha for a boy is suitable and the name Maryam for a girl is suitable.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
