Keeping the name "Shahbaz"
Question
Will it be ok to name a child the name Shahbaz (I think it means means "King of Falcons" in Persian), or would such a name indicate takabbur and fall into the same category as "King of Kings" that has been condemned in hadith?
Answer
Rather keep a name of the pious.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
