Question

I want a good meaning baby name for my new born baby. Can you refer me to some names having good meaning?

Answer

For a baby boy Muhammad, Abdullah, Abdur Rahmaan, Ebrahim, Moosa, Umar, Uthmaan are good names to keep.

For a baby girl, Faatimah, Khadijah, Aaishah, Asma, Maryam are good names to keep.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
