Can a muslim name his/her child with any name they please ?
Do they have to be islamic in nature ?
Do they have to be of arab origin ?
Do Muslims from different cultures keep name of thier child as per cultural preference ? which are those countries / culture where people keep such cultural names ?
How does hadeeth of prophet approach naming of a person in islam ?
