Mufti Ebrahim Desai · Accepted Answer

The parents may choose a suitable Islamic name for a child even before the child is born. If the parents were unable to choose a name, by then, they still have seven days to do so. It is Mustahabb to name the child by, at least, the seventh day.

It is advisable to name the child according to the name of Anbiyaa (alayhimus salaam) and our pious predecessors, like the Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhu] and the great Ulama and saints. It is also appropriate to keep the child’s name according to the Islamic calendar, for example, the child is born during Dhul-Hijjah, the boy’s name be kept Ibraahim and the girl’s name Hajra.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
