Hadith / Historical Connection

Choosing a name well is treated in the sunna as a duty owed to the child. Abu Dawud records the Prophet saying that on the Day of Resurrection you will be called by your names and by your fathers' names, so give yourselves good names. Names carrying a quality are chosen in that spirit.
