Good Islamic Name For Boy & Girl Kids..

Below are some good Islamic names for boys. Some people can find the issue of naming a Muslim baby puzzling.
For one thing, some people wonder if a Muslim name must be an Arabic name (it doesn't have to be).
Secondly, converts sometimes wonder if they have to change their names, and they also have difficulty sometimes choosing a baby name, partly because they may not understand the meanings of Arabic names, and of course they may not have all the Muslim relatives to name their babies after like some Muslims do.
Another issue is that some cultures have the practice of giving a child two or more given names, which would not be appropriate according to the Islamic naming system. In Islam, the child is given one name, then the second name is the father's name or family name, and the third name is the grandfather's name or family name. (I won't get into Kunyas and geographical attributions - you can read some of the articles below for details on those).
In reality it's simple. A Muslim name should have a good meaning. It should not have a negative connotation, and should not relate to a false deity or an un-Islamic practice. It does not have to be an Arabic name, but in practice many Islamic names are Arabic because of their sources. For example, the Quran is a wonderful source for good names, as are the names of all the Prophets, the names of the Sahabah, and the names of Allah (with "Abd" in front).
