Answer 1

Id name my kids after someone who is close to me... like my bff or my mom... I wouldnt name them after someonee I dislike ever

Answer 2

NO WAY. then I would probably think about that person every time I said their name

Answer 3

That's ridiculous. Those two words states it all

Answer 4

No, unless the person is a Muslim and has a good name, like Muhammad or the name of a Sahabah/prophet. After all, the Sahabas and prophets and righteous people are the ones who represent those names, not the person I hate.

Answer 5

sister they made up lies on Allah and his prophet what you expect from such a people

they made up lies on prophet wives and friend they even deny that the prophet(SAW) have 4 daughters they deny that Omar(ra) Married Ali(ra) daughter  their religion is based on insulting and cursing those great Muslims (wives and friends of the prophet SAW )

what do you expect from such a religion(shiasim)

Answer 6

There is nothing wrong in naming someone with the name of the person you hate. It depends on where the name originated and what the name means.

However, I, personally, wouldn't choose a name if someone I hated had the same name. This is purely because of the fact that it would bring up bad memories. I would much rather choose a name of a person I love or admire. It sounds more reasonable.

Answer 7

Could you and would you ever name your daughter pinky?

Answer 8

no

and good point.

Answer 9

Highly doubtful becasue there would always be that association in the back of my mind.  

Answer 10

good question though

Answer 11

i would never name my child after someone i hated as far as my grandchild goes thats not my choice

Answer 12

Yea, Adolph is still a popular name in Germany.

Lol at you over-argumentative haters...

Answer 13

i wouldnt really care if it was someone i hated if their name was one with good meaning and i liked it then i would name my child that name cuz who cares about the person i named them after =]

Answer 14

NO ofcourse i wouldnt.. i would name them the people i love.. : - )

Answer 15

First of all sister I want to restate the fact that I DO NOT HATE Aisha, Umar, or Abu Bakr...

But I have to question your logic here...

The names Aisha, Umar and Uthman (Usman) were common Arabic names and such names were not given to show that they (the Ahl-ul Bayt) loved them. They were VERY common names in those times they dont show any correlation to "naming" after particular Personalities, rather they (the children of Ahlul Bayt) were supposed to be named in respect to meaning not personality

What does support your point is the fact that no child of the Ahl-ul-bayt was called Yazid/ Muawiyah (whom we actually hate)

But honestly

As an answerer mentioned. There are people in this world who are called Adolph (Even in the UK and US!), that doesnt mean that the parents of the child love or respected Hitler's destructive ideology

Answer 16

good question i dont know

Answer 17

Assalamu alaikum

Thats a great proof sister......I hope Allah(swt) will help those shiites to understand the truth.....

May Allah(swt) bless u for giving the proofs....

Answer 18

No. i don't want to remember my bad time!!

Answer 19

noo

Answer 20

If its a Muslim name then i might consider, and if i have no contact with that person then i might. But probably not.  

Answer 21

salam

Mashallah, sister, alhamdulillah. Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad wa aale Muhammad.

Answer 22

Yes, it is in love of someone by a name we name our children the same. That shows their love to the greatest companion of Prophet (s.a.w) Abubakar and Umar (R.A) and those who hates them were somewhere deviated off tracks of Islam.

Answer 23

of course not !

all ur references prove that all those sahaba and tabieen ( R)  r not caring any kind of hatred feelings against any of them. all these stories about  Hazrat Umar And Abubakar ( R) r made  by shiyas who wants make divisions in the Muslim Ummah.

Imam Zayn al Abideen one of the big victim according to the shiyas history how can he named his daughter Aisha ?? but he named. it means all the story is falls

May Allah give them Hidayah

Answer 24

They'll vehemently deny this to be true. Even if you soldered their books into the chests of their Imaams and forced them to read it they will still deny it's true.

The word Raafidah means “rejector”, the Rawaafidh have obtained their name by their rejection of Zayd ibn 'Alee ibn al-Hussayn ibn Alee ibn Abee Taalib, the great grandson of 'Alee.

Imaam adh-Dhahabee said in his Siyaar A’laam an-Nubalaa (5/390):

قال عيسى بن يونس جاءت الرافضة زيدا فقالوا تبرأ من أبي بكر وعمر حتى ننصرك قال بل أتولاهما قالوا إذا نرفضك فمن ثم قيل لهم الرافضة

((‘Eesaa bin Yoonus said: The Raafidah came to Zayd and said to him, “Free yourself from Abee Bakr and ‘Umar so that we can aid you” he said, “Rather I will give allegience to them” they said, “Then we reject you” so then it was said to them, “ar-Raafidah” (the rejectors)))
