Appropriate names for baby boy: SYED ABU BAKR, HUZAIFAH, ZAKARIYYA, NOUMAN, ZAID, ANAS?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
(1) I want to know if the baby is boy, can we keep names such as: SYED ABU BAKR, SYED HUZAIFAH, SYED ZAKARIYYA, SYED NOUMAN, SYED ZAID, SYED ANAS, SYED UZAIR, SYED MUSA, SYED IDREES…etc.
2) My father also telling to add ahmed in the end. So, SYED ABU BAKAR AHMED, SYED HUZAIFAH AHMED, SYED ZAKARIYYA AHMED etc.
In both the cases let me know it is correct or not, also please suggest.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

You may add SYED and AHMAD before and after the names. All the names you proposed are fine. You may keep any of these names for your baby boy.

Allah knows Best!
