Is it recommended to change the name Taha for my son Fazil Ahmed Taha?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My son’s name is Fazil Ahmed Taha. I came to know that the name Taha is not recommended. Please clarify whether we can continue with the name or do we need to change it.

The name Fazil Ahmed Taha is correct, however it is too long. If you keep only ‘Fazil’ or ‘Fazil Ahmed’ then it would be far better.
