Answer

(Fatwa: 863/821=D/1429)

To name ?Muhammad? is allowed rather desirable. But, while calling such person it should be observed that the name is not deformed. There will be no insolence against the prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) if the person having this name is abused. However, one can have any other pet name to be called commonly.
