Naming My Daughter “Ayesha Fathima”: Is It Appropriate?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can I name my daughter as “Ayesha Fathima” because I named my first daughter as “Arfa Fathima”, I wanted to have “Fathima” as last name for both my daughters. Why I doubt is Ayesha is the name of Wife of Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), and Fathima is the daughter of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Bismillaah

A: We have not come across our learned pious people keeping these types of names.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
