Is it okay to keep the name Muhammad Ghous?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Mera naam mere abba ne Muhammad Ghous rakha tha. Bohat Saare log kehte he ke yeh naam nahi rakhna chaahiye kyun ke Ghous naam ka meaning help murad puri karne wala hota hai jo rakhna ghalat he. Ab is naam se mere saare documents bhi he. Kiya yeh naam rakhna saheeh he? Kiya is naam se koyi maslah he?

Bismillaah

A: Aap apna naam Muhammad Yunus bataade. Kaaghazaat badalne ki fikr na kare.

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