Changing the childs name

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am looking for a name for my daughter. I want the name to start from zaa. Can you suggest for me some name? I first gave her zaari but my dad said surah azzairiyaat means scattering wind so now I want to change it. Please help me.

A: You may change the name.

You may keep the name Zaynub.

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