Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed
Can children be given the names of angels? Is this better to avoid?
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate
May His blessings and peace be on His Beloved Prophet, the best of creation, and his family, companions, and followers
It is permitted to give children the names of angels, and it is not disliked. Ibn Hajar mentioned this explicitly in al-Tuhfa, in the section on the `aqiqa.
