Words have an effect. Often time the name of a prophet or his pious companions could be too heavy for your child and if this happens to be the case then your child will suffer some marked illnesses so before naming your child make sure that the name is light and it isn’t too heavy for your child.

The little knowledge of planetary bodies is also essential before naming your child because the ruling stars have an effect on the child so make sure that the name which you choose for your child is in harmony with the ruling star of his or her zodiac.

A knowledge of zodiac is also important in this regard. Naming a child means labeling your child for life so make sure you label him or her well. Take whatever knowledge is essential and after learning all the necessary tools name your child.
