Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 813/813/J)

It is narrated in hadith that you will be called on the Day of Judgment by your and your fathers? names; therefore keep good names. (Mishkaat: 408) The name ?Insha? though pleasant in speaking and listening, but it is not so meaningful. ?Insha? means to create, to nourish, to start, to write, text, style of writing, etc. If your friend wishes she can keep this name but it is advisable to choose any name of Sahabiyat and Tabeyiyat or any good meaningful name for her daughter.
