Title: My elder son's name is Ayaan, other sons name is Azlaan and daughters name is Rida

Question: My elder son's name is Ayaan, other sons name is Azlaan and daughters name is Rida. Can you help me clarify if these are Islamic names by all standards and there is no need to change them? I was told by one of the relatives that these are not Islamic names and sound more like regional names.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1005/707/D=1433) Rida means chuddar. We could not find the meaning of Ayaan and Azlaan. These names are not good for boys. One should keep the names of Prophets, Sahaba, Sahabiyat and pious elders as it is advised in hadith.
