The answer

A father must choose a good name for his son and avoid ugly names. The name "Kaid" is derived from kayd, which originally means intense planning or plotting, and can also refer to cunning or trickery. Although kayd can be used for truth or falsehood, its usage in the Arabic language has predominantly come to signify evil. Therefore, it is impermissible to use this name, as it evokes a blameworthy meaning, similar to "schemer" or "cunning person."
