Among the rights of a child upon his father is choosing a good name for him, so he names him Abdullah or Abdurrahman, or by the name of a prophet like Muhammad, or by the name of a female Companion, such as "Radwa." There is no harm in naming with good names that have meanings acceptable in Islamic law and that do not involve self-praise.
