Is it forbidden to name a newborn girl "Fatimah Al-Zahra" as seen in a dream, knowing that it is the name of the Messenger's daughter, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?

It is to name the newborn on their seventh day or on the day of their birth. A good name should be chosen for them, preferably names of prophets, companions, and righteous individuals. Among the most beloved names for girls are the names of the Prophet's daughters and wives, peace and blessings be upon him. Naming a girl "Fatima Al-Zahra" is a good thing, as it is one of the best names.
