The answer

"An-Nur" (The Light) is one of Allah's Beautiful Names, and it is permissible to name children "Abd An-Nur" (Servant of The Light). However, "Abdullah" (Servant of Allah) and "Abdul-Rahman" (Servant of The Most Merciful) are more beloved to Allah. It is preferable to avoid the name "An-Nur" in servitude (i.e., naming a child "Abd An-Nur") because Christians use it, referring to Christ (peace be upon him), and they call Mary "Umm An-Nur" (Mother of The Light).
