It is permissible to name someone "Subhan" without adding it to "Allah Ta'ala," because no -related prohibition arises from that. "Subhan" is a verbal noun meaning glorification, and its verb is no longer in use. It is strange that some people use names not intended for naming, while abandoning the good names that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, informed us are the best to be named with, such as "Abdullah" and "Abdul Rahman."
