Is the name "Salsabil" legally (Islamically) desirable for a newborn, knowing that I am pregnant and have read about the ranks of naming a newborn according to Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya?

Naming a boy or a girl "Salsabil" is permissible, for the fundamental principle in naming children is permissibility and lawfulness, unless there is a prohibition against the name. "Salsabil" means soft and easy, and water is described with it; the drink "Salsabil" is easy to swallow. As for the names that are religiously recommended, they are those names that denote servitude to Allah Almighty, such as "Abdullah" and "Abdul Rahman."
