"There is no indication in the or in the actions of the Salaf that a newborn is named at birth. Rather, the Sunnah is to pronounce the in the right ear upon birth. As for naming, if a name has already been prepared for the child beforehand, he is named with it. Otherwise, the Sunnah is to name him on the seventh day, and to sacrifice the for him on the same day, shave his head, and give charity in silver equal to the weight of his hair. And whoever is blessed with a newborn is urged to thank Allah and ask Him for the righteousness of his offspring."
