The basic principle concerning names is permissibility, unless they include a -prohibited element. Naming a child "Mecca Al-Mukarramah" is legally permissible, but it is not suitable for a baby girl as it deviates from what is customary and may imply self-praise. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, changed names that contained self-praise. There are many good and suitable names available.
