Is it permissible to name a newborn "Azar," mentioned in the Holy Quran?

It is not befitting for a Muslim to name his son "Azar" because his misguidance and death upon disbelief have been established, as is evident from Allah Almighty's statement about Abraham to his father: "Indeed, I see you and your people in clear error," and Abraham's supplication: "And forgive my father; indeed, he was of those astray." Allah has forbidden Paradise to disbelievers.
