The answer

"An-Nazi'at" are the angels who extract souls, and it is not permissible to name a girl with this name because it is one of the titles and attributes of angels. Similarly, it is not permissible to name girls with the names of angels, such as "Malak" (angel); this is due to the resemblance to the polytheists in their belief that angels are the daughters of Allah, and because good names are sufficient instead of these.
