Is it permissible to name one's son "Nadeem al-Rahman"?
It is not permissible to be named "Nadim al-Rahman," because nadim (نديم) means companion, and far be it from Allah to have a companion. Furthermore, nadim is often associated with drinking wine. Therefore, it is disliked to be named with it, even if it is not added to one of Allah's names.
