What is the ruling on being named with pseudonyms such as: "Zahrat Al-Qur'an" (Flower of the Qur'an), "Rayhanat Al-Qur'an" (Sweet Basil of the Qur'an), or "Rekaz Al-Jannah" (Pillar/Support of Paradise)?

Names that involve a commendation of the named person, or attribute something to the Quran that is not from it—such as "Zahrat al-Qur’an" (Flower of the Quran), "Rayhanat al-Qur’an" (Basil/Sweet Basil of the Quran), and "Rikaz al-Qur’an" (Treasure of the Quran)—are disliked (makruh). It is preferred to use clear names and titles that have no ambiguity, do not imply a commendation of the named person, or risk lowering the Quran from its befitting status.
