There is no objection to naming with this name. No has been reported regarding the best names for women, except that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, named some of his daughters and others with beautiful names such as "Jameelah." He, peace and blessings be upon him, chose the names most beloved to him, but there is no legal recommendation to name with them. In the hadith: "The most beloved names to Allah are 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman.'"
