The names of prophets, companions, and righteous individuals are among the best names. There is no legal impediment to naming a child "Lut," as he was a prophet. However, to avoid the discomfort that the child might experience due to the name's association in the minds of some common people with the actions of Lut's people, it is advisable to choose another name from the prophets' names, such as Ibrahim or Ismail.
