Is it permissible to name a girl "Nahid"? Is it true that it is a name exclusively for boys, or that its meaning is bad and forbidden? What is the meaning of this name?

There is no objection to naming a girl Nahed or Nahida, because their meaning signifies the prominence and elevation of the breast, which is specific to women at puberty. A male should not be named with this name.
