Is it reprehensible to be named "Kamal al-Din" (Perfection of the Religion), and if so, what is the reason for this reprehensibility?
The name "Kamal al-Din" (Perfection of the Religion) is disliked because it creates the illusion that its bearer is the one who perfected the religion, whereas Allah the Almighty has already perfected the religion with His words: "This day I have perfected for you your religion." The Prophet forbade naming with "Barrah" (Pious/Righteous Woman) due to the self-praise it entails, and the name "Kamal al-Din" is even more deserving of being disliked.
