Is it permissible to name a newborn female (سَحَاب) with an open Ḥāʾ without a shaddah, and is it a common name or exclusive to females, and does the shaddah on the Ḥāʾ in "Saḥāb ibn al-Ḥārith" change its ruling, and what is correct between "Saḥāb is a woman's name" and "Saḥābah is a woman's name"? And does the pluralization of "Saḥābah" into "Suḥāb" remove it from femininity?

The guideline for permissible names is that they must be free from servitude to other than Allah, from exaggerated praise and aggrandizement, from dispraise and disparagement, and from effeminacy and abasement. The name "Sahab" (سحاب) is permissible for both males and females, as it is a common noun that can be masculine or feminine, singular or plural, as explicitly stated by linguists. The name Sahab has been used for a man, and the name Sahabah (سحابة) has been used for a woman.
