The answer

If the names of forums express their beneficial content and purify souls, then there is no harm in naming them with names such as "The Refuge," "The Soul," or "The Gardens" to promote and indicate the good they contain. This is in emulation of the predecessors who named their books with noble names such as "Riyadh as-Salihin" (Gardens of the Righteous), "Qut al-Qulub" (Sustenance of the Hearts), "Nur al-Idah wa Najat al-Arwah" (Light of Clarification and Salvation of Souls), and "Hadi al-Arwah ila Bilad al-Afrah" (Guide of Souls to the Lands of Joys).
