The answer

The words "Taha" and "Yasin" must be revered and respected if they are considered from the Holy Quran, and it is not permissible to desecrate them. However, if an ordinary person is named with them, there is no obligation to revere them; for the mere coincidence of a word with a Quranic term or a prophet's name does not make it sacred. Respect for the names of prophets is due when they are coupled with what identifies them, such as "Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah" or "Jesus, peace be upon him," and not just the name itself.
