It is to give the newborn a good name, according to the : "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers' names, so make your names good." The best names are those known among the Salaf. As for the names mentioned, they are permissible, and the best of them is "Habibah" because it is the name of some of the female Companions.
