What is the ruling on naming a newborn "Amanullah" (God's Trust/Security)?
It is forbidden to name someone with any name specific to God, or with a name that is only befitting of Him. It is permissible to use common names that can be applied to Him, the Exalted, and to others, such as the names "Ali," "Rashid," and "Badi'." It is not permissible to use a name that implies exaltation or glorification. It is preferable to name children with beautiful names such as "Abdullah" and "Abdul-Rahman," and the names of prophets, and to name daughters with the names of the Prophet's daughters, his wives, and the female companions. There is no objection to naming a newborn "Amanullah" (God's Trust) as long as it does not contain any -forbidden implications.
