There is no legal impediment to naming a child after Ayyub's wife (peace be upon him) or his daughters; for any name free from legal prohibitions is permissible. The exegetes mentioned that Ayyub's wife's name was "Rahma," and it was also said: "Liya." No information has been reported regarding his daughters' names.
