The answer

The two names mentioned are alien to Muslims, and it is not advisable to be named by them. The name "Radeen" can have a meaning in the Arabic language, and if so, there is no objection to being named by it. As for the name "Madeleine", it is famous among non-Muslims, and a Muslim should not be named by it; due to what it may lead to of inclination towards them and admiration for them. The prohibition is confirmed if its meaning contradicts religion or if its meaning is unknown.
