Changing a name is permissible when there is a legitimate religious interest or to avert harm. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, changed the names of some of his Companions. Therefore, it is permissible to change a name to avert psychological harm, while ensuring that this change is documented and publicly declared to safeguard rights.
