How sound are the following hadiths: "Every person has a share of their name, so give your children good names," "Heaven lies beneath the feet of mothers," and "Whoever assumes the office of judge has been slaughtered without a knife"?

We have not come across the "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your mothers' names." However, the hadith "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers' names, so beautify your names" has been narrated, and it is a good hadith. As for "Paradise lies beneath the feet of mothers," it is weak, and the hadith of Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah suffices in its place. The hadith "Whoever appoints a judge has as if slaughtered without a knife" was narrated by Al-Hakim and authenticated by him, and Al-Dhahabi agreed with him.
