Calculating the 7th day after a child is born and keeping the name Muhammad Aadil

Q: Allah has blessed me with a baby boy. I want to keep his name Muhammad Aadil. Aadil is one of the siffaat of Nabi-e-Kareem Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Is it a good name?

My son is born on Monday afternoon at 3:30 pm. Now I want to calculate the 7th day. If I count Monday then 7th day will fall on Sunday. Is it right? Or I must start counting from Tuesday then 7th day will fall on coming Monday.

A: You may keep this name.

The seventh day is Sunday.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
