Doubting the meaning of a name
Q: My child was born on 20 January 2017. I kept his name Hibban as I found this is the name of a Sahaabi. But now when I searched the meaning on internet it shows the meaning of Hibban is 'having too much flesh, angry, outburst' which is not good. And somewhere I found the meaning is 'beloved one, lover'. So please guide me in finalizing the decision of keeping the right name with good meaning for my baby boy.

Changing one's name after accepting Islam
Q: I was Hindu and married a Muslim guy and converted now. I want to know is it mandatory to change name to Islamic name? I heard many YouTube scholar speeches where they say it isn't necessary to change the name. If it doesn't have any bad meaning of something related to other religion, my name has no bad meaning nor it is Sanskrit name. It isn't Hindu name at all and it doesn't associate any other gods names too. Please reply, they have changed my name for marriage purpose and have affidavit but I don't want to get it changed in documents as I also heard that we can visit mecca by just having proof of conversion and affidavit and marriage certificate. Please advise. I'm emotionally very much attached to my old name.
Keeping the name Ayesha Fathima
Q: Can I name my daughter as "Ayesha Fathima" because I named my first daughter as "Arfa Fathima", I wanted to have "Fathima" as last name for both my daughters. Why I doubt is Ayesha is the name of Wife of Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), and Fathima is the daughter of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
