Boys Names

Keeping the name Mana

Q: I am marrying a convert who is not obliged to change his name as his name does not mean anything that goes against Islam, however my family has requested he still have a Muslim name for the family and Muslim community for introductory purposes, also in case he willingly would like to change his name. That being said, is he able to have the name Mana/Maana /Manha/Maanah as a Muslim name? I have seen this name online as acceptable names but it is referred for both girls and boys depending on spelling. Please confirm which spelling is acceptable Islamically for a boy and the meaning of it.

First name - Isa, Middle name - Mohammed, Last name as family name - Qureshi.

Keeping the name Binyameen

Q: I have a few questions regarding keeping the the name Binyameen:

1. Was Binyameen (Alayhis Salaam) given prophethood?

2. Is it wrong to keep the name Binyameen for my child because a lot of non-Muslims keep that name and it is the name of the Israeli's leader?

3. What is the meaning of Binyameen?
