Salam alaykum. Nice and important topic. Is there any law or sunnah regarding choice of a child name or we should just choose base on love or perception.

males * Mur'shid, Mar'zuk and labeeb
female *wafiqoh
I'm always mindful of d way people pronounce some names.... it's one of d factors I consider.....
Khalid(i like d name)for instance is often pronounced by Ppl this way "kalid " kaf as against "Khalid " kho.. .the former gives a BAD meaning

This is very wrong.

Why must your children's name be Arabic?

There is nothing like a Muslim name. You can be named "Oluwatobi" (God is great) and still be a good Muslim.

Why can't you give them names in your own African language?

This sounds like mental slavery and colonial mentality
