Question
Salam,can you give your chid more than 1 muslm name please?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible to name the newborn child with more than one name as long as there is no prohibition in such names. The Prophet had many names but he had five well-known names which were mentioned in the Hadeeth (narration) which reads: ''I am Muhammad, Ahmad, Al-Maahi (by whom Allaah eradicates disbelief), Al-Haashir (after whose resurrection people will be resurrected and will collect around him) and Al-‘Aaqib (after whom there will be no prophet or messenger)” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 87307 and 103123.
For more benefit on the conditions of naming a newborn child, please refer to Fataawa 87262 and 82724.
Allaah Knows best.
