My son will be born in around 40 days (insha’allah).
I was wondering has the Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) suggested/recommended any names to name the new born?
If so please provide the ahadeeth.

1I think you are free to name your baby what ever name you like. you don't have to only choose or think about an Islamic name. There are so many non-Islamic meaningful names. I think it's totally depends on your and your wife's wish. In my opinion, you should think about a meaningful name instead either it'll be Islamic or not.– AzadMay 13, 2014 at 10:55

Although you might have had named your baby by now, I support above suggestion of Azad, although Abd-Allah(and other names of Allah) are highly advised.– servant-of-WiserMar 18, 2015 at 13:51

Best names which is prefixed by Mohammad or Abed
This hadeeth shows the best names to give:
For example:
AbdoLLAH
Abdurahman
AbduLmalek
Mohamad
Mohamad Ali
Mohamad Hasan
etc....
Best names, according to hadith are Abdullah and Abdur-rehman
Prophet Muhammad said:
"Keep the names of the Noble Prophets,(Sallallaho alaihe Wasallam) Allah, the Exalted, loves most the names Abdullah and Abdur Rahman. "
