Why Muslim names with Meaning ?

Muslims must choose a name that has a righteous meaning, that will benefit and bring blessings to the child throughout his or her life. It is reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and by your fathers' names, so give yourselves good names." (Hadith Abu Dawud).
A Muslim child where ever born, and a person embracing Islam, used to be called by a new name, probably in Arabic. Names of prophets, names combined with Asmaul Husna (Names of God), names from history, and the traditional or modern names are being used in this regard. Naming a child with a beautiful and honorable name is very important. The Prophet always chose names with good and beautiful meanings, even telling people to change their names if they had unpleasant meanings.Give your child the best possible name. Here, you can find beautiful and unique baby names for muslims.Quranicnames.com
P.S: please don't believe internet source whenever you found a pretty name on any site please ask your native imam or moulvi or mufti Saab (Islamic scholar) because sometimes it's really hard to find the real meaning of the name .. I searched the meaning of "Ayaan " for my baby boy when am pregnant, and for my baby girl (don't know the gender of my baby) I really loved the meaning of "Ayaan" which is "gift of god" (many sites have the same meaning which has wrong meaning (google source) but when I asked one of my Arab friends she quoted Qur'aan "Ayat" : It means where, how & when from the Quran: يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
finally i found athentic website called quranicnames.com in this site "ayaan have good meaing in persian language its mean long light.so don't hesitate to put this name.:)
Ayaan was mentioned in Quran many times as أيان and it is an adverb which means  
(Where, how, which or when) not as a gift of Allah!  Ayaan or Ayan is a Persian name that means “long night”, “inspiration”. no meaing in Arabic language.

So my dear friends choose careful whenever you want to choose names for your babies on net :) if its a boy I want to put "Ayman"for my baby boy  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayman and its true meaning"Ayman" : "Righteous, blessed, lucky.And if it's a girl I want to put "Aatika" its really very pretty name..."Aatika" is Our beloved prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him] Aunt's name. In total the Prophet’s (pbuh) paternal aunts were Affiyah, Umm-UL Hakim, Barrah, Atikah, Saffiyah, Arwa and Umaimah. Among the blessed Prophet's paternal aunts, Afiyya, Arwa, Aatika embraced Islam.
