She does not like the name that her husband chose for the baby girl, and she calls her by a different name
Question

                I named my daughter after my sister, but my wife does not like this name and she has started to call her by another name, and she is forcing my other daughters to call their sister by that name, and this is something I cannot accept. What do you think about her calling my daughter by a name other than the name I gave her, without my approval.
Praise be to Allah.
	Naming the 
	newborn is the right of the father, but it should be done in consultation 
	with the mother, and a name should be chosen that is acceptable to both. But 
	if they disagree, then the father has the right to choose.

	Ibn al-Qayyim 
	(may Allah have mercy on him) said: Naming the child is the right of the 
	father, not the mother. This is a matter concerning which there is no 
	difference of opinion among people. If the parents disagree concerning the 
	naming of the child, then it is the father who has the right to choose.

	The hadiths 
	quoted above all indicate that. Moreover, the child should be named after 
	his father, not after his mother, so he is called So-and-so son of 
	So-and-so. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
	“Call 
	them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with 
	Allah” 
	[al-Ahzaab 33:5].

	The child 
	follows his mother with regard to being free or slave, and he follows his 
	father with regard to his lineage and his name; naming defines the lineage. 
	And with regard to religion, he follows the better religion of his parents.

	Naming, like 
	education and ‘aqeeqah, falls to the father, not the mother. The Prophet 
	(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Last night a son was born 
	to me, and I have named him after my father Ibraaheem.” End quote from 
	Tuhfat al-Mawdood bi Ahkaam al-Mawlood p. 135).

	Shaykh Bakr Abu 
	Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said, after confirming that:

	Based on that, 
	the mother should not dispute or argue.

	Consultation 
	between the parents gives a great deal of room for working out a mutually 
	agreeable option in an amicable fashion, thus strengthening the bond between 
	them.

	End quote from
	Tasmiyat al-Mawlood (28-29)

	There is nothing 
	wrong with the mother calling her daughter by a different name, so long as 
	the purpose behind that is not to change or show objection to the name the 
	father chose, especially if that is accompanied by urging others to reject 
	the original name. In that case, she is going against her husband, 
	transgressing his rights and offending him.

	Our advice to 
	the wife is to fear Allah, may He be exalted, and to accept the name that 
	her husband has chosen, since he has the right to do so from an Islamic 
	point of view, and so long as the name that he has chosen is permissible and 
	is one that is well known and familiar in your environment, and does not 
	include anything that may cause embarrassment or shame to the girl.

	And Allah knows 
	best.
