Scholars dislike this name

Abd Awf means 'servant of Awf', and Awf is not a name of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ renamed Companions who had such names, e.g. Abdur Rahman ibn Awf's pre-Islamic servant-name was changed to Abdur Rahman.

عبد عوف کا مطلب 'عوف کا بندہ' ہے، اور عوف اللہ کا نام نہیں۔ نبی ﷺ نے ایسے نام بدل دیے، جیسے حضرت عبد الرحمن بن عوف کا جاہلیت والا نام بدل کر عبد الرحمن رکھا گیا۔

Better choice: Abdur Rahman
