Scholars dislike this name

Abd al-Muttalib means 'servant of al-Muttalib', joining Abd to a person rather than to Allah. It was the name of the Prophet's grandfather, and a few scholars tolerate it for that reason, but most say Abd should be joined only to a name of Allah.

عبد المطلب کا مطلب 'مطلب کا بندہ' ہے، یعنی عبد کو اللہ کے بجائے انسان کے ساتھ جوڑا گیا۔ یہ نبی ﷺ کے دادا کا نام تھا، اس لیے بعض علماء نرمی کرتے ہیں، مگر اکثر کے نزدیک عبد صرف اللہ کے نام کے ساتھ ہونا چاہیے۔

Better choice: Abdullah
