Scholars differ on this name

In Arabic Haram means 'sacred', and Haram ibn Milhan (RA) was a Sahabi of Badr. But in Urdu 'haram' means forbidden or unlawful, so the child is very likely to be teased.

عربی میں حَرام کا مطلب 'محترم' ہے اور حضرت حرام بن ملحانؓ بدری صحابی تھے، مگر اردو میں 'حرام' کا مطلب ناجائز ہے، اس لیے بچے کو شرمندگی ہو سکتی ہے۔
