These are suitable names.


1) معاد - Ma'ad means, The place of return i.e. The Hereafter. (Mukhtarus Sihah Pg.643)


2,a) ماعز -Ma'iz means, young or hardworking. Ma'iz was a name of a Sahabi, Ma'iz Ibn Malik Al Aslami (RA).

b) ماﺋز - Maiz means, distinction. (Misbahul Lughat)



And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
