In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
In Islam, daughters can be given gender-neutral names, but traditionally male names are reserved for boys.
In responding to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
If your name is a name shared among males and females, you need not worry. If, however, it has been used by males only, then you should try to change it.
There is no dearth of names that can be used for either boys or girls; here is a list of such names:
Noor, Jamal, Huda, Furat, Asma, Hind, Rabia, Haritha, Aseel, Ihsan, Ikhlas, Badr, Bishara, Bahjat, Taysir, Taj, Hikmat, Sabah, Kifah, etc.
Such names are common names: it is ok to give them to boys or girls.
The names of Asma, Hind, Rabia, Haritha were all commonly used by males and females during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
Names such as Aishah, Khadija, Asiya, Fathimah, Rayhana, Sajidah, Shakirah, Jameela are used by females only; hence they cannot be used for males.
Likewise, names such as Muhammad, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Ibrahim, Musa, Eisa are male names and we cannot use them to refer to females.
