It is not permissible for a woman to take her husband’s name or his family name because that is attributing oneself to someone other than one’s father, and the husband has no right to force his wife to change her surname to his.

The Prophet did not urge us to choose names just because they are mentioned in the Quran. There are many names mentioned in the Quran that the Muslim is not allowed to give to his children such as Fir`awn (Pharaoh), Haman and Qarun.
