^ i looked into this when my cousin was named Mikyle and it is ok to name your child after angels. i also asked my grandfather who is quite learned and he said it was ok too. the link below says that some people say it is not allowed but the consensus is that the hadith prohibiting this cannot be verified.

what is not permitted, however, are Taha and Yaseen and i believe one more but i can’t recall which one. I know many people have named their children either/both of those, but the reason i’ve read is that the meanings of those words are not known- only Allah knows what they mean so it is not permitted.

i also came across this explanation for taha/yaseen on another site:
6. Just as it is disliked to name with the names of Surahs of the Quran such as: TaHa, Yaseen and other names of Surahs. This is the saying of Imam Malik (Ra) - Ibnul- Qayyim also said: “The saying of the common people that Yaseen and TaHa are from the names of the Prophet (SAW) is not correct, there is no ‘Sahih’ Hadith about it or any ‘Hasan’ Hadith, nor anything ‘Mursal’ [having a missing link between the Tabiee and the Prophet (SAW)], nor any narration from any Companion, but rather they are letters like ‘Alif Lam Meem’, ‘Ha Meem’, ‘Alif Lam Raa’ and the like.”
From: Prohibited Names

i think, in the end, whatever you choose to name your child, its always a good idea to run it past an alim or an imam to confirm.

We can’t name children after surahs? There is a surah Layl – about the Night…
