Re: Will you allow your child?
NYC, her name was Marya, and she was a gift to the prophet. While traveling to the Prophet she was accompanied by a sahaabi and her sister Sirin. Marya and Sirin converted during their journey and her sister married the sahaabi. The only reason I know this story is because my older daughter's name is Marya and we did a lot of research trying to find a name for my younger daughter. We wanted to name our little daughter Sirin but after consulting with a mufti, we were told that the story may be correct but there is no authentic source to confirm it and that we should rather go with a more well known name. So we named her Sara.
