1503. Ibn 'Abbās said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once left from (the house of) Juwairiyah — and her name used to be Barrah but the Prophet ﷺ changed it. When he left, she was sitting in her prayer place, and when he returned, she was still sitting there. He asked her: 'Have you remained in this prayer place of yours?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I said after (leaving) you four phrases, three times; were they to be weighed against (all) that you said, they would be heavier: "Subhān Allāh wa bi-hamdihi 'adada khalqihī wa ridā nafsihi, wa zinata 'arshihi wa midāda kalimatih" (Glory be to Allāh, and Praise (as much as), the quantity of His creation, and until He is pleased, and the weight of His Throne, and the amount of His speech)."(Saḥih)"

Commentary
Personal names suggesting self-praise are not deemed proper. So are names with a bad connotation. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to change such names. See no. 4952 and what follows it.
