ANSWER:

A child must be given one name only, then his father’s name and then his family name. 

Is it obligatory to name a child after his/her father’s name? What if the name of the child doesn’t represent any portion of the father’s name, for example, the son of Abdur Raheem is named as Mohammad Abdullah. As there is no linkage, is the name invalid according to Islamic ruling?
