Answer
Manaaf is the name of an idol to which the pre-Islamic used to pray. (Taajul Uroos vol.12 pg.515)
It is, therefore, necessary to change this name.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
