How to pick a kunya?

Choosing a Kunya

A Kunya is traditionally based on the name of your firstborn child. For instance, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is referred to as Abu Alqasim because his first son was named Alqasim. Similarly, the three notable Abdullahs—Abdullah Ibn Masood, Ibn Omar, and Ibn Abbas—gained recognition through their father's name. Therefore, selecting a Kunya often highlights the connection to one's progeny.
