apushatayd: See Rabbi Hoffman’s article https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1418506/baby-names-halacha-rabbi-yair-hoffman.html

I was always taught that LO SHINU AS SHEMAM was an ideal, not halacha. Rabbi Hoffman brings down at least one shita that it may be MIN HATORAH but it seems from what he quotes from R’ Moshe TZATZAL that is not the case.
