Name of a deity worshipped besides God: disliked
Name of one of the principal goddesses of Hinduism, goddess of fortune and wealth, so it falls under names of deities worshipped besides Allah. Seekers Guidance (an answer by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani) lists taking the name of a Hindu deity among names that directly express disbelief and calls them prohibited, so a scholar should decide whether this name belongs in the forbidden tier. No ruling on this exact name was read.
