Draft: not yet reviewed by a scholar. This is not a fatwa.
Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Yasir (ياسر) is the name of Ammar's father, a companion. It shares the root of 'ease' with Yasar (يسار), the servant name the Prophet told people not to use; a Jordanian fatwa dislikes the related form Aysar, so a scholar should confirm Yasir.
Confidence: medium
