If a person changes his name, does he have to offer another ‘aqeeqah on his own behalf?

Question: 196742

If I change my name, do I have to offer another ‘aqeeqah giving my new name, so that the name that is recorded with Allah will be changed, or does the name that is recorded with Allah not change?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

The one who changes his name does not have to offer ‘aqeeqah again on his
own behalf.

It
says in Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (10850): Changing one’s name
to something that is permissible is better if the name has an inappropriate
meaning, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) changed
some names to permissible meanings. That does not require repeating the
‘aqeeqah, as some of the common folk think. End quote.
