Name for a Child

Question

Hello. I want to give my child the name of one of the boys who were murdered on 7/10. Will this negatively affect his fate in the future?

Answer

Hello,

I asked our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Amram Fried, shlita, and he instructed:

One should add and call the child another name, besides the name of the deceased.
