Khaythamah bin Abd al-Rahman bin Sabrah narrates: His father, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him), went with his grandfather to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: What is your son's name? He replied: Aziz. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not name him Aziz; rather, name him Abd al-Rahman. Then he said: The best names are Abdullah, Abd al-Rahman and al-Harith.
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ : وُلِدَ لِجَدِّي غُلَامٌ ، فَسَمَّاهُ عَزِيزًا ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : وُلِدَ لِي غُلَامٌ . فَقَالَ : " مَا سَمَّيْتَهُ ؟ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : عَزِيزًا . قَالَ : " لَا بَلْ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ " .
In a narration transmitted from Khaythamah, the words are: He says: A son was born to my grandfather, and he named him Aziz. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: A son has been born to me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What have you named him? He said: Aziz. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No! Rather, he is Abd al-Rahman.
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : كَانَ اسْمُ أَبِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ عَزِيزًا ، فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بِأَسَانِيدَ رِجَالُهَا رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ ، وَلَكِنَّ ظَاهِرَ الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ الْإِرْسَالُ .

Ahmad recorded it with various chains whose narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, but the first two narrations apparently appear to be mursal.

Sabrah bin Abi Sabrah narrates from his father that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: How many children do you have? He said: So-and-so, so-and-so, and Abd al-Uzza. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is Abd al-Rahman; among your names, the one most deserving to be given (the narrator is in doubt; perhaps the words are:) the best of your names is this (that is, Abd al-Rahman), if you give names." After that the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains al-Hajjaj bin Artah, in whom there is weakness. The rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: How many children do you have? He said: Abd al-Uzza, Sabrah and al-Harith.
