It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The four most beloved words to Allah are: La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, Subhan Allah, and Alhamdulillah. You may begin with any of them, there is no harm in it. And do not name your children Aflah (successful), Najeeh (prosperous), Yasar (ease), or Rabah (profit), because when you call them by name and ask if they are here, people will say, "No, he is not here." These are four things; do not add anything to them.
