Jaabir bin ‘Abdillaah (radhiAllaahu ‘anhu) narrated: “A son was born to a man amongst us, so they said: ‘What shall we name him?’ And the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) replied: ‘Give him the name that is most beloved to me: Hamza bin ‘Abdil-Muttalib.’”
Hasan. As-Saheehah no. 2878

Shaikh al-Albaani (rahimahullaah):

“This (being said), his statement ‘the name that is most beloved to me’ was before he received revelation of the hadeeth: ‘The most beloved of names to Allaah are ‘Abdullaah and ‘Abdurrahmaan.’”
