The answer

Many scholars have prohibited naming with "Tadeeb" (عبيد - worshipper of) for names that are not proven to be among the names of Allah the Almighty, because the names of Allah are divinely ordained (Tawqifiyyah). Bakr Abu Zayd considered this among the verbal prohibitions. If it is possible to change the name in official documents, then change it. Otherwise, always address him by the new name.
