People's names in the Hereafter will be the same those in this life

Question

Will people in Paradise call each other using the same names as those in this life?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
