ELI5 - Why are Muslims OK with naming their children Mohammed, but not with depictions of Mohammed?

Why is one OK but not the other?

Depictions of Mohammed or any religious figure borders on having a "graven image" or what we would designate as an idol. That is why Islamic art is primarily geometric designs. This is also something that many Protestant branches of Christianity also believe and why they do not have pictures of Jesus, Apostles, Mary, etc and why they have issue with Catholics. 

Naming someone after the prophet is not worshiping that child, it is just honoring an important person.
