About this name of Allah
Al-'Aziz, the Almighty, whose might is never overcome (Quran 59:23).
هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْقُدُّوسُ ٱلسَّلَٰمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُ ٱلْمُهَيْمِنُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْجَبَّارُ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرُ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Surah Al-Hashr, 59:23 · Read it with translation and audio
The full Abdul-Aziz is best. Aziz on its own, without “al-”, is also a human name, since the Quran uses the word for people (Quran 12:30); still, avoid calling the child by Allah's name with “al-”.
