About this name of Allah
Al-Hadi: "Your Lord is enough as a Guide and Helper" (Quran 25:31).
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًۭا وَنَصِيرًۭا
Surah Al-Furqaan, 25:31 · Read it with translation and audio
The full Abdul-Hadi is best. Hadi on its own, without “al-”, is also a human name, since the Quran uses the word for people (Quran 13:7); still, avoid calling the child by Allah's name with “al-”.
