About this name of Allah
Al-Hafiz: "My Lord is Guardian over all things" (Quran 11:57).
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُم مَّآ أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّى قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ وَلَا تَضُرُّونَهُۥ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَفِيظٌۭ
Surah Hud, 11:57 · Read it with translation and audio
The full Abdul-Hafiz is best. Hafiz on its own, without “al-”, is also a human name, since the Quran uses the word for people (Quran 12:55); still, avoid calling the child by Allah's name with “al-”.
