The answer

There is no objection to being named with the shared names of Allah, which are applied to Him, the Exalted, and to others, such as: Al-Hafiz (The Preserver), Al-Kareem (The Generous), and Al-Rashid (The Guide), as long as the meaning exclusive to Allah is not intended. As for the names exclusive to Allah, such as Al-Khaliq (The Creator) and Al-Quddus (The Holy), it is not permissible to be named with them.
