Naming Children with the Names of Allah, the Exalted

Question
What is the ruling on naming children with the beautiful names of Allah, such as Aziz, Aziza, Malik, and Hafiz? Could you please explain the reasoning for whether this is permissible or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to use this name; because each of its names has a specific meaning related to God Almighty that befits His status, and a specific meaning for humans that suits them, so it is used according to each one's condition, and God knows best.
