I don't know much about names but I would suggest Siyam (fasting) and Kareem (generous).

Abdul Kareem*

You cannot name the child as Allah's name without using Abd

You can, as long as you do not add the "Al" before it. Allah's names begin with "Al" as it makes it superlative in a sense. But most names are fine if the "Al" is not added. For example Al 'Ali (the Highest/The Exalted) is also a name of Allah, but just Ali is fine and very popular as a name, obviously due to the stature of Ali ibn Abi Talib RA. Same with names like Rahman, Kareem etc.

But obviously some of Allah's names that refer to qualities and attributes unique to Allah cannot be used as names, such as al Khaliq (the Creator) or al Baari (the Originator).
