Diminutives of names containing the worship of other than Allah, such as Abdulaziz

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person’s name is Abdulaziz or Abdurrahman, is it permissible for me to use the diminutive form of his name, saying Azouz or Aziz Hay?

Answer:
No, it is not appropriate. However, you may use the diminutive form of the name by saying Ubayd al-Rahman, Ubayd Allah, or Ubayd al-Aziz. You diminish the word "servant," not the name of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). You only diminish the word "servant": Ubayd Allah, Ubayd al-Rahman.
