ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Say it FADL. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Fazl, Fazal and Fadel. In Arabic it is written with 3 letters, from right to left: ف fa + ض ḍad + ل lam.
Names taken from words in the Quran are a popular choice. Before choosing one, read the verse it comes from, as above, so you know the context the word is used in. With the father's name it becomes Fadl bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
