And He is the Knowing Judge."

Al-Fattah: The Opener, The Victory Giver

In this context he judging between right and wrong. In the verse God is called the "Knowing Judge" in the Arabic this is Al-Fattah more commonly referred to as the victory giver which in a sense is a judge. 

God with lead you through a clear ethical code through being the "knowing judge" or the "victory giver."

Theme of this is mostly that God gives an ethical path for you by "giving victories" or acting as a "Knowing Judge" 

A similar name of God would be similar. Al-Qabid: meaning "The Straightener" this almost acts as the opposite of the "victory giver" almost like a second half. Both mean that Allah acts as an ethical leader but Al-Fattah in more of a positive manner, and Al-Qabid in more of a disciplinary manner.

There is a guide that will help you with the struggles with the enemy. 

This shows the human devine interactions that help us understand what we should do with enemy/ what choices we should make in life. 

This would be under a leadership theme.

O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do.
2. CONTEXT: 
At first glance, this name shows Allah as vindictive and hateful, but as you read the passage you see how the name isn’t hateful or fearful it’s more honest. Everyone dies and it’s just a natural state for humans and just another step towards the oneness of God.
3. INTERACTIONS:
The topic of Death is kind of morbid, but necessary at the same time. While killing is unnatural and punishable, death is an accepted and celebrated time. Wakes are called celebrations of death, proving most religions celebrate death as a way to become closer to their god.
4. THEME: 
Moving closer to Allah through the celebration of death.
5. RELATED NAMES

Al-Mueed - Brings people back from the dead

1. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (46:2)
2. The 10th year of the Prophethood was a year of extreme persecution and distress in the Prophet’s life.
3. Everyone has a purpose to live. Everyone’s life has a certain meaning.
4. His theme to my understanding would have to involve decision making and intuition.
5. Muhammad follows along this theme because he uses his own intuition along following the word of God. He is wise and has a lot of knowledge on the world similar to Al Hakeem.

You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

This basically says that Allah, God, makes the decisions based on his own reasoning. 
He owns the honor and dishonor of people, saying that Allah has all the power
