Praise be to Allaah.
If you swore to name your
son Khaalid, then you decided to give him another name, then you should
offer expiation for breaking your oath, because Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning):
“Allaah will not punish
you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your
deliberate oaths; for its expiation (a deliberate oath) feed ten Masaakeen
(poor persons), on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your
own families, or clothe them or manumit a slave. But whosoever cannot afford
(that), then he should fast for three days. That is the expiation for the
oaths when you have sworn. And protect your oaths (i.e. do not swear much).
Thus Allaah makes clear to you His Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that you may be grateful”
[al-Maa'idah 5:39]

this expiation, please see the answer to question no.

It is not clear to us what
you mean when you say “This baby is the first son I am blessed with and I
fear for him.”
This has nothing to do with
naming him Khaalid or Battaal, rather you should ask Allaah to protect him.
You should choose
a good name for him, because this is something that is recommended by
sharee’ah. See the answer to question no.
