Does saying "the name of the Individual" necessitate expiation, based on the fact that it is not among the Most Beautiful Names of Allah?

"Al-Fard (the Unique/Solitary)" is not among the names of Allah Almighty; rather, "Al-Wahid (the One)" and "Al-Ahad (the Unique)" are among His names. Similarly, "Al-Qadim (the Ancient/Eternal)" is not among His names; rather, "Al-Awwal (the First)" is among His names. It is not permissible to supplicate to Allah with "O Qadim" or "O Fard," but rather with Allah's beautiful names that are established by evidence. Whoever supplicates to Allah with names that are not established must cease and seek forgiveness, and no expiation is due from him.
