God goes by MANY names -- 

Elohim -- God
YHVH -- Yahweh, or Jehovah
El Elyon -- The Most High God
Adonai -- Lord
El Shaddai -- Lord God Almighty
El Olam -- The Everlasting God
YHVH Jireh -- The LORD will provide
YHVH Rapha -- The LORD who heals you
YHVH Nissi -- The LORD is my banner
El Qanna -- Jealous God
YHVH Mekoddishkem -- The LORD who sanctifies you
YHVH Shalom -- The LORD is peace
YHVH Raah -- The LORD is my shepherd
YHVH Tsidkenu -- The LORD is OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
YHVH Shammah -- The LORD is there

I'm sure there are others -- but the point is -- God is known by many of his attributes and is known by MANY of HIS names.

God bless,

George

Exo 3:14  WEB God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

Exo 3:15  God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

Note that YHWH is interpreted as LORD, Jehovah, or Yahweh because His Name was considered too sacred to say aloud for fear of saying His Name in vain.  

Isa 44:6  This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

Rev 1:8  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, ” says the Lord God,“who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

I think the concept of having a name for a God when there is only one God is kind of..  wrong..

We humans need names to distinguish us from other humans.. God does not need any names to distinguish Himself from any other gods because there are no other God but Him..

The concept i prefer to us is God's  Acceptable Titles.. George has provided a number of them already..  and there are more acceptable titles like..

The God of Abraham

Abba ,, which means Father

The Ancient of Days

Jehovah

LORD of Hosts

Rock of Israel

Redeemer

The Most High

So there are a number of acceptable titles for God many of them are statements of praise or acknowledgements of Gods peerless Sovereign status above all others..

not many people would agree with me here, but it is my opinion that Jesus is the old testament mosaic God Yahweh as it is told by John that he was in the form of god before he incarnated.   He used the term I AM as his name to Moses, and he used the term to the Jews who were speaking of Abraham.....   and when he was in the garden and asked who the mob was looking for in the Greek text, he replied  I AM and they all fell to the ground...….   We do not know the Father's name and didn't know much of anything about the Father until Jesus came and introduced Him to us.

Like I said, not too many people would agree with that, but...…   we'll see how it goes when Jesus comes back.
