I know Adam named all the animals (it says so in the bible), but who decided that God should be called JHWH, Eloi or or whatever?

I see by some of the questions on this board that a fair amount of Christians avoid celebrating Hallowe'en because it being pagan in origin.

Why is then that they celebrate Christmas and Easter despite these two holidays (and the time of year in which they fall) are pagan in origin?

Christmas - Christmas trees, Yule logs, present giving, celebrations at year end in general - all of these stem from pagan festivals such as Yule, the Winter Equinox and Saturnalia.

Easter - celebrated during the Spring Equinox and the name alone stems from Anglo-Saxon mythology, Eostre (pronounced the same way). Many other religions had similar myths to the reserection of Jesus aswell - in Greek mythology Persephone returned from the underworld at the beginning of Spring, Phrygian mythology had an omnipotent deity that went to sleep in at the Winter Equinox and they had festivals at the dawn of Spring to awaken him.

So why do some Christians have a problem with one but not these two?

Do you use the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, or the elements of Sky, Land, and Water or something else entirely. I am doing research on the different druid groups and what elements they use. Please also let me know if it is okay to use your answers in my research and what name you would like me to use if you agree.
