according to the rambam (greated jewish rabbi who followed logic and science) he has an infinite supply, each meaning a different thing to a different person. to some he is goodness, to some he is happiness, to some (the religious) he is an spiritual entity, who has a different name to each religion. judaism has a few for him, each pronounced more and more rarely due to varying degrees of holiness. the longest, which is unknown, was 72 letters long and was pronounced once a year at the Old Temple on Yom Kippur. It is carved on the staff of moses which, and will be pronounced again when the staff is found and the temple is rebuil (we beleive, but im not forcing this on anyone. we also beleive porselytizing is evil.)
(btw the word ppl have used which begins with a j, is a bad anglisization of a name of his we only pronounce or write fo rthe purpose of prayer)

This only matters to you and your faith. Jewish scriptures say that God said, I am your God, the one and only Lord. Jehovah's Witness, say his name is Jehovah, Christians believe that Jesus and God are the same, Allah means God to Muslims. Jews for Jesus (which was formed by Southern Babtists to convert others, call Jesus Yeshua, which is Jesus in Hebrew. No body can take your faith from you, and through prayer and your conscious, you can determine who or what God is for you. Just try to do the right thing, keep asking the answers, and you will find your way. God might simply be the energy that connects us all, and we have a choice to love each other, or be full of hatred. That is free will, to find your way and hopefully make good choices. Great question, and be well. Bear

He has many names. The first name I believe writen is Yaweh. He is called numerous other things such as the alpha omega, begining & end, Savior, Messiah, Redeemer, great I am. But again, Yaweh (I'm pretty sure) was the first name given. I hope my response helped!
God bless,

Every religion will obviously have a different answer, but I believe that the Judeo-Christian God said "Tell them that *I AM* sent you."

If you really read the old Testement god had many names
The names or titles given to God in the Bible reveal much about His characteristics - who He is, what He is like, and what He does. When the Bible uses the phrase the ``name of God" or ``in the name of the Lord" it refers to His total person - all that He is. And God's name is excellent and majestic. (Psalm 8: 1)
Elohim (God) means ``might or strong one"; it denotes the power and pre-eminence of God and is especially used in relationship to creation and strength. (Genesis 1: 1; Psalm 68: 1)
Adonai (Lord) means ``master, sovereign ruler or Lord" and generally denotes the authority and position of God. (Psalm 68: 32; Isaiah 6: 8-11)
Yahweh or Jehovah (Lord) means most likely the self-existent one (I am who I am or Iam the One who is) and denotes God's personal name and His eternality. It is often used in relationship to God as redeemer and covenant keeper. Yahweh is the most common name for God in the Old Testament. God's personal name was so sacred to most Jews that they feared to write or say it lest they misused it and usually substituted Adonai for Yahweh. Jehovah is an English word created from the other two to stand for God's personal name. (Genesis 2:4; Exodus 3:14; Psalm 68:14)
El Shaddai means ``God Almighty" and pictures God as the all powerful source of blessing and comfort. (Genesis 17:1; Exodus 6:3; Psalm 68:14)
El Elyon means ``God most High" and pictures God's strength and sovereignty. (Genesis 14:18; Psalm 9:2)
El Roi means ``God who sees" and denotes God's personal care and presence (Genesis 16:13)
El Olam means ``Everlasting and Eternal God" and pictures God's eternality and infinite strength. (Genesis 21:33; Isaiah 40:28)
The following are the main Old Testament Yahweh/Jehovah compound names:
Yahweh Jireh means the ``Lord provides" and was used by Abraham when God provided a sacrificial lamb instead of Isaac. (Genesis 22:14)
Yahweh Sabbaoth means the ``Lord of hosts" (hosts is sometimes translated almighty or army) and pictures God as the commander of the heavenly armies. (Joshua 5:14; I Samuel 1:3; Psalm 24:10)
Yahweh Rophe (or Rapha) means the ``Lord who heals" and denotes the physical and spiritual healing power of God. (Exodus 15:26)
Yahweh Shalom means the ``Lord is peace" and denotes the lack of tension, conflict and strife in God. (Judges 6:24)
Yehweh Nissi means the ``Lord is my banner" and signifies that the battle is the Lord's. (Exodus 17:15)
Yahweh Tsidkenu means the ``Lord our righteousness" and signifies God as the only source of true righteousness. (Jeremiah 23:6)
Yahweh Maccaddeschcem means the ``Lord our sanctifier" (or the Lord who makes you holy) and signifies that God is the one who sets people apart and makes them holy. (Exodus 31:13; Leviticus 20:8)
Yahweh Raah (rohi) means the ``Lord our Shepherd" and denotes God's loving care, protection and provision for His people. (Psalm 23:1)

I think He who we call God is not nearly as worried about what we call him as he is worried about our behavior. We have not been playing nicely, nor have we been cleaning up after ourselves while we think He is not looking.
If I call you Jeffro, does it change who you are? No. Don't worry about his name; it really doesn't change anything.
