I will not, and the reason is that the name is holy, which at one time meant that it was NOT to be used, or written, or seen, or heard, except under very specific circumstances by the priests or others under their supervision.
That meaning, although the original one, has changed as the West adopted the word, and other regions translated the word into similar but different words in their own cultures.
This is why the Ark was hidden from sight, no idol was ever made (no graven images), and the name was not written.
Even the word you used should not be used.
I find it interesting that this quality is shared by the "Good folk", who were never to be named, or looked at directly.
Maybe something to all of it.

GOD’S NAME
The Massorah has a rubric calling attention to these first 4 acrostics. This locks in the name of God according to Hebrew and Biblical scholars. The name also being spelled backwards for Divine reasons, a subject for another time.
Est.1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
( shall give to their husbands honour both to great and small ) Hebrew ( Hi Vekal Hannashim Yittenu ) HVHY
Est.5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
( let the king and Haman come this day ) Hebrew ( Yabo Hammelek Vehaman Hayyom ) YHVH
Est.5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
( this availeth me nothing ) Hebrew ( zeH eynennV shoveH leY ) HVHY
Est.7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
( that there was evil determined against him ) Hebrew ( kY kalethaH elayV haraaH ) YHVH
Also a 5th acrostic of “ I am”, ( I am that I am ) Hebrew ( ehyeh asher ehyeh ) Exo.3:14
Est.7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
( Who is he, and where is he ) Hebrew ( huE zeH veeY zeH ) EHYH “I am”
The Massorah has a special rubric calling attention this acroustic.
Psa.96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Hebrew ( Yismehu Hashshamayim Vethagel Haarez ) YHVH

I don't know how many people can tell you. The Hebrew name for God however was JHVH. Its pronounciation has been lost through the ages due to the reverence that they had for it. Today many languages have inserted vowels and/or changed it in order that it becomes pronounceable in the vernacular language in each specific linguistic area of the globe. God breathed His Spirit into the clay form of man and man became a living soul. The word of God is said to be God-breathed (inspired). When someone dies they are said to expire. That is literally they lose their breath and die. When God worked his will in the life of Abram and Sarai He changed their names to Abraham and Sarah. The expression of breath therefore was added to their names which identified them as God's servants. If you think about it you will notice that it is your own breath that identifies you to the world as having life. It is your breath which is the principle of life within you. This is the innate evidence of God sustaining you and personal witness of the first act of creation in Adam. God is Spirit and just as the wind cannot be held or seen so also the name of God may not be comprehended but our very breath and the breath of all living entities declare Him by every breath that they breath. May He forever reign and have His sovereign will be done in the hearts of all who would likewise carry His name.

aaaaaaah well thats a matter of contention, some think its Jehovah, some think its Yawae or something close to that. However i dont think God ever made an issue of names, would you say mister president, or hey George? God is his station in existance and i dont think he really wanted us to be on a first name basis.

How many DIFFERENT names of God can you give listed in the Bible?
I AM is His name. That is how He told Moses to tell Pharoah.

God is not a being of one sort. God if one chooses that term, is all that is, you and me and everything.
