The names of God reveal his character and nature. In God's dealings with us as human beings he often revealed an aspect of himself that we could relate to in our everyday lives. For instance he saw how troubling and anxious our lives would often seem to us so he let us know that he is Jehovah - Shalom, the Lord our Peace. He wants us to understand his names so we will understand HIM.

Several of those names actually refer to Jesus Christ, the Son of Jehovah God. The Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.

(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation

(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.

(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God

(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God

(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth

(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak

(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am

(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him

(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father

(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God

(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.

(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah

(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

I've heard of all of those and the ones the other posted listed, except for:
Jehovah-Nissi
Jehovah-Rohi
Jehovah-Rophe
Jehovah-Tsidkenu
Jehovah-M'Kaddesh
Jehovah-Shammah
Jehovah-Shalom (although I know what shalom means)

I like "The Great I Am" or just "I Am" and "The Beginning and The End"
