Depends on what your belief system as well as language preference and period of time. God may not have a name and we, as humans, may have an instinctive need to name God. To figure out where we are, where we have been, how we have become, and where will we be.
Belief System
Catholic
Jewish
Christian
Baptism
Budha
Hindu
Sun
etc...
Time period:
For many years in the past, today's God was non-existent to yesteryear citizenry. Some were persecuted for their "off" beliefs.. There was Mithras, Egyptian's gods, Greek/Roman Gods, Tribal Gods - whether yesterday's gods are today's myths and today's gods are tomorrow's myths - can only be said as time will only tell..
Language
The present "God" has many names in many religions and prophets there of have many debates on what is a prophet and what is not..

He's got quite a few. Brahma, Krishna, Shiva, Yaweh, Zues, Allah, Pele, Jehova, Sakpata.
There's a really cool short story by Arthur C. Clarke called "The Nine Billion Names of God" where some Budhist monks in a monastery want to find the one true name of god, so they devise a writing system, figure out they need a computer, and hire some western guys to set it all up. They believe that once they know the true name of god, the universe will cease to exist.
Seriously cool story.

I think this depends on whom you ask. For many "God" has no name. Remember "God" is an english word. And so many different religions have different ways of referring to this entity. Some religions also believe that "god" cannot be isolated as this or that, because once you designate the entity you disregard all else that is.

We are limited and have many names according to our relationships. Parents, siblings, friends, beloveds, children, bosses, employees.....all have different names or nicknames for us.
If I can have so many titles according to my many different relationships and functions, then God must have unlimited names.
Jehovah, Allah and Rama are some.
There are different kinds of names.
Names like The Creator, the Great One, the Supreme Controller, show the greatness and magnificence of God.
Other names like Krishna, Govinda, Rama are personal names for God showing His qualities and relationships with his beloved devotees.
According to Vedic scripture, Krishna is the primary name for God. But God is in no way limited to only this name. However, there is special potency in calling to Him by His primary name.

JEHOVAH (Je•ho´vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha•wah´ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].
The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8;54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.
(Isaiah 42:8) . . .“I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images."

Psalm 83:18 Jehovah. At least it says so in the older King James. But in the newer ones they decided that his name wasn't worth mentioning.

God has many names in many different religions. Note how Christ said I will but on you the name of my god!
