God said His name was YHWH.
He is called many things when people add His character to His title.

All the names or titles given to God in the Bible are names and titles that identify "His" Nature, Characteristic and Attributes.
Mose's asked this same question in Exodus 13:13, And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
Notice God's reply in verse 14? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
I AM = Self-Existence, or the Self-existing One.
Today he has a name though. The name Yeshua in Hebrew means salvation.
In Hebrew, a name is given to a person to represent a person's
character, identity, purpose or destiny.
A name represents who a person is to be.
Jesus never heard the name "Jesus".
He was Jewish, with a Jewish / Hebrew name. The name which Jesus heard was "Yeshua".
His name has been translated into other names, with "Jesus" probably being the most recognized.
"Yeshua" is the name He answered to during His time on Earth.
A wonderful reality has been lost in the translations of His name.
You see, many wonder why Jesus claimed the Old Testament was about Him, and yet His name is never found in the Old Testament.
Very simple answer: His name "Yeshua" means "Salvation", and was translated into it's "literal" meaning, instead of the "actual" name.
Otherwise, it is said, the name "Yeshua" would be mentioned over 100 times in the Old Testament.
The Old Testament did point to Jesus; but with His Hebrew
name, "Yeshua".
Even more specifically, Our Messiah's Name is YAHSHUA = YAH IS SALVATION.
He was to come in His Father's Name.
His Father's name is Yahweh.
Jesus is the "Yah" of "Yah"weh

According to God, His name is YHWH. We call him other things, though. Like "God".

If you're Christian or Catholic, the common name is God, but He can also be called:
the Lord
the Father
the Almighty
Allah
-anything you want actually. He is someone you talk to and if you prefer to call Him papa, or dad, or anything YOU prefer, then He will accept that :)
