Like humans get angry when we pronounce their name wrong?
As Crazy like a Fox so eloquently said.
The ego at our level is full of evil. False prides like sexism, racism, nationalism, and religious intolerance. Those false prides being a trick of the ego to try and make up for low self-esteem, (self-love, self-worth, and self -respect).
At the spiritual level. The ego is desire for self-expression, and gives rise to creativity and invention.
Does our Creator get mad when we we call Him by different names? I think He knows who we are talking to. Don't you?

God does not have the same type of emotions as we do. We should not try to bring Him down to our level

Well, he surely has. But what he destroys, he can restore if restoration is deserved. Why should not he have that since he is able to give replacement for the best? Let say A is killed, and he deserves to be restored, God will certainly give him a much glorious body at the next life. So for that, we can trust him. So in trusting him, one is killed, he can get restoration. Won't this be better than those that condemn or criticize him, where will they go or their rewards for being heroes for the weak which apparently God has not seemed interested to see that they live or remove from suffering. So is it worthwhile for creatures to condemn the creator for commissioning or non commissioning certain acts you expect him to carry out in your favour? We must be joking.

When you say "ego" you are actually referring to what in vedic scriptures is called "false ego" or the identification with the body and the bodily concepts of life. Besides that "false ego" there is a "true ego", our real identity as part and fragment of God. We are all familiar with the biblical sentence "God made us as Its image and similarity" but it doesn't mean that God has OUR image and similarity.
For more information about God´s ego you can check the Sri Isopanisad at http://www.vedabase.net/iso/invocation/en
In the Srimad Bhagavatam it is related the whole life of God playing the roll of a cow boy. Go to http://www.vedabase.net/sb/10/11/en and tell me what you found!

Creator only created all the qualities like Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha and Mathsara..(Eight Enimies they call).. and he watches the fun from heaven how his creation controls these enemies... God is peculiar you know... because we can't know him perfectly well!. But I take all those six as my friends like using candiments used for making the dish tasty....!!. But if the quantum of any item (Salt, Mirchi, etc) is not in proper proportion
the taste gets spoiled... so also the control over this six enimies.
So also the Aham "EGO".

God is the creator. He created every thing in the universe but forgot to create a heart for Himself! Since He is so busy creating infinite, he has possibly no time for Himself.
Ego is a development from the heart and since He has no heart, He has no ego.
That is the reason God demands from us our heart, as He has none!

There are two kinds of I. ' I ' the creater and ' I ' the created. Once we get rid of our false ego as lord of what we survey then it is possible to attain a pure sense of ' I '.
On the other hand we don't possess anything outside that of the Lord. Whatever we have is in infinitesimal minute quantities as compared to the Lord who is the source of everything.
There are many names for someone as great as God. Yes, he is the knower in our hearts and he knows when we address him.

Yes. The Lord knows that though people call Him by different names, they are indeed calling out to Him.
Different children call the father or mother differently and even sometimes in broken words. Still the parents relish that their children have called them and the affection involved in that relationship is taken into credit rather than external formalities.
The grown up son or daughter may call father or mother whereas the child may call mama or papa or mom or dad etc....
Similarly one may call Krishna, Rama, Vishnu, Narayana etc... somebody else may call the same Lord as God, Allah, Kudha, Isvara, Bhagavan, Paramatma etc.... All are referring to the same God. The omniscient and omnipotent Lord knows all.

How many do you think will call White Buffalo "wrong"? While they indulge in their EGOs, and get MAD, simply because he referred to the Creator as a HE!

If you want to know what the Creator is like, look at Jesus Christ who said "He who has seen Me has seen the Father."
Then He let men crucify Him for the sins of the world.
