In the eyes of observant Jews, the name YHWH is more sacred than the word "elohim" (god) and the 7th commandment says "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name", so "God" is the preferable name.
In Hebrew, common terms are "hashem" (=the name), "adonay" (=my lord) and "elokim" (a deliberate typo of the word elohim).

He has many names one of which is Yahweh not yaweh also Jehovah and in my belief which is the true form of judaism Yeshua or Jesus.

If you consider that God is not limited by language and can communicate with all people, then what you call him is a trivial thing, he understands by the nature of your heart what you mean and the motives behind your words.
