IF you was in a crowd of men and women and you wanted to get the attention of someone and shouted MAN or WOMAN no one would know who you are talking to exactly, but if you mentioned them by name that person would know you are talking to them!! Right? So to me Lord is a title like Man and Woman, surely then God has a personal name?? Some say Jehovah God. The Lords prayer says let your name be sanctified, or be made known, so he must have a name. what then is Gods name. i need to pray to God useing his personal name...

Someone couldn't have a personal relationship with me unless they knew & used my name.
It's the same with God
Anyone who wants a personal relationship with God must get to know His name & what that name means.
Jehovah/ Yahweh - He who causes to become

Yes God has a Name his name is Jehovah(Psalm83:18)Although it has been removed from the newer Bibles.But you are righta title is not a name all of us have names and we even give names to our pets surelythe Creator of the Awesome universe deserves to have a name and for it to be used and known, this is what God wants his name to be known and used therefore in the Lords prayer :"Let your name be sanctifiedwhen Jesus modeled that prayer to his desciples the first thing he mentioned in it was the sanctification of God's name, because he knew, that this is part of God's purpose, to have his name Jehovah made known.

It's amazing to me how many dorks there are out there. Look at some of the answers you have already gotten. I am sorry for that.
OK, it is known that God has many names. You can go through many religions and they all have their specific name for God. Even Christianity, Father, Jehovah, Heavenly Father, Prince of peace, Almighty God, etc. It's like calling your daughter, 'Princess' or 'My little angel' as well as 'Peanut' and 'Half Pint'. (Too cute) :P The way I see it, as far as Christianity goes, these names are like nicknames. (Some are the same as other religions use)
God has one name though, GOD. The name God is not like 'Dog' , 'Cat', 'Horse', 'Bird'. All these things are a species. God is not a species. He is the one and only. You can say in bible times even, many people worshiped many gods. He is THE God, one and only REAL god.
The guy down the street, his name might be, William Michael Jones. He is THE William Michael Jones. (Granted, in this big world there are more then one with that name, but you know what I mean. I'm sure) He has his own finger prints, his own traits, things that are HIM.
Therefore, Gods name is GOD.

It was said that MacGregger Mathers (Grand Master of the Golden Dawn) knew how to pronounce God's name. However, the ancient Jews refrained from saying it and exchanged it with "Adonai" or "Lord". That aside, God has actually four names called the "Tetragrammaton" consisting of four consonants of Yod, He, Vaw, He (YHWH) pronounced as "Yahweh"

The only evidence we have of His name are 4 letters:
In English, they would be ......YHWH.
The vowels to be placed between those consonants are not precisely known.
Many accept the term YaH-WeH.
It is quite close to the original.
A more common usage is the name Jehovah.
If God has done nothing to enable us to know more precisely, we can conclude He is content with Yaw-Weh, or Jehovah.

The scriptures of Hinduism can give some mystical answers.
Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"
God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.
In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.
Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.
That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.
This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

There is only ONE true God.
Also, God goes by many different names, at a Christian festival working with children, we came up with a list of 75 different names for God according to the Bible!
