"God" seems so...eh. If Giselle was named..."Sally," I think that would be a bit boring. Anyone got a sweet name for God (and don't say Yahweh). Something like "Voltron, Overload of the Universe."

I followed the advice of the first poster and He said he likes "Waldo" because he's hard to find but is always there.
To the other contributors: "B-b" made me laugh, I know the hundreds of other names given him in Arabic and throughout the Bible but I was shooting for something...else, "Big Guy" is good -- but what if he's a she?, and I did mean "Overlord," not "overload."
And no, I don't think His name is "Jesus." Ever heard of the FATHER, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? Think of the logical inconsistency: God sent his only son, Jesus, to die on the cross. Well, that implies two different people. And God can't kill himself -- he's immortal. If he could, he wouldn't be god. I know many churches espouse this point of view that "Jesus" is "God," but how can that possibly be? Anyone wanna explain that to me or am I right? Perhaps they share in equal power, reign equally in heaven or whatever, but they must be distinct entities. BUT who the hell am I to tell Waldo his business?

Nothing wrong with the name He has.
He is the Great I AM.

If YAWEH is the correct answer then why not say Yahweh? Moses asked a direct question "whom shall I tell the people sent me, what is your name, GOD told Moses to tell the people "I AM" The translation is properly given as "Yhwh" phonetically pronounced "Yah weh". (Some Hebrew and Arabic languages are without vowels)
By the way, You suggested "Voltron, Overload of the Universe.: could you have possibly meant "Over Lord)?

"God" isn't even a proper name actually, it's more what he is. Kind of like "man" or "woman"; that is what we are not what we are known by. Yahweh, or something close to that pronunciation, is what the scriptures say his actual name is. The KJV only has it listed 4 times I believe, but many other translations have more.
Anyway, he would probably prefer even "Voltron" because at least that's a proper name.

Allah
The Arabic pronoun Al is used to take everything into th superlative sense, and illa means one worthy of worship. So Allah means "The supreme being and th only one worthy of worship."

My Father. That's what I call him, or the Great Creator, or the Big Guy.

Bob.
I like the simplicity of 'Bob'
It also has three letters.
Ooops, perhaps I should have typed it 'B-b'
