Of your whole list only YHWH is God's name
We pronounce it in English as Jehovah.
In Hebrew it is Yahweh.
God, El, Elohim, etc are titles and not names.
Jehovah Elohim (Jehovah God)
Jehovah Shalom (Jehovah is Peace)
are not different names, but are extensions of the only Name.
Ex 3:15 tells us that Yahweh (Jehovah) is God's name to time memorial.
If I was to discribe
Bob is smart
Bob is wise
Bob is a fast runner
Bob the plumber
Bob the father
Bob the husband
We don't say Bob has three names
We say Bob is very talented
