This is an interesting question. If there is a God, and that being, as in the Bible, created the universe (the traditional position of Jews and Christians), He would be outside of time and space. Sound and spoken language are dependent on mouths, vocal chords and air to vibrate. If God has a proper name, it exists outside creation and so is not limited to alphabets or pronounciation. Perhaps God has many proper names, perhaps none.

From a biblical perspective:

What is generally called God's name by Jews and Christians is found where Moses asks who to say is sending him and God reponds with something that translates approximately "tell them I AM sent you" and the "I AM" is what Moses records in Hebrew as the tetragrammaton. Most agree this is some form of the Hebrew verb of being.

There is honest disagreement about whether this word should be translated (meaning conversion) or transliterated (phonetic conversion) into different languages. If God meant His name is a verb of being, it should be translated. If it really meant "I want to be called something that sounds like a Hebrew verb" then it should be transliterated. The word really can't be transliterated because the Jews, for centuries, refused to pronounce it for fear of violating the command not to take God's name in vain and the original gives no certain direction as to what vowel sounds should be used, so the original pronounciation is lost. (All ancient Hebrew writing omitted vowels, apparently since everybody knew how the words were pronounced and they did not need them.) There are competing theories about how it might have been pronounced, none is universally accepted.

I am certain that either position - translation or transliteration - can be either reverent or irreverent depending on the attitude of the user.

God's name is Jehovah. In most Bibles his name has been taken out and replaced with titles such as 'Lord'.
While there is nothing wrong with using 'Lord' in worship, the Bible indicates that worshippers should call on his name Jehovah and pray only to him through Jesus Christ name. People who speak English would call him Jehovah. It is also translated into many other languages. Psalm 83:18 in some Bibles uses the name Jehovah. Today many people do not like using this name. They believe that Jesus is God so they do not use the name Jehovah. Or they just say Lord or God. If you wanted to have a personal relationship with someone would you want them to call you man or woman all the time? Do you think they would like it if you didn't use their name? We should use God's name Jehovah in worship.

In the original Hebrew text, God's name appears nearly 7,000 times as four consonants: יהוה. These consonants are transliterated YHWH and are known as the Tetragrammaton. In English, 'Jehovah' is a rendering of God's name that has been recognized for centuries.

Unfortunately, many Bibles do not use God's Name 'Jehovah' where it rightfully belongs in the Hebrew text. This is because at some point in the past a superstitious idea arose among the Jews that it was wrong even to pronounce the divine name. Evidently, later copyists kept to following the tradition of eliminating the distinctive name of God by replacing it with TITLES like Ky´ri·os and The·os´ ("LORD" and "GOD"). Because of the superstitions and traditions (things which Jesus condemned -Mt. 15:1-9) concerning the Divine Name, God's name was generally removed from the texts altogether.

However, some Bibles retain the Divine Name in some places and a prime example of finding God's Name 'Jehovah' in the King James Bible is at Psalms 83:18. The other three instances the name "Jehovah" is used in the King James Bible are at Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 12:2 and Isaiah 26:4.

Exd 3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? what shall I say unto them? 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

God tells Moses His name is I AM because God simply is; there was never a time when He did not exist, or a time when He will cease to exist.

  * The word Lord, when spelled with capital letters, stands for the divine name, YHWH, which is here connected with the verb hayah, "to be" in verse 14.

  by Gone! on January 25th, 2012
- Glad to know that you don't mind using Jehovah or Yahweh.
  Although "ego eimi" can be translated as something like "I was", "I am", or "I will be", as I don't think that koine Greek always has a different word for different tenses.
  
  The following is from the trinity brochure:
  “I Am”
  AT JOHN 8:58 a number of translations, for instance The Jerusalem Bible, have Jesus saying: “Before Abraham ever was, I Am.” Was Jesus there teaching, as Trinitarians assert, that he was known by the title “I Am”? And, as they claim, does this mean that he was Jehovah of the Hebrew Scriptures, since the King James Version at Exodus 3:14 states: “God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM”?
  At Exodus 3:14 (KJ) the phrase “I AM” is used as a title for God to indicate that he really existed and would do what he promised. The Pentateuch and Haftorahs, edited by Dr. J. H. Hertz, says of the phrase: “To the Israelites in bondage, the meaning would be, ‘Although He has not yet displayed His power towards you, He will do so; He is eternal and will certainly redeem you.’ Most moderns follow Rashi [a French Bible and Talmud commentator] in rendering [Exodus 3:14] ‘I will be what I will be.’”
  The expression at John 8:58 is quite different from the one used at Exodus 3:14. Jesus did not use it as a name or a title but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other Bible versions render John 8:58:
  1869: “From before Abraham was, I have been.” The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes.
  1935: “I existed before Abraham was born!” The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed.
  1965: “Before Abraham was born, I was already the one that I am.” Das Neue Testament, by Jörg Zink.
  1981: “I was alive before Abraham was born!” The Simple English Bible.
  1984: “Before Abraham came into existence, I have been.” New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.
  Thus, the real thought of the Greek used here is that God’s created “firstborn,” Jesus, had existed long before Abraham was born.—Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30; Revelation 3:14.
  Again, the context shows this to be the correct understanding. This time the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to “have seen Abraham” although, as they said, he was not yet 50 years old. (Verse 57) Jesus’ natural response was to tell the truth about his age. So he naturally told them that he “was alive before Abraham was born!”—The Simple English Bible.

I understand that the letters YHWH represent the consonants of the Hebrew word for "I am" (see Exodus 3:13-14), which is how God replied to Moses when he asked Him His name. This "name" was regarded as ineffable and rather than speak it aloud the Jews would use the word Adonai, which equates broadly to the English word Lord. In the written scriptures vowels would (by the time the Scriptures began to be translated into English) be indicated by superscipt symbols, and I think the vowel symbols for Adonai were added to the tetagrammation to indicate that that word was to be used in place of the sacred word when the scriptures were read aloud. The combination of the consonants YHWH with the vowel sounds of Adonai gave rise to the portmanteau word Jehovah when the Hebrew scriptures were translated into English in the 16th and 17th centuries. Modern translations use either Lord or Yahweh.

Muslims believe that Allah (the Arabic word for God; the same word that is used by Arab Christians) has 99 names. Some of them are mentioned in the Quran, and the others in Prophetic narrations. It is also believed that He has other names, but only He Knows them. Muslims do not believe that any of God's prophets can be called the lord, His son,etc. That he has no partners, no children, and no parents.

  Of course, we have differences in our belief of God and How we worship Him. Muslims do not associates partners, children or parents to Him. We also differ in our beliefs about Jesus (peace be upon him.
  
  But we all agree that there is only One Creator, so in that sense whether we say God or Allah, the reference is the same. So like I said, if you still have doubt about Allah being the arabic word or name for God, ask an arabic speaking xtian.

The name Jesus (Gr., I‧e‧sous′) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.”

Jehovah is the personal name of the only true God.
His own self-designation.
Jehovah is the Creator and, rightfully, the Sovereign Ruler of the universe.

“Jehovah” is translated from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, ,יהוה which means “He Causes to Become.” These four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH or YHWH.

  That's for clearing that up.

- Even if it is not in the bible, it is the name of "your" God. The name of our lord is a personal thing. I feel whatever comforts and helps you know him intimately is appropriate.

- I see that someone already pointed out that Triune God is not in the Bible. Most of the other names in your list are titles or even the name of God's Son.

Of course. It depends on the religious traditions and different cultures or regions, for example:
Allah: Arabic
Yahweh: Hebrew
Deus: Latin etc.

- If I remember correctly, I believe that you are agnostic in relation to rather or not there is a God but not sure if you are unsure about the Bible or are convinced that the Bible is definitely not the word of God if there is one. As you likely know, no one knows exactly how God’s name was originally pronounced in ancient Hebrew. Some believe that it was likely Yahweh or something like Yehoway. In English it is generally translated as Jehovah or else just replaced with a title like LORD or GOD in many popular Bibles.

  You can see the difference when comparing some translations:
  Psalms 110:1 (KJV) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
  Psalms 110:1 (Young's Literal) A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

- Thank you - the question I answered must have been merged with this one, because I can't imagine I would have answered this one. The way I started with 'Honestly' makes me suspect the original question also started with that word and seemed to me to be somewhat impolite.

  I know what you mean about merging questions. Check this out, if you look at the newer answers at the bottom starting with the one [by shunyata on September 2nd, 2011] such as by Iwnit and myself, you can tell that the question that we answered was something about accurate translations:

  It was merged with "Do you have to be religious to go to heaven?"

God's name is "Yahweh"(pronounced ya-way), it means "I am who am", or "I am who I am", one of those two things. I learned this in religion class(I'm catholic". Its what people used to call him, I think, it might be someone else but I am 95% sure that's God's true name. I don't think he has one true name around the world, different religions probably call him different things, but that's what he's called in the catholic religion. If he isn't, then my catholic teachers taught our classes wrong...

God has many names that He gave Himself. He , when asked who He was by men told them to call Him many things, some of them are:

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Exodus 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Malachi 1:14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

And then the name Jesus was given Him by Joseph, at the direction of an angel of the Lord. That tells me the angel got it from God.

Matthew 1:20-21 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
