I don't think he has a "real" name persay. He's believe to be the creator of all and has always been who he was so there is no need for a "real" name other than God. Unlike his son Jesus, he was on earth as a man so therefore he was given a name. I'm sure a devote Christian could do a better job of explaining this.

He does have a real name. He revealed it to Moses
on Mount Sainai when he talked to Moses through the burning bush. The Jews wrote it as YHWH... but we translated it to "YAHWEH", which is a verb form "To Be"... Another form of his name is "I Am". His name could also be translated to "Adonai".

I would like to note that the name Yahweh is the translation by the Greeks and was actually incorrect. They translated it to that form since Yahweh means something in Greek. Couldn't be arsed to remember what but whatever. The actual vowels that come between YHWH are unknown seeing as the name is taboo in Judaism and is not spoken under any circumstance. Therefore the true pronunciation will never be known since no one ever spoke it out loud. Also, YHWh is technically only the name of the Jewish god. The actual god of the Christian religions is merely referred to as the almighty god or something to that respect in hopes of putting him above all other gods and deities.

"I am that I am" or something like that. He is THE God to that religion/s, the only one, and is everywhere and in everything, so if they give Him a name, it specifies Him, when He isn't specific, but everything and everywhere. He doesn't NEED a name. He is who He is.
I'm not a christian, but I learned a lot when I went to bible camp and youth group (forced by my g-ma) and went to a private christain school for a year (also by my G-ma). During the story of Moses, they ask and question Him (and about his name, since the Egyptians had named their gods) while they're out in the desert, and it is explained in that way that I told you there. |

"I am what I am, and what I am needs no excuses" kinda thing?
I suppose in that sense naming "God" would be like naming the Universe - it's just not needed because name and function are the same thing. Some people could view that as pretentious. |

He doesn't really need a name... but God is what most people call him.
Yaweh, God, and Allah (sp?) are all the same being, and there's not really anything else that's specific religion-wise, unless you count Jesus as well.

would not be known because in the Jewish form of writing, God's name is written as YHWH. Since their writing does not have vowels, the vowels, "a" and the "e" were chosen and fitted into YHWH to make YAHWEH.
