Actually, Yahweh will work for the Christian Deity, as well as "Jesus" (except for JWs since they are rather non-trinitarian).
English "God" works pretty well, too. In the ancient near East there was a deity named "El" but the word "el" was also a common noun (masc.) for "god" and could be formed in the plural. It also had feminine form for the ladies. "El" is also the root behind "Elohim", (actually a grammatically plural form) that is used as the name of the biblical god in very many parts of the Old Testament. Our English use of god as both a common and proper noun is oddly very comparable to the ancient semitic uses.
But I still prefer "Nigel". "Tinkerbob" might be better, though.
How about "Nigel"? Actually,
