One often hears the phrase "in God’s name" or "in the name of God" used in everyday conversation. It has just occurred to me that I’ve never heard God’s name. Does God have a name? The gods of other religions have names. Thor is the name of a Norse god, Odin is another. The god of Judaism is Yahweh. And, of course, Jehovah’s Witnesses call their god Jehovah. Christians call their god God. Excuse me for saying, but the generic name "God" seems pretty lame and uncreative. Does the Christian god not have a proper name? If not, why not? And if he does have a name, what is it? It could be something simple like Bill, Bob, John or Mike. Maybe his name would be a little more formal sounding: Daniel, Richard, Samuel or Victor. Or perhaps it would be something more cosmopolitan like Alfonso, Gaston or Wilhelm. But then again, it could be that my speculation is all for naught. Maybe the real reason he doesn't have a name is because he doesn't exist.
