Hi Kitt,

What Ray is stating and what I am in agreement with is there really isn't any strict guideline as to what we call our Lord and our God as long as it is done in reverence, looking at the Hebrew word translated "name" is actually the honor, authority and character that is to be praised not constenants, vowels (or lack of) and words.

With that being said there is nothing wrong with using a name we feel comfortable with and that shows the proper recognition of His sovereignty. It is what is in our hearts that matter as we call to Him not what passes through our mouths, pens or keyboards.

Psa 113:1  Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name8034 of the LORD.

H8034

שׁם
shêm
shame
A primitive word (perhaps rather from H7760 through the idea of definite and conspicuous position; compare H8064); an appellation, as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication honor, authority, character: -  + base, [in-] fame [-ous], name (-d), renown, report.

Peace,

Joe
