Assalamo alikom
If Iasked you who is the best person to tell me your name, you'll definitely reply that the best one to tell us about your name is you yourself!!
It is the same matter with the Name of the Creator. The best one to tell us about the Creator's name is the Creator Himself. The Creator told us in the Holy Qur'an that one of His names is "Allah". So "Allah" is His name. Prophet Muhammad told us that Allah swt. has ninety nine Holy names. We know them all.
180 The most beautiful names belong to Allah. so call on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in his names: for what they do, they will soon be requited. , Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #180
But this does not give us carte blanche alternatives to changing the sacred name of our Elohim. God, Jehovah, or even Allah comes nowhere close to the sacred name of our Mighty one, does it?
