If you are reffering to the Judeo-Christian god, there are many names. Perhaps the oldest name was 'Yahweh'. Yahweh ceased to be pronounced in early post-biblical times, and has been replaced with the word 'Adonai', meaning Lord. Another early name for the Judeo-Christian god was the tetragrammaton; 'YHWH' or 'JHVH'. It is believed by many scholars that this is the derivative form of 'Yehowah' or more commonly; 'Jehovah'.

The tetragrammaton is part of the Seven names of God; the tetragrammaton, El, Elohim, Eloah, Elohai, El Shaddai, and Tzevaot. The seven names of God, once written, "cannot be erased because of their holliness."

There are a lot of other names in the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh), that I haven't mentioned here.

In Christianity he is usually called simply 'God' or 'Lord', although, by extention, he is also Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

In Islam, he is reffered to as 'Allah'. Unlike Christianity, Islam puts heavy emphasis on Allah being strictly singular. "He is unique (wahid) and inherently one (ahad), all-merciful and omnipotent." This is very different from Christianity's Holy Trinity. There are, according to the Qur'an, 99 names of God (al-asma al-husna lit. meaning: "the best names"). Each of the 99 names of God evoke a distinct characteristic of God. The most famous of these names are 'Al-Rahman' ("the Most Gracious") and 'Al-Rahim' ("the Most Mercifull").

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (mormonism) believe "God" means 'Elohim' (the Father) and "Godhead" means a council of three distinct gods; Elohim (the Father), Jehovah (the Son, or Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. In Mormonism, the Father and the Son have perfected, material bodies, while the Holy Spirit is a spirit and does not have a body. This is different from Christianity's Trinity, in that Mormons believe the three persons to be physically separate beings, but united in will and purpose.

In Bahá'í faith, God is a formless, personal, inaccessible, omniscient, omnipresent, imperishable and almighty God who is the creator of all things in the universe. They believe the existance of God and the universe is eternal, without a beginning or and end.

They believe in the unity of mankind. They believe that all faith is derived from one entity, and that all prophets, from all religions are 'divine messengers'. These include many Abrahamic figures, Dharmic once, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, and others.

Bahá'í faith rejects all pantheistic, anthropomorphic, and incarnationist beliefs in God.

There are an infinite number of Hindu gods and goddesses, so listing all of them would be, literally, impossible.
