The Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, vav, hei". These four letters are referred to as the tetragrammaton and are a contraction of the Hebrew words for, "was, is, and will be". His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation.
In the Tanach (Jewish Bible), there are 72 different 'names' used for The Creator, these aren't actual names though, they're descriptions of Him that are contextual. In daily conversation, most Jews use the name 'HaShem' which literally translates to 'The Name' in reference to His true name.

Why would non christian Jews celebrate the Passover?
First, there's no such thing as a "Christian Jew". As the teachings of Christianity directly oppose those of Judaism, following the teachings of the two religions is impossible. Second, Passover is a Jewish holiday that remembers both the Israelites accepting HaShem (The Creator) and HaShem redeeming the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to lead them to the promised land. HaShem specifies that every generation of Jews are to observe the holiday of Passover in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). If, by "Christian Jews" the questioner is referring to Jews who have converted to Christianity, according to the teachings of Judaism, any Jew who converts to another religion has cut themselves off from the Jewish Nation and HaShem. As a result, they would not legitimately be able to participate in Jewish religious observances unless they were to repent and return to Judaism.
