Christians believe in the one God of Abraham, also revered by Judaism and Islam. The Hebrew tradition represented the name of this god with the tetragram (transliterated from hebrew): YHWH. They further believe that this same deity revealed Himself via incarnation in the person of Jesus Christ, whose name means (roughly translated from several derivations): the annointed savior. The vast majority of Christians also believe in the triune nature of god, meaning that the one God comprises three persona: The Creator, The Sustainer, and The Redeemer traditionally referred to as: the father, the son and the holy ghost. These three persona are collectively called The Holy Trinity.
I assume you mean the Christian God?
His name is Elohim (a plural form of El) suggesting what is later revealed that He is a Tri-unity. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
His name is Jehovah (Yahweh) - the Covenant Keeping God
His name is El Shaddah - the All Sufficient God
He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He wants you to be in Heaven with Him for He loves you. He gave His Son to die for you. If you have an interesting in him read The Bible - especially John's Gospel.

He has many other Names - but I love Him for He first loved me and He saved me from my sins and made me fit for heaven.
Please seek Him - nothing else in the world matters so much.

It would be helpful in answering such a question to specify a particular religion or religious tradition. In the ancient Greek religion, sons of gods were demi-gods. In Christianity, there is officially one son of God known as Jesus Christ, but then, it is also frequently said that we are all God's children. In the Japanese religion of Shintoism, the Emperor is the son of the sun god. There are other examples as well.
Since the Christians initially had the Old Testament scriptures as their 'Bible' and frequently quoted from it in the New Testament, some of the names for God carry over into the New. Most frequently simply the term God is used. Jesus in referring to God calls Him Father. The New Testament in completion of the Old adds the revelation of Jesus Christ as being a name for God, as one of the divine persons in the trinity. The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost (KJV) is also God in the New Testament and fully equal as such with the other three persons.
Other uses are references to God as the 'God of our fathers..' see Acts 3:13 and 5:30 and the 'God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob..' see Acts 3:13 (these are common Old Testament usages) Acts 7:2 refers to Him as the 'God of glory.' In Luke 1:32, 35 and 76 He is referred to as 'the Highest.' Luke 1:68 terms Him 'the Lord God of Israel'.
'Lord', a frequently used Old Testament name for God is applied both to the Father in Luke 2:29 but most frequently by far it is applied to Jesus.
Light - ascribed both to the Father "God is light" and to Jesus "I am the light of the world"
Alpha and Omega, referring to God's timelessness is again ascribed to both Jesus and the Father.
Revelation 1:8 (King James Version)
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:11 (King James Version)
11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Revelation 1:17-18 (King James Version)
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:17 gives us another name for God, which is simultaneously an attribute - 'the Almighty'.
The anonymous source now known as the Yahwist, referred to God as Yahweh (YHWH). This source represented the southern Hebrew kingdom of Judah in early times.
The anonymous source now known as the Elohist, usually referred to God as Elohim. This source represented the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel in early times.
The Priestly source also used the name Elohim, as well as El Shaddai ("God Almighty").
Another early name used for God was Adonai ("Lord").
The name Yahweh is rarely used now, except in German translation, Jehovah, which is used in an English language context by some Christian denominations.
Arguably, El or Elohim, being Hebrew simply for 'God', and Adonai, being the Hebrew name for 'Lord',are the names we continue to use.

Many gods were portrayed with different animal heads, depending upon the situation. The Egyptians did not actually believe that their gods had animal heads; rather, they portrayed them that way as artistic symbolism. This may have been for the benefit of the illiterate.
