I found a website that lists literally every single reference to God’s name. There are listed over SIX HUNDRED references to His names, more than SEVENTY “I AM’s” and many other indirect references. Seeing how important the act of naming a person or a location is in Biblical history, the names God gives Himself must be the surest indicator of His true character and nature. It must be that who God is will accurately reveal what He will do.
There is not a single name of our God that would portray Him as an merciless “Eternal Torturer” of most of His creation. Or that of “The Great Abandoner of Sinners.” Judgment and fair justice? Yes. But nothing of a forever withdrawal of His love and mercy for most of mankind as we have been taught.

Check out the following websites for exhaustive lists of the names of God:
http://ldolphin.org/names.html
http://www.characterbuildingforfamilies.com/names.html* for all 600+ (in KJV). For about five dollars you can buy your own copy or put their book on your Kindle or you can read them on their website for free. It is an amazing resource for meditation and prayer.
*Note: this is not an endorsement of this website. It just happened to provide a complete list of the names of God.
Just found your site and it is such a great addition to the discussion of ultimate restoration. God is AWESOME how could we expect anything different from a God who bears these names!!
