I would venture to say maybe "Am." There is a point in the bible where He says that He is simply "I am."
Technically that passage is "I am who am", in response to Moses questioning the identity of the burning bush.

That said, there really isn't an English translation for what's actually said. If memory serves, the closest English has to the original Hebrew word is "everything". In essence, that passage is God telling Moses "I am all that is, has been and shall be". There's a whole bunch of connotation to it that simply doesn't come across in English, but that's the closest we're going to get.

First he was "Lonelyway"

Seeking comfort, he created man, thus, "Creatorway"

but after realizing this is not the right path for him, he dicided to become a hairdresser, thus he became "Barberway" and it was great.

Being still in his adolesent years; angry at mom and dad, he left home and soon became "Jammingway"

But after kissing one too many girls, he contracted AIDs, thus becoming "Herpesway" and it was great.

One eventful evening, man created 'science', thus becoming "Redundantway" and it was not great.

Did ancient Hebrew naming conventions even include having last names?

If they don't, where did "Christ" come in for Jesus Christ's name? No one ever refers to Mary and Joseph as Mr. and Mrs. Christ.

Sometimes a person is so powerful, so important, so defining that they don't need a last name. We call this person Cher.

As for God, his last name is Godlington. And did you know his first name was actually Godfried, God is just his nickname.
The (thread) Creator approves of this comment. Do not forget about the mighty-one's nephew, Prince

I just happen to know that God's full name is God "skeeball" Morissette

Christ is simply Greek for "the messiahs" it was a title not a name.
