ABBA was a very popular pop band from Sweden, I know it is a mere coincidence that their name is also a name of God in the Aramaic Language but it is a little bit interesting.

God. When I talk to Him I say God. He and I are tight like that. He knows my name and calls me his own. Isn't that a song?

I voted "something else" because God has no preference---and neither should I. He has a multitude of names, and lives up to every one of them. Father, and Daddy or Abba is what I like to call Him, though, because as we have earthly fathers that are not perfect, God is that perfect Father, and that intimacy with Him is what He desires....a father-child relationship.

Ultimately as long as it's not a word thrown in as a marginally more spiritual version of "er, ah" it doesn't really matter. If it's something used as little more than a padder it still doesn't matter.

I like this cartoon, that shows what it would be like if we talk to people the way some people talk to God:

I voted Lord God because sometimes it's Lord and sometimes it's God but I don't think I really put the two together and call him Lord God so maybe I shouldn't have voted that way?

I like Yahweh, but I almost never use it, I always think Jesus means Yahweh saves. In Dutch they call a Jehovah's witness a Jehovah, so that's why I like Yahweh better.

The name in which Christians are baptised is the name of The Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit what do you think that name might be?
