Names of children should be chosen according to the spiritual tradition of the parents so as to evoke the memory of the Eternal.
Typical names are epithets of God, saints, senses, planets and good human incarnations. Some traditions
don't name after God. This is a dvaita view, which is fine because the intent is to not grow the ego.
Yet why
prevent final communion? The inaccessibility of God is ignorance that sustains a sense of separateness.
On the other hand
does God need to declare "I am God"?
Do we go around saying "I am a man" or "I am a woman"?
Therefore, there is no confusion.
Names and speech belong to the relative plane. The ego gives rise to the world and the concept of God.
Omnipresence and omnipotence preclude speech.
Again, there is no confusion.
