I AM WHO I AM! That is his name, "Before Abraham was, I AM!".
God is pretty clear when he speaks, yup! He will not let his people doubt him. He has made promises and he chooses to fulfil them to bring glory to himself. He chooses to tie himself down to demonstrate his perfection and his awesomeness and to come out more glorious out of every situation. His names are elements of his character and each one is fundamentally and infinitely true about him.
God is infinite, therefore we cannot take "infinite" out of any attribute of God's. Because of that it is also impossible to understand and know God fully as we are here, since we are finite beings, unlike him.
God is eternal. That means He lives outside of time, there was never a time when God was not and there will never be a moment when God will cease to be! He is not subject to time, He has no age, He sees time as a whole thing, but He chooses to act within time, for his own glory. How awesome will it be when time ends and Jesus will come down form heaven and judge the living and the dead!
God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent, which means, everywhere, all-knowing and all-powerful. Yet, He cannot do anything, because He cannot act outside of His perfection.
In the names which are God's in the Bible is contained His infinite character...
Yahweh is His name. That is what "I AM WHO I AM" means.
The names given Him are the following:
Yahweh Jireh = The Lord will Provide
Yahweh Rapha = The Lord heals
Yahweh Nissi = The Lord is my Banner
Yahweh Shalom = The Lord is Peace
Yahweh Tsidikeinu = The Lord is our Righteousness
And he is infinitely all of those!...
