Jocular ones are welcome too (and no doubt inevitable), but I'm looking more for "sensible" ones. Some examples:

Unmoved Mover
Great Universal Mind
Undifferentiated Aesthetic Continuum
Ground Of Being

If you're talking specifically about the Jewish deity, I generally use "Yahweh". As that is the name ascribed to him in Jewish mythology. If you're speaking of a more general deity, I tend to use "RNG". This being the acronym for the "Random Number God".

Why "number"?

Ahem, HaShem.

Gesundheit.

Or, if you prefer: "Yahweh bless you."
