God's name is (or includes) his intentions, principles, plan of action, loving nature, etc. It is how he loves us. It is his reputation and what he has done on the earth. It is his holy standard to which he adheres.
Perhaps we can say that people's names in general are the principia by which they intend to act and their function in manifesting Gods kingdom on earth.
Perhaps we can go farther to say that people's identity, what they are made out of, their souls, consist of these principia. Things like righteousness, justice, holiness, devotion, God-centeredness, etc (which are all facets of one idea) are the building blocks of the soul. From this central identity comes behavioral manifestations like the fruits of the spirit and their negative counterparts.
This is by no means an in-depth treatment of names or souls, just something I wrote in my notebook recently.
