Sites that have lists of alleged "names" of God

Links below contain list of "names" being attributed to the God of Abraham. As one can see, many of the names listed are not actually names or "titles" of God. Despite what some of the sites may claim, however, there is only one "Holy Name" spoken of in the Bible.* I am discussing many of these "names" on this blog site, although I may never get around to discussing all of them. If you have a "name" in particular that you would like for me discuss, please leave a comment below.

Adam - Is God referred as "Adam" - the "Last Adam"? -- 1 Corinthians 15:45

At least one site claims that God is spoken of as the "last Adam" in 1 Corinthians 15:45. 1 Corinthians 15:45 reads:
So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. - (1 Corinthians 15:45, World English)
This does speak, not of God, but rather of Jesus, the Son of God. Any thought that God Himself is being spoken of as "the last Adam" depends on adding to the Bible that Jesus, himself, is the "only true God", which is actually contrary to what Jesus himself stated (John 17:1,3), as well as what Paul wrote. -- 1 Corinthians 8:6.

Actually, the scripture does not present "The last Adam" as being a proper name of either Jesus or the God and Father of Jesus. At most one can say that it is descriptive title, and then, based on this, one could say that it is a descriptive name of Jesus, as Jesus is now exalted far above all dominions, including that of the angels.

However, in the Bible, Jesus is never presented as being the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. One has to imagine, assume such an idea beyond what any scripture presents. Additionally, one has formulate assumptions that have to added to, and read into, the scriptures in order to "see" this idea in any scripture that is presented.

As far as God being given any such name as "the last Adam", the Bible never speaks of such, not in 1 Corinthians 15:45, nor anywhere else.
