You said that in the first place and I was surprised nobody called you on it. "God" and "Lord" are of course names, nouns used as ("personal") identifiers.
What do you think a name is? Is it not a term by which someone or something is referred to, identified, addressed, etc.?
Names can be both personal identifiers specifically identifying a person, or used as identifiers of personal attributes, and frequently find both of those used together in scripture. YHWH, a personal identifier, is frequently coupled with Elohiym, an personal identifier of an attribute. There are many 'Elohiyms' in the bible, Moses was even identified as one (Exodus 7:1). In that case, Moses would be the name which was identifying a person and elohiym was indicating a personal attribute. Moses' name was not elohiym, Moses' name was Moses.
To simplifiy:
Moses (his personal name) was an elohiym (an identifier of a personal attribute but not Moses' personal name).
YHWH (His personal name) was an Elohiym (an identifier of a personal attribute but not YHVH's personal name.)
