This is a really strange question but, my father in law just came back from belguim with a magazine that was full of diamonds of every shape and color that I can think of. One of the diamonds was made by an arab that he put the amount of cuts into the diamond as the amount of names that allah has.
It got me thinking they have at least what 1000 names to their god but I don't even know how many names Hashem has. So anyone know?!?!? We were debating on it and came up with many dead ends.

part of the trouble is that we use euphemisms, since we avoid saying His name, and those "kinuyyim" eventually become equivalent to His name, too.

(yes, I know Hashem's name is written in that url) |
not a problem of shaimos b/c it isn't a written word unless you print it out. the data on the computer are in the form of an array of 0's and 1's, not letters.

If Hashem has so many names, why is it allowed to say his name in vain? Like for example in that website it is written that shalom, adon olam, and many more that I can't even remember why are we allowed to say those names like it is nothing.

those aren't really "names", they are "kinuyyim" which are for lack of a better term "nicknames". we have to have some way to refer to Him, so we use His attributes, like HoRachamon, the merciful, Ribbono Shel Olom, Master of the Universe, Kol Yochol, the Omnipotent, and so on.
