Would YHWH allow his name to be associated with a

For a discussion of the identification of Y-HWH with Canaanite 'El, see __Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic: Essays in the History of the Religion of Israel__ by Frank Moore Cross, especially Part I:  The Religion of Canaan and the G-d of Israel:
Chap. 1: The G-d of the Fathers
Chap. 2:  'El and the G-d of the Fathers
Chap. 3:  Y-hweh and 'El

In Chapter 7 (Y-hweh and Ba`l), he discusses similarities in attributes of Y-HWH and Ba`al despite the fact that Y-HWH was never identified with Ba`al.
