No, the name of G-d is a separate instance
Shoshanna
Ultimately the following view does not make logical sense:
Please keep in mind that no one knows how to pronounce that name, and no one
was allowed to pronounce that name except for one person, in one place, once
a year.
I gather then that all those ancient Jews with theophoric names couldn't even
say their own names -- or at least knowingly got them wrong every time they
said them. And of course all the Netanyahus etc of the modern world are
accomplices to the fact.
