Yahweh means "All within the all" so it's more a description than a name. Christians tend to prefer the Father, Son and Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity with extra special emphasis on Jesus so that's probably why the OT/ancient Jewish description of God will often be sidelined.

Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
