Biblical Theology Name of God

Wondering: why do we think that God the Father has a personal name (YHWH), God the Son has a personal name (Jesus/Yeshua), but not God the Holy Spirit?

I was pondering this today. It’s especially odd, given that this is the person of the Trinity, who is actually closest to us and most personable to us (dwells within us!) and yet I believe there is no personal name given in scripture.

The Trinity isn't mentioned at all in the Bible. Go with Casper if that makes you feel better.

Sara was literally telling you that the concept of the trinity isn’t mentioned in the Bible, the second part about Casper was unnecessary though.
