” It was not “baptizing them in the names and yet there were three “names” given — incomprehensible to us humans who live in a constricted reality compared to God.”

I don’t think one can rely upon the wording of Matt. 28:20,
as a proof of the trinity since “in the name of” refers to “in the name of the Father”, “in the name of the Son”, “in the name of the holy spirit” and therefor would be singular.

Three names? Well, God has a name, Jehovah or Yahweh, Jesus has a name, Jesus, but what is the name of the holy spirit?

And yet the verse does not say "go and baptise in the name of the Father and the name of the Son and ..." but rather "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Spirit" -- the only explicit time the Trinity is mentioned, and yet where the "name" is evidently one.

your statement "Well, God has a name, Jehovah or Yahweh, Jesus has a name, " -- is wrong. Jesus is God.

The triune Godhead is YHWH
