Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

What is the name above all names?
The name above ALL names is the Father's---Jehovah. He is the Most High, Psalm 83:18, KJV. Peter quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) at Acts 2:21. The Hebrew Scripture that he quoted is Joel 2:32.

Peter said: "It shall be, everyone---whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved." (Acts 2:21) (Young's Literal Translation)

He quoted from Joel 2:32: "Everyone who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered." (Young's Literal Translation; the American Standard Bible)

Jesus' name is above any person under heaven. Jehovah's name is above every name in heaven and on Earth. Jesus' name is specifically compared to the names of men. Jehovah's name is higher than all names. Indeed, the scripture you quoted from Philippians 2:9 shows that everything Jesus did was for Jehovah's glory (God the Father). He himself would say that God's name is the most important. (John 17:6,26)

So in short Bible is false according to you. Jesus does not have the name above all names. Even worse his name blocks/hides/obscures the name of God.
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

Suppose there was a contest to win a million dollars and all you had to do was call a number and say the name of YHWH.

Now imagine that, you call out to YHWH and win a million dollars. AND this isn't even hidden, there is a book, you can call out that number anytime.

Now suppose someone hid that name and added words to the book and said now instead of YHWH you use my name Jesus.

Would it work when you call the number and get a million dollars or would the voice say 'Thanks for calling the win a million hot line sorry that name is incorrect.'

I am showing you the scriptures. It is not "according to me." Peter quoted Joel where the name of God (the Tetragrammaton, YHWH) appears. That is not my opinion.

Perhaps no one has the pronunciation of God's name correct, but the important thing is that people use His name, even if they say the four letters of the Tetragrammaton--YHWH--"Yohd-Heh-Waw-Heh. "Jehovah" has been particularly popular since the King James Version translated YHWH as "Jehovah" in 1611. There are MANY ways that people around the world pronounce His name, depending on what society or culture they happen to be associated with.
He is alright with that.
