What is his name, and what is his son's name?

That verse has an interesting but puzzling context:
Pro 30:4 Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!
Pro 30:5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Pro 30:6 Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.

It's hard for me to understand what the writer of this proverb is driving at in verse 4. Of course, the Scriptures give names to the Persons of the Trinity: Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is called Immanuel, Christ or Messiah, and Lord. Why do you have to have more names than the Bible gives them, or do you?
I want not to have more names, but to know and glorify the true and original names as Our Creator wants us to. In the Bible, the Father has the name "Yahweh" which was replaced by "the LORD". You can find it out doing a simple investigation. The original name of the Messiah is Yahshua (some argue it is Yeshua), but not Jesus. There are several Bibles printed using these correct original names (e.g., Holy Name Bible). The Bible repeats the importance of knowing and using both names.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
