In Judaism, YHWH is the name of God, which as you said should not be spoken. And in Christianity, God the Father = YHWH, God the Son = YHWH, God the Spirit =YHWH, because even though Father, Son and Spirit are three, they are also one.

Every branch of Christianity probably interprets the Trinity in a slightly different (possibly very different) way. Some don't believe in a trinitarian God at all. Most people would still say they are still all Christian. The above is your interpretation, but it's not the only one.
