Are we Sikhs allowed to use any name for God or is that just a misconception spread by people?

Videotaping/pictures are not supposed to be allowed during Amrit Sanchar

Why not?

Are we allowed to watch Amrit Sanchaar live? 

Wouldn't a video recording help better understand what happens ?

as far as this neech can understand

waheguru is the name of kartar/akaal purakh/paarbrahm by which we do remembrance/naam jaap 

all rest are descriptive generic terms, that folks adhering to other theologies use for their own devi devte 

like gopal means lord of the universe, raam means all pervading, hari is the sustainer (one who brings hariali aka life/greenery), kartar is creater, thakur is master, and other terms like sada siv, mahakaal are also used  etc. 

now hindus of different shaiv, vaishnav, brahman matts etc. believe krishna to be gopal, raam chandra ji to be raam, krishna to be hari, sada siv and mahakaal are attributed to mahadev/mahesh/rudra dev, paarbrahm to brahma but naming your child after a Godly quality doesnt exclusively make them an avtar or something, I am sure there are many hari singhs, gopal singhs, raam singhs, bishan singhs, kishan singhs, gobind singhs, that arent so 

same goes for arabic names of God meeaning different things

Personally, I think verbal descriptions help us understand but recording can ruin the state of those who are taking amrit, it can distract the panj piare, and it will overall make the sanchar more ritualistic and showy. Guru Sahib took the panj piare in a separate place (the tent) and we should be free from all distractions when taking amrit
