CloseYay for getting advice from somebody who found out this game exists about 3 minutes ago.
To sidestep the issue entirely, change the name. IMO just not to any of the examples you gave but that's just my preference.
Just as an aside, I think you shouldn't change God Nakaishi at all. You're clearly harkening back to the anime mecha space operas and that's a super common way to name the advanced version. From what I see, it denotes power, not specifically religion. We don't campaign to change God Mode to something "less offensive." You shouldn't have to change your God Nakaishi
If it's a huge problem, since there's a heavy Japanese feel to it already you can just go with Shin Nakaishi, Nakaishi Zero or Cho Nakaishi. Other possibilities I like are a Nakaishi Neos, Brave Nakaishi and Nakaishi Emerge.
Apart from the Galax mineral, are there any other traits or themes your mecha use? For one of my very old and failed projects my mecha were music-influenced so their upgraded versions used Italian musical terms of increasing emphasis... and then Raxephon came out and I felt validated:)
So yeah, you don't need to change anything but if you do, you can have much more impact by beng unique in your renaming.

The number one reason I posted this was to get opinions! In that respect, thanks for sharing!
I like some of the suggestions you're putting forth. I'm pretty partial to Nakaishi Zero or, as a variant on a suggestion, Neo Nakaishi. However, as we both mention, I might be over-worrying about this as well!

From the perspective of someone who isn't exactly religious: When reading the word "God" in a game without any explicit ties to a religious deity, the first terms that typically come to mind are variations of, "Overlord," "Invincible," and "all-powerful." If that is your intent, then I think you should keep the name as it is.
From the description of your game, the only information I see about the God Nakaishi is that it's an extremely powerful suit, not something that has any properties of a almighty being. The lack of information could lead readers looking at your game at a glance to draw religious overtones from the name of the suit.
Just my thoughts.

I think that have might been exactly the case: I linked this game to a thread, a user gave the description a cursory look, and presumed religious overtones.

With that name and including Gears, I'd be expecting religious symbolism and stuff from this game, kinda like Xenogears/Xenosaga lol
I think Dragnfly's ideas were cool too

D'awwwwww thanks. I really love mecha. Especially Real Robot style.

I'm still not 100% sure why your last post had a white background, Dragnfly, but, it wasn't intentional! I've since fiddled with the CSS to make it a black background.
A thousand apologies! I'm still relatively new at CSS.

I dunno. .CSS is so intimidating and strange to me that when it comes time for me to make a gamepage I'm just going to hire somebody. When I learned web design it was all basic HTML. Image maps, tables and frames yo. Flash was brand new. So .CSS blows my mind.
I can get around the problem by just changing my text to match whatever hair colour the last character to kill me in a game had.
