Isaiah ch1-12 opens one of the prophecies that is a center piece of the Scriptures. Yahweh pleads with His people to return to Him, offering forgiveness of sins if they repent, be willing and obedient. The remnant who would turn back, would find their hope in Emmanuel - God with Us. The names of this one are plentiful in these opening chapters, depicting who Emmanuel would be, born in Bethlehem of Judaea 750 years later.
The following is not a great study, but simply a list of the names of the one who is the Promised One, omitting the frequent use of the LORD in solo (Yahweh):
ch1 - The LORD of hosts - The Holy One of Israel - Mighty One of Israel
ch2 - The Lord - the LORD of Hosts
ch3 - The Lord GOD of Hosts
ch4 - The Branch of the LORD
ch5 - My Beloved - The Holy One of Israel - The God that is Holy - The LORD of hosts
ch6 - the Lord, high and lifted up
ch7 - 8 - Immanuel [God with us]
ch9 - Wonderful Counsellor - the Mighty God - the Father of Eternity - The Prince of Peace
ch10 - The Mighty God - The Holy One
ch11 - The Branch - Root of Jesse
ch12 - the Holy One of Israel
