Boruch IS a Shem Hashem
I have never seen this. Do you have a source for this?
And even if it so, it is still not one of the names which we are commanded to not use in vain (such as, for example the word “Shalom”).
H”BH also CLEARLY refers ONLY to Hashem. It should not be made into a pun.
If you re-read my post, you’ll see that I agreed with this point. However, even though it is used only to refer to HaShem (much as the term “HaShem” is), that still does not actually make it HaShem’s name, complete with the prohibition of using it in vain.
