The information conveyed to a physicist by the name "the God particle" is that the speaker is not a physicist: almost no physicist calls it that. (The obvious exception is Leon Lederman, who coined the term in a book of the same name for the general public.) Higgs himself hates it, and most physicists don't like it at all. I was a particle physicist for ten years, plus five years in grad school, and I never heard that name used within the field once.
