Yes too many times to count! I tell them I believe in G-d when they ask which one I say HaShem. They're like I've never heard of that G-d. It's frustrating to try and explain it to them.
HaShem technically means "The name"
xd .
If you'd look it up in wikipedia, they actually say "Yah-Weh", but that is G-d's actual name, and you're not allowed to pronounce it. So yeah, it's like you said, when we refer to G-d, we usually either say "HaShem" (= "the name"), or "Hakadosh baruch hu" (= "The holy one is blessed")

you know I say next time someone ask if you believe in god just start acting like you can't speak english and can only speak "Jew speak"
Oh how that would amuse me.
rofl or you could just be a smartey pantz and get all philosophical on them. Personally I think the idea of god is so different between judaism and christianity, so tehcinally. I think that the two are completely two different concepts. So you don't believe in their idea of god, so you both are right by saying Hashem, because by saying you believe in god. You are saying you believe in their idea of god to them. Which you don't because there idea of god is more of a polythesitic religion than monothesitic. They think of jesus as god, and to me that's two different people. God can't be god and jesus he's jsut god, and besides even if they are the same thign you woreship jesus more than god. So you're doing everythign the wrong way. SO HA JEWS WIN.
