Baha’u’llah did not change His name to mean the “Glory of God.” His name was given to Him.Baha'u'llah called himself a divine manifestation; he said it was acceptable for divine manifestations to say "I Am" as if they're God.
He changed his name to mean the "Glory of God", claiming he was Yeshua's father.
This isn't someone just claiming to be a 'voice of God', he actually thought he was God incarnate down near Hell.
Baha’u’llah did not claim to be the Father of Jesus. He claimed to come in the “station” of the Father just as Jesus came in to station of the Son, but He did not claim to be the Father.
Baha’u’llah did not claim to be God incarnate. He clearly wrote that God cannot incarnate His Essence and reveal it to man:
“Know thou of a certainty that the Unseen can in no wise incarnate His Essence and reveal it unto men. He is, and hath ever been, immensely exalted beyond all that can either be recounted or perceived. From His retreat of glory His voice is ever proclaiming: “Verily, I am God; there is none other God besides Me, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. I have manifested Myself unto men, and have sent down Him Who is the Day Spring of the signs of My Revelation. Through Him I have caused all creation to testify that there is none other God except Him, the Incomparable, the All-Informed, the All-Wise.” He Who is everlastingly hidden from the eyes of men can never be known except through His Manifestation, and His Manifestation can adduce no greater proof of the truth of His Mission than the proof of His own Person.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 49
