Can each person of the triune god be referred to as "God"?

God is said to be "the triune god". He exists as "the Father" (who is God), "the Son" (who is God), and "the Holy Spirit", (who is God). Since Jesus is "the son of God", then the Father is independently referred to as God. Otherwise, Jesus would be the son of the triune God, and he would begat himself.

Because of Communicatio idiomatum, Jesus is also referred to as God. So it is said "God died for our sins" or "God suffered".

So we have "God", who is the Father, and "God", who is the Son. There is also the Holy Spirit guy, who is likewise referred to as "God".

Is it correct to refer to God as "god, god, and god"?
