I prefer to use Yahweh. After some interesting research I found that the mirror of His name is הוהי meaning eternal and pronounced hevhay or hewhay depending on how the Vav is translated. So I prefer Yahweh. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Elohim, Adonai, El Shadai, Yah, Yeshua are straight forward but the four letters of the name, I wish many could stop fabricating because those 4 letters can be expanded in Hebrew to 72 letters and Yahweh, Yehuah, Yahusha etc are nowhere to be found. If you want the name in 72 letters, I can show and tell me if you can pronounce it.

I prefer Yehovah. My former Messianic congregation used it years ago before they abandoned it and become more rabbinic minded. I am also convinced of Nehemia Gordon's research that supports it. It is close to Jehovah that most English speaking peoples are familiar with and has been around for centuries. Yehovah is the pronunciation that the early readers of the KJV used before the letter J was part of the English alphabet.

I'll post a video from Michael Rood as he interviews Nehemia Gordon. Please note; I do not vouch for any other teaching either of them may be teaching. I do however, believe that the work Nehemiah has done is very valid and unless he is totally lying, the pronunciation of the tetragramaton is today a moot question.

Probably the most important thing is that you researched and sought out the name...

I prefer Yehovah but my husband prefers Yahweh.
We figure we all sound like little children mispronouncing a name down here so.... in deference to DH I teach the children Yahweh.

I prefer Father or my King --- Try to respect His Holy Name for I am not even worth pronouncing it, less worthy to untie His shoes. When I write, I will write YHVH, Yeshua, Ruach HaKodesh as many prefer to read.

Of the several Hebrew names I have seen that reference to him directly, they all contained Yah. I haven't seen any with the other spelling variations that I can recall.

Since I'm no expert on ancient Hebrew, I defer to those who are and usually go with Yahweh. However, it seems to me that the 3-letter spelling on the recently discovered lead curse tablet--if it is legitimate--would lend some credence to the Yehovah pronunciation. Unless YHW is a deliberate obfuscation of the name (like LORD and G-d), then the most natural pronunciation would require 2 syllables: Yehov or Yahu, e.g..

But, as I said, I'm no Hebrew philologist, so I could be way off base.
