I keep seeing the Names come up, except those promoting them are using laughably bad representations.
#yhvh is not pronounced yahuah. Huah in Hebrew is H1943 and means a ruin or a disaster. When you pronounce that, you're accidentally saying Yahweh is a destroyer or Yahweh brings to ruin. That's not really a word and also not something you would really want to say. Ever.
YHVH's Name is explained in Exodus 3:14 but you have to look at Hebrew to understand it. Hayah Asher Hayah is His Name and it means "I Exist" or "Eternal One". So we have to pronounce it in a way that preserves this meaning.
#yeshua is not pronounced yahusha. Hushah in Hebrew is a name that means haste. Putting yah in front of that would mean Yahweh hurries or hastens. What folks are trying to say here is Yahweh is Salvation or Yahweh is our Deliverer. That's Yehoshua and the name of Moses' successor that we call Joshua in English. Yeshua's Name is just "Salvation". If you study this word in the Tanakh (aka Old Testament) you will see many prophecies of the Messiah that are invisible when we use other words.

"H1961
Original: היה
Transliteration: hâyâh
Phonetic: haw-yaw
BDB Definition:
to be, become, come to pass, exist, happen, fall out"
It is given as the root word for YHWH, which is given as:
"H3068
Original: יהוה
Transliteration: yehôvâh
Phonetic: yeh-ho-vaw'
BDB Definition: Jehovah = " the existing One"
the proper name of the one true God
unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of H136
Origin: from H1961"
However, Josephus said in The Wars of the Jews, 5.235
That The Name on the high priests frontlet consisted of four consonantal vowels. "V" cannot make a vowel sound. "W" makes the "oo" sound. The rabbis who helped resurrect the Hebrew language VOTED whether to pronounce this letter as "vav" or "waw". It is a german/yiddish corruption to pronounce it "v" in the modern hebrew, which is nothing like ancient hebrew. The name is pronounced "ee-ah-oo-ah"
"Adonai" was written in the margins as the word to say instead of The Name, not to indicate the vowels of it. "YHWH" is complete without any dots or tittles.
