many people refuse to use the name Jehovah as they say it is probably not the original pronunciation of the tetragrameton.
however, everyone is perfectly happy to go about using the modern pronunciations of every other name in the bible. Moses, Aaron, Abraham, Adam, Solomon, David, Peter, Paul, John etc. and of course, Jesus. the original pronunciation of nearly every name in the bible is lost, but we still use names to define the people apart.
isn't it hypocritical that people will give a name to every man who was recorded in the scriptures, but will dishonour God by only giving him titles? the lord's prayer tells us to pray for God's name to be sanctified. how can it be if it isn't used? it won't be the original pronunciation, but we can use the most likely pronunciation just as we do with everyone else in the bible.
even Jesus and other angels have been given names. so why not our God?
