As we find in the original hebrew scriptures, God had given Moses a name that we are to call upon Him by (Ex 3:15). This is a sacred name that only God Himself answers to. When we look at a few hints, we can easily find how to pronouce His holy name.
First, it is spelled in hebrew Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey. The Yod and Hey are vowels, while the Vav is usually a constanant but also a vowel in certain cercumstances.
Second, Josephus had wrote in his papers for the Romans how they (the Romans) commented on the God of the Jews who's name is all vowels.
Third, God's name has Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey. In hebrew the name of Judah is spelled Yod-Hey-Vav-Dalet-Hey. They are the same except Judah has the added "D" sound.
Judah is pronounced "Ye-hu-dah".
When we remove the "D" sound...
God's name is pronouced "Ye-hu-ah"
This fulfills the complete vowel sound of His name, uses the proper letters, and can been seen in the name Judah.
Rabbinical tradition prohibits me and anyone else to prounouce (or even try) God's name.
But I don't bow to tradition but bow only to God.
And if God has given us a memorial name and Moses used it, all the prophets used it and its written hundres of times in scripture...
then I will use it when I pray and praise God.

This is how I reason it out for myself.
KJV Bible 1611 published plus 303 years is 1914 CE an excepted translantion by law of man and God. David Psm.68:4; 83:18; His name Jah and Jehovah.
In the mouth of 2 or 3. Moses has it in Exodus. Isaiah has it twice. Abraham and Gideon once each.

The name is reportedly pronounced Yahweh. It is depicted by the letters YHWH. You can look it up under Tetragrammaton. Which means "a name too sacred to be spoken or written." It is depicted in original scroll texts as four dots .... . Other names of God include: Elohim ( which is a plural form) often used to support the Trinity. As in Genesis "Let us make man in our own image.) In the New Testament Christ claims to be the revealed form of God in human flesh. "In the beginning the word was with God and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelled among us." Shalom, and happy holidays.

its called the tettragrammaton. its the 4 hebrew letters Yud Hey Vav Hey.
as per the fact that it has no vowels, and quite a variety of combinations would result in pronouncable combination of vowels and consonants with these 4 consonants, we don't know how to pronounce it.
during the temple times it WAS known, but that knowlege has been lost.
in Judaism theres a tradition that you do not even TRY to say it. thus why theres none of this "jehovah" and "yahweh" nonsense that some other religions come up with.
some say its a silly superstition, but do you want to risk either:
getting it WRONG and annoying the big guy by insulting him, knowingly mispronouncing his name?
or getting it RIGHT? which according to the lore and such, it would be spiritually/magically like waving around an armed, hair trigger nuclear bomb around. ... just not something thats intelligent to do.

"Supposedly", the oldest known name for God is Agla. Which is found in
magical writings, and said to be the name of God on Atlantis.
The name used the most and longest in a part of the world, would probably have the most power.
Some say HUngarian is a higher language, and many great inventors like
Tesla came from Hungary!
Don't listen to all the ego stuff, about "my God's better than your God"!
He will answer to anyone who calls out to Him with Love!

The actual pronunciation of his name has been lost over the passage of time, just as the actual pronunciation of Messiah's name has been lost. Both the words Jesus and Jehovah have become the accepted terms.

There is no proof that God exists, only that someone said so. Therefore if some one had a name for God it would be because some one said so. God never said, "by the way, my name is...."

YHWH, hard to know how to pronounce it because it was considered bad to pronounce it for so long.
Hehe, Shalom.
