YHWH, YHVH Greek Latin Hebrew Influences in the OLD Testament TANAK TORAH TALMUD
The must appropriate writing of the name would be YHVH IS more accurate rather than YHWH. but since the YHWH is fully intergrated in the english context the YHWH is used.the Correct READing of the name ONLY can be said DURING the reading of the TANAK, which is Yohd-heh-VAT-heh.there more than 64 ways in sayoing the name of god.Reading is said diffrently compared to saying the name.Don't take my word for it Go to a Bah-mitz-vah and listen to the readings and you can hear the correct way.Also go to the main source the Hebrew language. NOT! the Greek and Latin Writings, where most of these discussions are being made.-Shalom.

Shalom backacha, Rabbi :)
Thanks for your input. Although we generally focus more on etymological aspects of names, theological background can be enlightening. Somehow, I just remembered one of the funniest IMHO Monty Python scenes: "Did someone say Jehovah?" from the Life of Brian :)
