The Hebrew name YHVDH is pronounced "Yehudah" in Hebrew. YHVDH and YHVH are almost similar except for the letter Dalet in YHV(D)H, a basis in which the pronunciation of YHVDH is close or with similar pronunciation of YHVH.

Also the name Jesus, it is a transliteration from the Aramaic name "Yeshua" which is from the Hebrew name YHVSA that pronounced as "Yehoshua". "Yeho" is shortened form of the name of God and Shua means "Salvation".

Yehudah and Yehoshua were not prohibited to pronounce. So, there is a clue on how to pronounce the name of God. Which is the closest pronunciation to YHVH that sounds similar to Yehudah and Yehoshua? Apparently the pronunciation of "Iao" is too far as well as PIPI, and Yahweh. Except for the pronunciation of YEHOVAH in Hebrew (YHVH)! This is the closest to the pronunciation of Yehudah (YHVDH) and Yehoshua (YHVSA). The English pronunciation of Jehovah can be considered as a direct transliteration of the Hebrew pronunciation "Yehovah".

(Jesus is not a direct transliteration of the name Yehoshua so it cannot be read as Jehoshua. Jesus is a transliteration from the Latin "Iesus", from the Greek "Iesous" a transliteration of the Aramaic name "Yeshua" a shortened form of the Hebrew name "Yehoshua").

John 5:43, ESV: "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me."

Unless you don't believe in Jesus and don't trust God who gave assurance to use His name: Exodus 3:15

"This is may name forever.. for genaration to generation".

Meaning it will not be lost and cannot be replaced by another title or name.

The ancient generation of Israelites, to our generation and the next generations was prophesied that the name of God Jehovah would be great among them in all the earth forever.

Isaiah 48:7; Malachi 1:11; Acts 15: 14-21; Ezekiel 12:28; Isaiah 55:10,11.
