I read an interesting book about the sacred name of God. A bit long winded in places but I thought the arguments against the English language name Jehovah were sound. Especially with chapter 10. Here's a link to the free book on Issu:
Why Do JW`s still use the Name Jehovah ,when they admitted in the Aid Book that it is not the correct pronunciation of his name ?

The karaites today use the pronunciation yehovah as the name of God. Unlike rabbinical judaism, they dont hide the name of God and interestingly pronounce it like JW. There are no vowels in the ancient text and the pronunciation in hebrew was lost resulting from rabbinical superstition. However, Rabbinical Jews do say the name. I’ve heard a Satmar angrily say to a Lubavitcher: “Jehovah doesn’t belong to you!” I think that in Hebrew the divine name is pronounced: Ye’hovah.
