Exodus 3:13
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
 

This eternal nature is conveyed better in the Hebrew than in the English. The first time God says I AM (“I AM WHO I AM”), the Hebrew says, “Ehyeh asher Ehyeh”, which translates as “I will be what I will be.”
When God then tells Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent you” (Exodus 3:14), it is “Yahweh.”
Yahweh is the third person version of Ehyeh, which is first person. Yahweh could also be translated as He will be.

What God Means by "I AM WHO I AM" in Exodus 3:14

In Exodus, God states His own name for the first time: “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ The name of I AM is how God chose to introduce himself, becoming so sacred that in Judaism, the name is not to be spoken. The significance of God’s self-given name encompasses all that He is, and how we...

Becomes whatever is needed to fulfill his purpose. This phrase has also been translated “I Will Become whatsoever I please” or “I Will Become What I Choose to Become.” (The Emphasised Bible, by J. B. Rotherham; New World Translation) This description helps to explain the personal name, Jehovah, given in the next verse.—Exodus 3:15

God does not have name in the Pentateuch. The words used are niot names. Elohim refers to an omnipotent god adonai refers toa loving god. Jehovah is the transliteration of Adonai. Jews refused to name god as that would make him like an idol and God was seen as abstract beyond human comprehension

It's a little known fact that close friends just call Him Stanley.

We don't actually know how the tetragrammaton (YHWH) was pronounced. Because the Jews didn't include the vowels. And most Hebrew scholars believe it was more likely rendered Yahweh since the Hebrew language didn't have the J sound. It got transliterated multiple times and ended up as Jehova in other languages. This is by no means an official name of God since we really don't know.

I don't either. My issue is the JW governing body is insistent that Jehovah is God's true name whenever the fact is we don't know the true pronunciation of YHWH.They are deceiving people. And English speakers apart of broader Christianity simply say God or Lord.
 
In Christianity, God's personal name is typically rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah, according to the Old Testament and New Testament https://www.bibleproject.com/videos/yhwh-lord/}. The Hebrew consonants for this name are YHWH, which are sometimes vocalized as Yahweh or Jehovah.

Yahweh:
This is a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton, derived from the Hebrew verb "to be" (hayah).

Jehovah:
This is another rendering of the Tetragrammaton, with the vowels of "Adonai" (Lord) added.

Theological Significance:
The name reveals God's character and nature, emphasizing His self-revelation as "I AM WHO I AM".

Pronunciation and Usage:
While "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" are the most common English renderings, Jewish tradition often refrains from pronouncing YHWH due to its sacred nature, using terms like "Adonai" (Lord) or "HaShem" (The Name) instead.

Maybe if you say the name properly, you get God's attention.

Speaking from a biblical point of view, this is not a good thing.

I already know all this. You didn't address my point. That the Governing Body of the Watch Tower are insistent that you refer to God as Jehovah. Even though we don't know the true pronunciation of YHWH. And at best Jehovah is a transliteration and at worse is a made up name.

Because you don't know what you're talking about...we call him many things...Heavenly Father, God, Lord, Creator...but His personal name is Jehovah...we make God's name known just as Jesus did since we are his footstep followers...

"I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them.” John 17:26
