I agree 1000%!!!

One, it is only a certain stream of manuscripts that did not have vowels in God's name - because the Jews removed them do to not liking to use such a holy name; the same as not wanting to see or speak about God and instead seeking a manifestation emanating from Him (ie. the Shekinah) - the preserved Hebrew Masorretic text does contain vowels.

Two, it is admitted by scholars that the name Yahweh was created by adding the vowels from Adonai to the Tetragrammaton (which is what those four letters indicating the name of God are called). So Yahweh was made up - though I have read material indicating it was a name of the moon God as well. (I see you addressed this above as well - I was skimming through your post and actually missed that sentence, sorry.)

Three, the word Jehovah (or the so-called name "Yahweh") are not the only names in the Bible with the initial letters. There are other Bible names using the YH beginning, and in English they are: Jehoshua, Jehoiakim, Jehoida, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Jehonab, Jehoahaz, Jehosheba, Jehoash, Jehoahaz, Jehozabad, Jehoaddan, Jehoiachin.

Now, if the letters used in Yahweh were actually true, then all these other Bible names using the same consonants would be translated as: Yahworam, Yahwoshaphat, Yahwoida, Yahwoiakim (or something similar); yet we NEVER find any modern translations using those spellings of Bible names, NEVER hear any preachers or teachers using those names or spellings of Bible names in their sermons and teachings.*

*I will clarify, I do not know what Hebrew Roots heretics do or if they change the spelling of Bible names, like they do with the name of God and of Jesus - AND (no joke) every single Hebrew Roots group has their own spelling of the names of God/Jesus, and I am sure each individual group that has their own Hebrew Roots Bible comes out with their own variant spellings too.

Josephus said the holy name consisted of 4 vowels.  Y and W are vowels. H is called the silent vowel. 

There were no Js in the English language before the 16th century.  U was also a late addition.
