also it's 'Yahweh' btw
Skill issue. I can say it. I just don't say it. I'd be rude if I said it.
Imma guess God's name is the equivalent of a birdbox beast:
Open to interpretation, yet everywhere...
I heard god's true name once and it sounded like a pig pooping on his own balls. I converted immediately after.
POR FAVOR
poor kid, but that's all i can think of when people say Yahweh
This reminds me of a weird joke I heard once. It went something like this:
Imagine Bruce Wayne (in a very generous interpretation of the character) actually achieving all of his goals, not only ending crime in Gotham City but ending the conditions for crime even happening in Gotham City. That Gotham City would become a shining city upon the hill that is an inspiration to cities beyond, and eventually entire countries. Eventually, the crime-fighting masked vigilante that Bruce Wayne portrayed wouldn't need to exist as something for villains to fear, but for everyone to aspire for as an ideal. Wayne Enterprises would become more than a corporation; it would become a political movement, then a philosophical one, aspiring to invent a new and better way of life. Indeed, imagine centuries of this rising, improving way of life until life itself transcended its old boundaries, even mortality itself, until one day, on a distant world...
A weary bedraggled being in search of answers to spiritual questions comes across a burning bush, awestruck by the sight, and asks the burning bush's name.

the only way it's "Yahweh" is if it has some very special secret vowels because "יהוה" doesn't sound like that lol
Isn’t that because ancient Hebrew used an abjad so they just didn’t write vowels at all
It's still that way. I guess later some letters started indicating certain vowel sounds a bit more directly, but it's mostly little dots and lines that only get used to teach or are placed on text where ambiguity isn't acceptable.
Also, they transposed the German "J" to the english sounding "Y" at the beginning of "Yahweh" but did not transpose the German "W" into an English sounding "V" to match the Hebrew letter. They should either have it as JHWH or IHVH but instead we get a mix-and-match.
This is the reveal he's saving for the third book
What are you talking about? "Ivanova" is an easy name to say.
God's real name is Gregory Gordon Godfrey and he lives on a plantation in Hawaii
