Leslie,
I don't manage this website full-time, so I appreciate your patience in my moderating comments... especially those as lengthy as what you posted. If I didn't moderate them, there would be an enormous amount of comments regarding Viagra, handbags, and other silliness... which I believe are a bit distracting of the general purpose of this site. Wouldn't you agree?
First of all, if you read my article above in its entirety, you'll see I've added several links to articles with alternative pronunciations of the Great Name. The pronunciation of "Yehovah" is not my blind and emotional-filled agenda-push. Truth is my agenda... and I readily admit that ultimately the pronunciation of "Yehovah" may be wrong.. at least partially. This is why I tried to frame the above study as non-dogmatic and exhaustive as possible... and allow others to see that there are other alternatives. Have you done the same?
Secondly, you give much credibility to Mr. Strong. Is it not interesting to you that even the Strong's Concordance gives "yeh-ho-vaw" as the pronunciation of H3068 ?
Thirdly, below are the 27 name proofs from the study you provided: "Publish the Name of Yahuwah" by B. Earl Allen. According to Mr. Strong (and even the notable Wilhelm Gesenius), all of these Hebrew names are 'traditinoally' believed to be pronounced with the prefix of "Yeho-" or "Yehu-", NOT "Yahu-". I basically extracted the following pronunciation list from my Strongs (using e-Sword). This begs the question, what Strongs are you and Mr. Allen looking at? Or is he looking at some other extraction? If so, that is fine, but what is it?

Fourthly, "calling on the Name" to be "delivered" or "saved" has more to do with calling upon His Person/Existence than just calling upon Him with an accurate pronunciation. The individual using the pronunciation of 'Yahweh' is still calling on the Elohim of Abraham, Isaak, and Jacob. Just as when I use the pronunciation of 'Yehovah' or you use 'Yahuwah'. We're calling on the SAME Person and the SAME All Eternal, All Existing One. We're not calling on a One that doesn't exist... like the pagans do. He does exist and He knows his children are calling on Him, even if they aren't using the most accurate pronunciation. Not understanding this puts you in a very lonely and unnecessary predicament... especially if you think only those who use "Yahuwah" are truly "saved". That is just ridiculous... in my view.
Shalom to you and yours,
Hanok
