There is much division over the names. Anyone who says you HAVE to pronounce it this way or that way (as in Jesus or Yahshuah) have another spirit not the Ruach HaKodesh. They are following occult mysticism and turning the name into an incantation as if merely saying the two dimensional name had power apart from the testimony and authority that goes with it. My primary issue with anyone who criticizes me for the names I use (i.e. Yeshua or Jesus and YHVH, Yahweh, Adonai, HaShem for the Father in Heaven) is that they criticize me but then they still use the Roman characters we use in English. I guarantee that any transliteration is NOT the sacred name of God or His Son. If they want to use the Hebrew Characters I dont have a problem with that. I do have a Hebrew keyboard too but I type faster in English and find it is awkward to switch back and forth... especially in the text of commenting the way FB handles text. We can pretty much all agree that יהוה is the name of God. Whether we say it to glorify Him or dont say it to honor Him... whether we pronounce it with a Sephardi or Ashkenazi inflection... whether we say LORD instead, whether we use a foreign language as our base. Pretty much everyone who has studied His Word and at some point been introduced to Hebrew sees those four Hebrew consonants as the form of His name. BUT remember Hebrew places function over form, while in Greek form is before function. This is why in the Hebrew mindset what is Holy to God is beautiful... and to the Greek minded what is beautiful is holy. They are not the same.
