I thank you for your perspective, Mary. I'm not sure why the name of God would be considered esoteric knowledge. His name used to be highly revered. Many of the people in ancient days actually gave their children names that had special meanings centered around God's name. Which is why a person can read hundreds if not more biblical names that contain a partial pronounciation of God's name, better known as theophoric names. Even today, we have common English names that are transliterated versions of theophoric names. Which leads me to conclude that many Christians felt the significance in continuing the tradition.

Here are some examples from Strong's Concordance:
Yeshayahuw(Isaiah) - Jah has saved.
Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) - Jah will rise.
Zekaryahuw (Zechariah) - Jah has remembered.
Eliyahuw (Elijah) -God of Jehovah.
Mattithyahu (Matthew)-Gift of God.
Yehowshuwa (Joshua)-Jehovah saved.
Yehownathan (Jonathan)-Jehovah given.

Sarah, If you will notice not one of those names you have presented, begins with YAH, as you have previously suggested was the way names start. As has been stated in the factual and scriptural information presented here and other threads and articles, that prefix is not found in the Scriptures for names in the Hebrew, and those who promote the yah as the prefix in the myriad of made up names for God or Jesus are in serious error.
