Technically, this is not accurate. Sephardic Hebrew does have a hard-J sound.

The major problem with the 'yahweh' paganism is its origin (both the pagan connections in ancient times and its modern fascination to the German criticism schools in recent times - in fact those connections appear likely to be themself connected since the criticism schools are quick to associate Jehovah with pagan deities in other cultures).

Also the wrong number of syllables and its incorrect vowels. Personally I consider Jehovah and Yehovah as largely equivalent, and even Yehowah is along the same lines. ie. If somebody used that pronunciation to match their Hebrew dialect I could accept that fine.

Shalom,
