A wonderful book about:

THE NAME OF GOD YeHoWaH. ITS STORY, by Gérard Gertoux.

Example;

A2 - Is there a trace of the pronunciation of the Name in the Talmud or in the Bible ?

There are several places in the Talmud where it is written not to pronounce the Name "as it is written" or "according to its letters". Maimonides, a good Talmudist, quoting these remarks in his book The Guide of the Perplexed (1190) conclude that this Name was pronounced with no difficulty (without giving any vocalization). He said to his readers that knowing the meaning of this name was more important than knowing its pronunciation, because the meaning alone can incite to action.

There are several hundreds of theophoric names in the Bible, which retain the vocalization of the Tetragram. For example, the usual name "John" comes from the Hebrew name Yehôhanan, which means "Yehow[ah] has been gracious". In the Septuagint the name Yehôha-nan (YHWH-NN) became Iôa-nan in Greek, therefore, if the part Yehoha (YHWH) has been vocalized IÔA (or IOOA), this last vocalization is a good approximation for the Tetragram.

Thank you for the reference, Victormr.
 
Jesus' name includes his Father's name and so the Name of God is sprinkled throughout the NT by God's spirit even if men took it out.
