I live in the Question if Elohiym is the Father and YHWH is the Holy Spirit or the other way around, but the text suggests that Elohiym is the Father because of the use of the word "God" in the new and old testaments. Now to think of YHWH as wisdom, it would make sense YHWH's invested interest in the teachings specifically.
Yes but not specifically.
For one thing, and as can be seen on these forums, there are only about a dozen different variations of the name you are advocating, and each poster apparently thinks that it matters a lot that their exact version of it is the only correct one.Why use 'God' or 'Lord' when those aren't names?

"……in each age that God personally does His own work, He uses a name that befits the age to encapsulate the work that He does. He uses this particular name, one that possesses the significance of the age, to represent His disposition in that age. God uses the language of man to express His own disposition. Even then, many people who have had a spiritual experience and have personally seen God still feel that one particular name is incapable of representing God in His entirety—and what a pity that is! They do not call God by any name, and simply call Him “God.” Their heart seems full of love, yet it also seems beset with contradictions, for they do not know how to explain “God.” What God is is too bountiful, there is simply no way of describing Him. There is no single name that can summarize God’s disposition, and there is no single name that can describe all that God has and is. If someone asks Me, “Exactly what name do You use?” I will tell him, “God is God!” Is that not the best name for God? Is it not the best encapsulation of God’s disposition? So why spend so much effort seeking the name of God? Why think so hard, going without food and sleep, for the sake of a name? The day will arrive when God is not called Jehovah, Jesus, or the Messiah—He will simply be called the “Creator.” At that time, all the names that He took on earth shall come to an end, for His work on earth will have come to an end, after which He shall have no name. …… Do you still seek God’s name now? ……You should know that God originally had no name. He only took on one, or two, or many names because He had work to do and had to manage mankind. Whatever name He is called by, isn’t it freely chosen by Him?“ from The Word Appears in the Flesh
hope to help you !
Yet scripture indicates that a specific someone said that was their specific name.
Indeed, it is a proper way of referring to God the Holy Trinity. That being said I am disinclined to see it used in preference to the word "God" because this would be contrary to the established modes of use.
Very salient point. Romola's shared passage is pretty good too.
I know "God";
I don't much know "YHVH." (In fact it looks pretty strange.)
Surely we are not trying to introduce strangeness into our understanding of God?
Tell me, why does knowing the name matter? Does it grant you some kind of magical power? Do you think it is proper to address God by His name as if he were your buddy? You wouldn't do that to any earthly dignitary, would you?
Prove it.
This would suggest that YHVH isn't Jesus.

Well, if you need to nitpick, remember when Jacob wrestled with God? and asked his name? God said why do you ask when you know it is a secret?
Exo 3:15 God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
How does this prove that God wants us to use his name? He was revealing it to Moses.
God isn't a name.
Is HE perhaps telling Moses: Yah, "the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob" (who is sending this to you), this is my name. (Or "THIS" is my name?)Exo 3:15 God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
