Note that said George Buchanan, professor emeritus at Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC, USA: 

” In ancient times, parents often give their children the names of their deities. This means that the children pronounced the names as if pronouncing the name of the deity. The Tetragrammaton was included in the names of people, and they always wore the middle vowel . “He added:

” This [Jehovah] is the correct pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton, as can be seen clearly in the pronunciation of proper names in the first Testament (PT), poems, Aramaic documents from the 5th century Greek translations of the name in the Dead Sea Scroll and Parents the Church . “ ( George Wesley Buchanan,” The Tower of Siloam, ”  The Expository Times  2003; 115: 37, pp 40, 41. )
