Remember it's not the Hebrew WORD its-self that counts as there is no magic attached to a name as some sacret name people seem to believe. It's the meanings of the Hebrew words (name) that counts. If the same meaning of the Hebrew word is written in English or any other language, it has been translated right. "His NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace".
Elohim (Almighty God)
Elohim is the first name for God found in the Tenach (Old Testament). The name Elohim indicates that God is full of creating and governing power and who created all things by speaking His Word. This name of Elohim (God) is used 35 times in the account of creation (Genesis 1:1 Genesis 2:4) and is the only word used to describe Himself in this passage.

El-Shaddai (God Almighty)
This name is first used in connection with Abram.
Gen 17:1
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD (Elohim) appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God (El-Shaddai); walk before me, and be thou perfect.
ELOHIM is the Covenant maker: And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
El-Shaddai is translated "God (El) Almighty (Shaddai)". The name Elohim is also translated into "God Almighty". Elohim (meaning "All Powerful One") is evident throughout the story of creation. It is derived from the root "El" which means "Power, Might, Exceeding Greatness" and is translated into Almighty God as well many times in the English Bible.
Don't get hung up on names. We who speak English have the meaning of the Hebrew names translated into there English meanings. Elohim in English means "Mighty One".
If one wants to use Hebrew Names only, what name and what pronunciations are you going to use. It is not the Hebrew WORD name that is important. but the meaning of the name that is important. The meaning of the Hebrew word "Elohim" is "Almighty God". The Hebrew name "YHVH" is made plain in the English language, it's "I AM that I AM".
An absurdity presented by the transliterating process, is that often the 'new' representations introduce sounds that are non-existing in the Hebrew language, as for instance:
- the 'J' in 'Jehovah' ('J' as in 'George')
- the 'J' in 'Jesus'
- the 'w' in 'Yahweh' or 'Yahowah'
We have to re-emphasise that these sounds do not exist an Hebrew and is not provided for in the Hebrew alphabet, yet some Sacred Name promoters insist on their own personal interpretation, transliteration and spelling of the name is the 'only right' form.
The following is a list of the transliterated versions of the Hebrew Names used by various Sacred name groups. Just which one are you going to argue and fight over as being the right one? The King James version did a good job of using the right "meanings" of the Hebrew names in translating the Hebrew, Greek and Latin names into English. (Mat 5:18) "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
