Yahweh, Yahveh, Jehovah are never used by observant Jews. Never.

Even Adonai (itself a pronunciation stand-in for Y-H-V-H) is never pronounced outside of prayer or reading a Torah scroll. HaShem is its stand-in.

Similarly, when Elohim refers to God, it is pronounced Elokim outside of prayer or reading a Torah scroll.

This is correct! I meant to add that Christians use the pronouncment of Yahweh, Yahveh, or Jehovah
