I was reading The Watchtower and it mentioned Hopton Haynes was a bible scholar who used and acknowledged Gods name as Jehovah. In a 1797 book on the worship of God, Hopton Haynes began chapter 7: “Jehovah the proper name of God among the Jews; whom alone they worshiped; as also did Christ and his Apostles.” I think Hopton is an interesting name. It is a rare name but it has a long history. The meaning is decent as well.
