I'm not quite sure I agree here.  Consider what you wrote later on:

> The Son's name is Jesus (as we all know), where did he get his name?

The name "Jesus" is a similarly anglicized transmogrification of the
the name of the Messiah.  "Yah'shua" or "Yeshua" (or even "Joshua")
would be a closer pronunciation.  This does not mean, however, that we
all need to be re-baptized in the name of "Yeshua."  Similarly,
"Jehovah" is just the English way to spell "Yawheh."

Another example: the "oneness" physician burned at the stake in
medieval Geneva Switzerland was Miguel Servantes, but we call him
Michael Servantes in our American history books.
