Still, why wouldn't "Elohim"'s name by Yahweh, as it is in the Old Testament?

Elohim is the Hebrew word that is translated into "God" in the English Bible. It's a valid, if unspecific name.
YHWH is translated into "the LORD", even though it's not what it means. Ancient Jews, paranoid about pronouncing the holy name, instead said "Adonai", which is the actual Hebrew word for "lord". To help remind themselves of this, they wrote "YHWH" with "Adonai"'s vowels. Early Bible scholars misunderstood the purpose of this and read it as "Iehovah".
This is all moot in this case, since Mormons do believe that Jehovah is pre-human Jesus Christ and Elohim as God.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
