I was wondering why, after the true pronunciation of the Shem Havaya was lost, was it decided that the name be pronounced like the Shem Adnut - and not like any other one of Hashem's names? Why was the Shem Adnut chosen?

    The question here is why the shem Adnut is used rather than some other pronounciation. The answers there do not answer this particular question. @DonielF

    @sabba Would not the source for pronouncing י-ה-ו-ה as א-ד-נ-י suffice as answering why we pronounce it that way? The answer is, it was chosen because Hashem said we should in Shemos 3:15 as interpreted in Pesachim 50b and elsewhere.
