Not verbally spelling Hashem's names

Where do we find that it's forbidden to spell out Hashem's names?

For example, people will say Yud-Kay - replacing the Hay with a Kay.

Or Yud-Kay-Vov-Kay for the Tetragrammaton.

We know it's forbidden to say His name in vain, but what's the deal with not spelling it out loud?
