Most Bibles these days follow the Jewish custom in the Old Testament as a mark of respect for God's name.
God the Father is not called 'Jehovah' as this is an anglicised version of the Tetragrammmaton - the four-letter name that God gave Moses on Mount Sinai. These four letters are YHWH (which are usually pronounced 'YahWeh' mean 'I am') and so God's name is simply 'I am'.
When reading the Hebrew Bible Jews will never utter the name of God as it is deemed too holy. So when the name YHWH crops up Jews will use a word like 'Adonai' instead - meaning 'Lord'.
Therefore, in modern Bibles, when the word 'Lord' is seen (in capital letters) this replaced the tetragrammaton as the name of God is deemed too holy to be read. Therefore, all Bibles, in a way, contain the name of God.
The only major translation to have extensively used 'Jehovah', the anglicised version of YHWH, and believed, in error, to be God's name, is the New World Translation, as used by Jehovah's Witnesses. However, the vast majority of Bible scholars regard this translation as very poor and also biased against the divinity of Christ and therefore cannot be recommended.
