Well I know someone who is named Jesus and these people were telling him it's a name only their savior should have. I was wondering if other people might have thought the same.

I think people can name their children whatever they want. But....they should consider what their child will go through with certain names that are given. A name stays with you as you grow up. Children can be cruel and because of that, I feel parents should think before they put a name on their child.

Jesus is just a name. I wonder if Mary asked herself the same question?? The only weird thing is that I never hear too many kids being named "Satan" or "Lucifer" ...wouldn't you think there would be some people out there that would do that?

It's a little awkward. I'm OK with the occasional Spanish Jesus, I've met. I guess i could get used to it.
My daughters name is Faith. Now I met a Catholic priest from India, He was shocked by her name and asked me if the priest here refused to baptized her in that name?

that's rather a cultural distinction extremely than a non secular difficulty. i do no longer discover it offensive, yet whilst those persons stated their call Gee- sus extremely than Hay-soos it may in all probability rattle me slightly only as a results of fact I grew up in a custom that in the time of basic terms used the call Jesus to refer to the Son of God. The Spanish pronunciation only appears like a guy's call to me- like Mark or Carlos.

Yes. Jesus' name should be respected. No one else should be named Jesus.

I have never heard that name in Briton but Joshua is probably closer to the original name and I have come across that quite a lot recently . his Hebrew name was Yeshua and I have never heard that in England either. far to many Marys though particularly Irish girls

Jesus was (and still is) a very popular name in the middle east. It really shouldn't bother .... anyone.

Jesus' name wasn't Jesus, i was Y'shua, or as we would say it, Joshua.
How many people do you see being called Josh? Does that bother you?

Yeah, I suppose it does a little to be honest with you. I named my kid a non-Greek variation of that name though in honor of my Lord. Hope that's not hypocritical. I wanted to honor God not give my son a messianic complex.

No. I'm Hispanic and for us, naming a son Jesus is not all that uncommon.
