Good point.
The term christ is a bastardization of Khristos. A kind of priest. These priests would undergo a trial where they were locked into a small room or tomb for three days (starting to sound familiar?) and they were given no food or water. At the end of the three days, they would be let out and declared "twice born" or "reborn".
Gee, I wonder what myth that sounds like?

Yes. It is a title used with His first name as a surname, which in our culture is commonly referred to as a "last name."

Not "christ" is a title. Jesus did not have a last name. Why do you ask? Just into trivia?

If "H" can be a middle name I can't see why Christ can't be a last name.

no, it isnt. Christ is a title meaning "annointed one." That what people thought Jesus was..not Jesus Christ, but Jesus, the Christ. He was annointed. He was the long-awaited messiah of the jewish people.

Not that it matters, but I've always been confused by Jesus' name. Shouldn't the correct English translation of his name be Joshua? and wasn't he 'The Nazarene' rather than 'Of Nazareth'?

No, but some kids might.
And they might think that God's last name is "dammit."
That is, of course, if their parents go around saying "Jesus Christ!" and "Goddammit!" a lot.

It is Greek for Maschiach (Messiah).
