In the hispanic culture they often name after the saint of that day so most likely people named jesus were born on christmas

It is just a little weird in the western protestant regions... the name Jesus is used in the Spanish speaking and more catholic community very often...

"Jesus" in the Spanish language is not the same as the English "Jesus", the one identified with Christianity. It means something different (I can't remember unforuntunately). It's not even pronounced the same, it's "HEY-ZEUS" Most languages pronounce Jesus' name differently. You probably wouldn't recognize it in Swahili, would you?

i think Jesus is a sacred name. Only he is holy and pure and we dont have the right to have that name.

WHATS WRONG WITH NAMING YOURSELF AFTER A PROPHET? DO YOU KNOW THE MOST USED NAME IN THE WORLD IS MOHAMMED?
