I believe his full title was just "Jesus of Nazareth". "Christ" is derivative of Greek, which means "Anointed One".
People will say Jesus H. Christ, which I love to interpret as "Jesus Haploid Christ". The actual purpose of the H is vague, though most widely accepted as a derivative from the divine monogram of Christian symbolism, IHC or IHS. The Christogram symbol derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus, transliterated as "IHS" or "JHS". Since "IHS" gave rise to the backronym Iesus Hominum Salvator (Latin for "Jesus savior of men"), it is plausible that "JHC" gave rise to "Jesus H. Christ".

No Jesus had no other name than Jesus, unless you want to look what Jesus means..
Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means the LORD Saves.
This answer begs more questions than it answers, but it does point in the right direction. Jesus is Greek for Joshua.
People who look for conspiracies point out that the word "Joshua" also appears in the New Testament, and it comes out as Joshua.8 9 10 Why, for example, would Jesus' name be mangled in the Greek but not the other uses of the name Joshua? Saying simply that "Jesus" is Greek for "Joshua" is untrue. "Joshua" is Greek for "Joshua."
A check against the Aramaic New Testament suggests that the original New Testament texts simply called Jesus by his Hebrew/Aramaic name: Joshua. The word used for Jesus' name was introduced at the same time as when the New Testament was translated into the Greek language.
The name "Jesus" is different than what his family and the Apostles actually used when addressing him in person.
Most Messianic Jews and many other Christians recognize this perversion of his name and have switched back to the name "Joshua" instead of Jesus. The problem with this convention that most groups of Christian have not done this and people who have switched to his original name have trouble relating to people who still use Jesus.

I do not believe so... not in the same sense we do. He was born from the virgin Mary, so I would suppose he might take on her last name, (whatever that happens to be) if you wanted to be technical about it since she was not married.
