Well, I know one thing is for certain: If you name your child Jesus, then you can honestly say that Jesus really does exist and that you know Jesus. If you happen to give birth to that child on December 24th, then you can say that it really is Jesus's birthday. I wonder how likely it would be that he would then die on easter?

Not to me. Jesus is a common name among hispanic people. We named the months and days of the week after other peoples gods, is this blasphemous to their gods?

No, it is not blasphemous, to name a child Jesus. It is a sign of respect. It is dedicating the child to God in the same way that Muslims name their sons Muhammad. Or Jews name their sons Abraham, Issac, Jacob, or Moses.
On the other hand, I did have a neighbor who named his dog Satan.

The name of a hispanic has nothing to do with the blasphemy of the the name of Jesus or the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. A lost person does not have to blaspheme the Holy Ghost to be lost for he is condemned already. To understand who can blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, we must first know whom the Lord Jesus Christ was talking to when he made the statement, “but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” (Matthew 12:31)
1.He was talking to the Pharisees of the Nation of Israel. (Matthew 12:24)
2.The body of Christ was a mystery while Jesus was on earth. (Romans 16:25)
Under the law, “in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.”(II Corinthians 13:1) There are three murders in Israel’s history that mark her rejection of their Christ.
1.The Father sent his prophets and the Nation of Israel killed them. John the Baptist was one of these prophets. He came preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (Mark 1:3-4) and preparing the way of the Lord. The Nation of Israel allowed him to be slain. This was the first witness.
2.Jesus came preaching, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 4:17) and they crucified him. They rejected God the Son this is the second witness. On the cross, Jesus prayed for the Nation of Israel, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”(Luke 23:34) This prayer made it possible for the kingdom to be offer the third time to the Nation of Israel. This is recorded in the first seven chapters of the book of Acts.
The third witness is the unpardonable sin; they rejected the Holy Ghost and killed Stephen (Acts 7:54-60). The death of Stephen marks the close of God’s offer of the kingdom to the Nation of Israel. The apostle Paul is called in Acts Chapter 9 and God gives him the gospel of the grace of God. He goes to the Jew first but they blaspheme the Holy Ghost (Acts 18:6) and then he turns to the gentiles. The Nation of Israel is blinded “until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.” (Romans 11:25) Today God is dealing with everyone alike and there is neither Jew nor Gentile (Gal 3:28; Eph 2:12). After the rapture of the body of Christ (the church), the next thing to happen to the Nation of Israel is the wrath of God will fall and God will deal with the Nation of Israel again (Daniel 9:24-26).

No it is not Blasphemous but, I wouldn't name my child any name that was Holy from the Bible not that I am against it but, if you'll notice people with Holy names are targeted by the evil one so bad! I mean they have a lot to fight off. The evil one takes special delight when he can tempt people with these Holy names to act like depraved animals.

Jesus is as common to hispanic people as the name John is to the white people. I don't think it would be blasphemy - but I think it would be kinda weird to name your kid Jesus. The poor kid might get teased alot.

I personally would not even think of naming my son Jesus. But, when Jesus Christ was on the earth, Jesus (or Yeshua) was a common name, so maybe there's nothing wrong with naming your son Jesus.

It would only be blasphemy to name your son Jesus Christ or Jesus the Savior or Jesus Messiah or something of that nature.

no, it is a name, and it was the name that was chosen for what christians believe was the son of god. Is it blasphemy to name your child mary? No. It is a name, and you are free to name your child it.

It is generally pronounced "Hey Zeus".
I like the question, but cannot surely answer it, certainly the parents do not consider it blasphemy. It is probably done out of respect.
