Yep, they talked Greek back then and Hebrew before Greek, not English. Take a course in Etymology it will help you understand why He called Jesus in English. Then ask a Spanish person how they say His name.

Yea He was called Yeshua in Hebrew but the english translation is Jesus. If you pray to Jesus your prayers still Go to God. Its like saying chien which french for dog.. it's the same thing...
Jesus has many names look them up.. Immanuel..HayZeus...God is with Us...Jehovah..Prince of peace..etc..

That's going to come as quite a shock to guys like Matthew, who knew him and wrote about him, using the name Jesus.
Actually, he's called 144 different names/titles in the Bible, but they're all the same person - Jesus.

Yes. Next question ...
----------------------edit--------------
...This is really quite a simple exercise. The name ×ֵש××Ö¼×¢Ö· (Yeshua) appears multiple times in Ezra and Nehemiah and once in each of the books of Chronicles. In the English, you can usually find it as "Jeshua". To arrive at the correct pronunciation, however, you have to accept the Masoretic vowel pointings. Those who are insistent upon the "YAHshua" pronunciation reject the traditional Masoretic vowel pointings when it does not suit their beliefs.
The name begins with a × (yud), which carries with it the sound of our English "Y". The vowel point associated with the yud is the Öµ (tsere), which makes the vowel sound "eh" in sephardic/modern Hebrew ("ey" in Ashkenaz). So the first sound is ×Öµ "yeh".
The second letter is the ×©× (shin), which makes the "sh" sound. The ×©× is followed by a × (vav) with the ×Ö¼ (shuruk) pointing, which makes an "oo" sound. (The × alone makes a "v" sound, but when it appears as ×Ö¼ the × functions as a vowel.) Together, ×ֵש××Ö¼ makes the sound "yeh-shoo".
The final letter is the ×¢ (ayin). By itself, the ×¢ is a silent letter, however, it appears as ×¢Ö· with the Ö· (patakh) vowel pointing, which adds the "ah" sound to the letter.
Together, the three syllables of ×ֵש××Ö¼×¢Ö· are pronounced "yeh-shoo-ah". We transliterate this in English as "Yeshua."...
