Yes, that would be legal.
There were many people named Jesus before, and if, the Jesus at the center of Christianity was born. It was one of the most common names of the time. I don't think he copyrighted it.

Of course. Jesus was not thee name given him at birth. It was Joshua. The name Jesus is a commonly used name given to males from Latina cultures. Another thing, Dec. 25th is not the date of Joshua's birth. You can name any offspring you produce "god" if you wish. A name is just a representation of a vocalized sound.

Jesus (of the Bible) was not the first given that name. Jesus was a common name in those times thus the distinction "of Nazereth" and "the Christ".

Mexicans seem to think so.
Think how crazy the Islamics get over their prophet but Mohammed is still about the most popular name in middle eastern countries.

Why wouldn't they? I lot of people use Biblical names for their children. Just don't name them "Jesus Christ" or "God".
By the way, the name "Jesus", in Hebrew, is actually Yeshua, or Joshua, and since he was Jewish, they would have called him Joshua (er - Yeshua).

Jesus is not a special name or something.
ANYbody has the right to be called Jesus.
Off course.
