I don't think anyone has the right to name their child Jesus, even if you are a Christian. What's next? Allah, Shiva, or Yahweh? amirite?

Muhammad is the most popular name in the world.. is that wrong too?

I was going to say this.

Its not wrong, and i dont see how it is wrong? In Islam, Muhammad is a very beatiful, cherished name. In Islam Allah has 99 names, and you can actually use them to name a child but you HAVE to put ABDU before it, like ABDURrahman and ABDUallah.

If you're an atheist what do you call your child's name? Nothing.

I remember reading about how the political theorist Miliband changed his first name from "Adolphe" to "Ralph" and for about ten minutes I kept thinking "Adolphe is a really nice name... where have I heard it before?" lol

It's just a name, they aren't saying that their child actually is the son of god.

I've only heard the name Jesus pronounced Hay-sous. We pronounce Jesus Jee-zus.

by Anonymous 15 years ago

Jesus is pronounced like Hay-sus, while the real Jesus is like Jeezus...and there is a whole lot of people named Shiva but the a is silent so its like Shiv.

Sorry, it's the same name... Not everybody speaks English. I'm sure he's just as "real" to people who speak Spanish and pronounce Jesús their way.

Jesus as in the song of god isn't always pronounced "Jeez-us", it is still pronounced "Hay-sous" in hispanic countries when they refer to the son of god. Also there's nothing wrong with naming your child Jesus. I

It was a name before the son of God was born, it should remain a name after. There is nothing wrong with naming your children a name that you feel strongly about, or if you just really like that name.

exactly, shiva's used with the a sound alot too along with 500 other variations of that name and other hindu gods and goddesses same with muhammad

It is very common in most religions and cultures to name your children after gods, godesses, and other religious people like saints. Chances are if your family is religious you were probably named after somebody important to your religion. What I don't understand is when people give their children ridiculous made up names like La-a. amirite?!

If they want to name their child after a schizophrenic, it is their choice.

You do realize it is a spanish name and the 'j' is pronounced like an 'h', right?

NOBODY names their kid jesus unless its the spanish way

Jesus is hebrew for Joshua though, isnt it? I see no problem. If God's son was named "Andrew" would that name be taboo as well?

My friends sister is names shiva... And doesn't Joshua mean Jesus?

My little brother's friend's name is Shiva.. minus the silent 'a' thing.

Jesus is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Yeshua, which is Joshua. It's really not that big of a deal.
