Do not let many blessings confuse you by having to put a label on it.  What ever that person is, is whatever that person chose to be, in alignment with God's plan, before this person was born.  Call it taras.  (bridge)

I agree with you, depending upon your language preference it varies, but his name is Jehovah , or JHVH, or in hebrew Yahweh YHWH, it used to be in most bibles but today it's been removed from most

Unless your family is unique and well-known or has other "special" attributes, a strange name will probably give the kid some problems.  \n\nThere are other beautiful names out there that have beautiful meanings.  Try to combine something simple, but easy to pronounce, not too long, and something people can easily remember that kind of just rolls off the tongue with a very nice meaning.  \n\nKids really are aware of their names.  I once knew a boy named Oakley, and it tormented him through his life.  He eventually changed it to "Lee," but I'll never forget the teasing he went through!  \n\nJust put yourself in the shoes of the other kids and see how you would react.  Make it simple, pretty, and meaningful.  Good luck!

This is more of a cultural thing.\n\nIn English we name boys "Joshua", which comes from the Hebrew version of the name (closer to what Jesus' family and friends actually called him!)   In Spanish cultures, they use "Jesus" (pronounced differently from English, of course) and I have no problem with that...  though I will admit the first few times I wrote something official to my Filipino brother-in-law who bears this name (though he is usually called by an unrelated nickname), it was an adjustment.\n\nI am glad you don't suggest there is some Scriptural barrier to the practice -- I've heard folks make pronouncements about this, with no real foundation.\n\nAs for "living up the being named after the son of God" -- well does not EVERY "Christian" bear his name?! and the name of his Father!!  We even formally mark it in baptism in which the NAME of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is 'put on us' as now "sons and daughters of the living God" by our connection to Jesus.  \n\n(The connetion between baptism and NAMING as sons/children is clear in the words of the Father at Jesus' own baptism, echoed in his resurrection, in the declaration "You are my beloved Son in whom I delight!"  In OUR baptism it is as if, as we are symbolically united to Jesus his Son, he declare over US "You are my sons and daughters in whom I delight!")\n\nIf some boy's specifically having the legal name "Jesus" helps him remember what we ALL ought to remember about who (and whose!) we are, that might be a very GOOD thing!

I would never use the name Adolf because it is the name of one of the most despicable and evil men in history. \n\nJudas isn't a good idea either with the biblical betrayal. However, there has been a part of the scripture that was found that alludes to Judas' betrayal being requested by Jesus, so maybe that name won't be such a bad idea later.\n\nHannibal isn't that big of a deal because was just a military figure in ancient times, but because of the connotation it has due to "Silence of the Lambs," it's probably just a good idea to not consider it.\n\nI'd just steer clear of names that have been tied to generally evil people.

It would probably depend on the area of the world he came to.  If he were born as a child again,  and had A parent,  he would look like her.   If that be middle eastern again,  thats what he would look like.  \n\nWhat is funny is caucasian people could not accept the fact that Jesus was not white,  so they depict him with caucasian features.   Such arrogance and dishonesty detracts from the truthful nature of Christianity as a whole.   The least they can do is draw him correctly.  Second they could use his real name.

Most last names were derived from what the person did for a lving.  Since Jesus was a  Shepherd perhaps that was  his name.  His father Joseph was a Carpenter so that also could have been his name

I think it is unique. If I was you I would tell them their parents were not creative. I happen to like it. I have a very simple name Jessica. Not unique at all. I like your name.

Both early teaching and the scriptures state it must be in the name of the Trinity.  Jesus gives everything to the Father.  The Spirit enlivens us.  To do it in the name of Jesus alone is to miss an important aspect of Christianity.

You might want to stay away from hard to pronounce/spell names. Being named after a city or state isn't all that nice either. Remember that this child will have this name for the rest of her life.\nKids are mean, we all know this so why give them something to pick on right away? \nPeople nowadays want to give their child that unique name but sometimes I don't think the parents are really thinking about how names affect that person as he/she becomes older.\nThink about your child's place in this world before you saddle her with something unusual.\n\nResearch shows that children with unordinary names have more trouble adjusting at school. They are more likely to feel like the odd one out and are a possible target for bullies. An unusual name also turns out to have a negative effect on someone’s popularity, grades, mental health, and stress level at work.

Jesus doesn't have a Mexican name. Jesus (hey-sus) is just how it's pronounced in Spanish.
