Okay, this is a question I've had for awhile...

What do you think of people who name their kid Jesus? I think it is extraordinarily sacriligious and...I dunno...disrespectful? I, personally, find it offensive. I'm sorry, but your child is NOT God, nor is he the son of God.

I wanted to say something along these lines. Everyone's been saying that the name was common before "the" Jesus, but there's an undeniable connection to that particular bearer of the name. There were probably millions of Adolfs before Hitler (not to compare Jesus to Hitler in any way. lol.) but who is the first person you think of when you hear the name?

It's not like anybody gives a child one of these names and says, "Who? Oh, wow. I don't think I've ever heard of them..."
