What do you think of Jesus Christ for a boys name?

Question

my girlfriend is pregnant and we know its a boy.

we're white so i dont mean like Hey-Sues

Christ would be his middle name do he would still have my last name

Answer 1

i think he will be a total pimp.

Answer 2

I usually wouldn't answer a troll, but I'd like to say that naming your child Jesus Christ is as offensive to a practicing Christian as naming your child Cohen is to a practicing Jew. =/

Answer 3

Its alright...a lil too religious for my taste though.  

Answer 4

are you serious?

Answer 5

Never. If somebody did something and said 'Jesus Christ' he would look over and say "yes, what do you want"

Answer 6

ROFLMAO!  

Answer 7

I know you may be trying to honor Jesus, and that's great, but it is EXTREMELY disrespectful. There is only one Jesus Christ

Answer 8

(thoughts)....he probably won't live very long...

keep him away from the Romans

Answer 9

It's just a name. Still, he'd probably get teased a lot, so it's a horrible thing to do to a child.  

Answer 10

thats really disrespectful...

Answer 11

I agree with due March, not very nice.

Answer 12

NO!

Do you want your child to get teased?

You've got to be joking.

Answer 13

Thats sooooo disrespectful! You're pretty much calling yourself God.

Answer 14

I think its insanely disrespectful even if you aren't religious.  

Answer 15

to one of the answers

how do you know there has only been one jesus christ? Jesus was a popular name back in the day like Bob or John or Aiden is today.

Christ could have been a common surname, no one really knows now do they?

The parents of Jesus Christ could have as easily named the child Matthew Whatever and then naming your present day sons matthew would be a "sin" in some peoples eyes..

Answer 16

well, he would certainly have alot to live up to

Answer 17

You may not mean it this way, but I think it would be disrespectful.

How about Jesse Christopher?

Answer 18

Jesus Christ!  What a name!

My God, I hope you're joking!

:)

You are, aren't you?  That name worked well for one person, but it wouldn't work so well for anyone else.  First of all, it's extremely disrespectful.  Second, anytime someone makes a mistake, steps in dog poo, or slams their finger a in a door, do you want them to be yelling your son's name?

If you like the meaning of the name, how about Joshua Christian?  Joshua means the same thing as Jesus (they're from the same Hebrew name), and Christian means "Christ-follower."

Answer 19

I think that is on the list of forbidden names... kinda lie Adolf hitler

plus not to mention how completely disrespectful it is to Christians and even none Christians

Plus would you want to mock God in that kind of way?

Answer 20

I don't believe you are serious about the name but I can say this  I wouldn't ! That poor kid would take a lot of flak  over the years



How about something more appropriate  like

Christian Joseph

James Christian  

Answer 21

that wouldnt be good

1) your child wouldnt be able to live up to Jesus

2) its really disrepectful

3) could really hurt him in the long run, and he'll hate you for naming him that

Answer 22

I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but I believe that only the real Jesus Christ should be given that name.  The Bible says that He was given the name above all names, and I don't believe anyone else should be named His name.

Answer 23

might be a lot for the little guy to live up to :)

Answer 24

You can't be serious...

Answer 25

Its a cool idea

Answer 26

Please don't. Do you think your child would like to be named that?  

Answer 27

how about Jeshua (same meaning as Jesus) or Joshua (also same meaning as Jesus)

Answer 28

This is sort of fanatical, don't you think?

Imagine how it's going to sound when you call him from across the room?  When his TEACHERS from across the room?

It's disrespectful because your making His name commonplace.  If you want your child to become very unique and Christian, just raise him to be so.

Answer 29

There is only one Jesus Christ and he is the son of the living God so do not name your son Jesus Christ because GOD in heaven would not like that.  

Answer 30

Are you trying to be funny..?

Answer 31

love it.

Lol

I don't understand peoples issue with it.

I doubt this great person people always mention that did such great things was even called Jesus.
