Why Don't Nigerian(African) Christians Name Their Children Jesus? by tintingz(m): 6:55am On Nov 26, 2012
Jesus is a common name among the western world especialy in Spanish-speaking countries. Issa, Arabic for Jesus, is also a common name. as is the Hebrew original, Yeshua, in Israel.
Why is that Nigerian(African) Christians don't name their children Jesus while Muslims name their children Mohammed even the Hindus name their children Krishna same goes to the Greeks Zeus...
Is it blasphemous to name your child Jesus in Christianity?
