There's no blasphemy in it.Its just that such names aren't so common here.The Mexicans and Spanish name their kids "Jesus".

You can name your child 'Jesus'. This is the hellenised form of Iosus, another form of Iosua which is from Yeshua (now pronounced Joshua in english)

As for the Christ part, i dont think it's okay as a christian since your child is obviously not the Messiah as in the one who takes away the sins of the world.

Name your child anything.

A name follows its owner.

@OP

I don't think there is anything wrong in this.. Reason:

Jesus is actually a Hebrew name that is originally spelt and pronounced as Yeshua, meaning Deliverer or Rescuer.. Many Hispanics also name their children Jesus pronounces 'ye sue'. So no biggie here.

Now Christ is not a name per se but an adjective that qualifies Jesus. That's why the bible would have passages where Jesus was asked ' are you the Christ'. This is because Christ simply means 'messiah', hence the referring to Jesus as Jesus the Christ.

So if your friend chooses to name her child Jesus Christ, it's not a problem at all. The name wasn't what made Jesus who he was.

Jesus is appropriate as a name for your unborn child. Adding Christ will make it seem as if you are dragging equality with God.

She isn't Igbo but a converted Muslim, she feels the name will drive away evil spirits.

You people bother too much about unimportant things. 'Jesus' or 'Christ', it all has meaning, even if it doesn't... All Join.
@OP- you can name whosoever whatever, I don't care...
Messiah
Saviour
Anointed one
Only one
Even 'God'...
I think 'Almighty God' wld serve for her (ur girlfrnd) purpose better. #justThinking
