Jesus is just a name. But Christ is just one person. Christ is the son of the Living God 35 Likes 1 Share |

tayooluwole:Please don't. I'm not saying this out of fear but for the ignorance of the society we live in. Names are only what they are; names but in our society certain things would earn you scorn for no reason but pure ignorance. 12 Likes |

Jesus is not just a name. Exodus 20: 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Phillipians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 88 Likes 8 Shares |

Prdo: I know a lot of white people that bears jesus and yet, they never live to regret that they bears d name. I don't know y the case should be opposite in Nigeria... I really wish to name my child after the saviour but will it go down well with the christians ? It may be controversial, but there is no going back 7 Likes 1 Share |

tayooluwole:Depends on your mindset. If you can handle all the "attacks" from the overly religious people in Nigeria who will accuse you of "trying to equate yourself or your child with the Almighty God", then you can go ahead. But if you are one of those that easily get influenced by what others think about you, then it would probably not be a good idea. 9 Likes 1 Share |

@OP these are the kind of people you have to be weary of: Prdo:Please tell me, does every knee bow at the name of Jesus Navas of Spain, or Jesus Gonzalez of Mexico? The anointing is with the person if Jesus Christ, not just the name Jesus. Actually the name "Christ" means "the Anointed One and His Anointing". And funny enough these same people'll not have any qualms about naming their children Emmanuel, Joshua, etc 41 Likes 5 Shares |

I once asked a pastor this particular question and his response was "there is nothing wrong with that, but you should accompany the name with Christ" |

I personally do not think it is a sin. People may not want to name their children "Jesus" out of reverence for the Saviour. 2 Likes |

Why not? After all we have people named after our Prophet Muh'd(S.A.W) and other prophets. Afterall, no one wants to name his child after satan. 4 Likes 1 Share |

No, but for the mentality of our people, don't. charix: exactly. I remember a cousin of mine during his child's naming ceremony wanted to christen his son after himself, for example Carey jnr. Everybody and his Uncle were totally against it saying naming him Junior means he will always be a junior to others in every position he finds himself throughout his life. my cousin named him after himself anyway but the Jnr title was dropped. 2 Likes |
