Dear Jeannie,
Are you by any chance getting married soon, well if you are CONGRATULATIONS, but as I am, thinking about what naming a son Jesus, I think it is wrong, because, we can't of course take our Lord's name, with a human being, but you can name him after like a saints name, which is a blessing, that's all I would like to say, and I agree with Monica, I haven't heard about that idea before! I think you should ask your Father of Confession, or the priest at your church!

Why would Muslim's name their son Jesus. This makes no sense. It's like Christians namin their son Mohammed. WHY??

Mexican people use Jesus as a name all the time.......Its common to that race.....

Dear Conqueror,
Mexicans believe in God though, they have pictures of Jesus and Saint Mary, they have necklaces of Saint Mary, I mean that's common to Coptic Christian! Just had to say that!

well i still believe its wrong because lets say you name someone after a saint, you are hoping for them to be, lets say, as holy as them. how on earth can you name them after Lord and SAVIOUR, Jesus CHRIST?? its just plain wrong, even for us christians... sry if i offended anyone...

if u know wat jesus mean? i know but in arabic it's like joshua as well so the israelites' ppl had that name and that's y the Christ was named like it and also the word Christ is said 2 those kings in the old testament it means the annointed 1? so!

Christ4Life

Exactly. You have just said it yourself. The Isralites and the Old Testament. BEFORE Christ had lightened the earth with his feet. Before his birth and his death, not after.

Muslims think Jesus is a prophet I think so it is like Christians calling their son Isaiah, Jeremiah, David, or John the Baptist etc
But of course He is more than that He is the very LORD of Hosts Himself the LORD God Almighty King and Saviour

Muslims try to do that here in EGYPT, and they won't find a baby to name! ;D ;D

Very strange...how can that happen?


Oh well....whatever...as we say in Egypt here "eshna we shoofna" ;D ;D


It seems like they're "Neo-Muslims" like the new age freaks that call themselves Christians...

But it's normal for them to be called "Ieesa", the Muslim's name for the "Prophet" Jesus (Glory be to his Name)...
