It suprises me that its hard to find a christian that can render sound judgement on vital christian matters.If you truely be a genueine christian,humility,fear, & holy reverence can never allow you to accept any name or title given to the creator & saviour of the world who bled & died to redeem mankind.

Even peter the apostle at the time he was to be crucified in matyrdom stated that he is not even worthy to be crucified in the same position as our saviour Jesus.He therefore requested the killers to crucify him upside down.In the old testament there were perfumes & certain things specially prepared & hallowed for the temple of God alone with a stern commandment from God himself that whosoever creates any such for he or herself should be put to death.(Ex.30:37,38).God by that was teaching godly reverence for the hallowed things of God.
The name Jesus is the "hallowed" name of the son of God & sinless saviour & creator of the whole world at which devils are subdued.It will only take a person fulfilling the desires of the devil to name that name on a sin prone man so that name can be mocked when that man falls into sin.

How bad it will be when a person bearing that name is caught in immorality or theft or other vises.People will ask shebi your name be Jesus.God forbid wickedness & hard heartedness in these last days sinful generation.The generation of the early christians hallowed that name so much they never named it on their children.A parent that presumptously does this will answer to God.This is my candid opinion.
