What do you think about names like Christian, Jesus, Mohammad?

Asked by JLeslie (65433points) July 1st, 2011

Especially names like Jesus and Christian are odd to me. I actually really like most of the biblical names, but Jesus, well, I figure there was just one. Christian is the name of a religion, I just can’t not think that when I hear it.

I figure maybe to Christians, or in the case of Mohammad, Muslims, the names are just normal like Jennifer and Joe? Or, at minimum like Paul and Sarah? Just another biblical name?

Maybe it matters how common the name is where you live. I had never heard the name Christian or Jesus until my 20’s I think? Although, I do have a family member named Noel, our side of the family is Jewish, so that was odd at the time we thought. But, Christmas does not flash in my mind when I say it or see him.
