Which kind yeye thread be this? Is u like name him or her but be ready to loose the child 4days after the dedication.

Hello bro nobody asked you to read or comment, sort out your English pathetic slime.

murphyrichy: @ O.P do I hear you say ur pregnant girlfriend. I thought you are female.

i tire ooh

She can name her child Jesus. Actually, Jesus and Joshua mean the same thing. Jesus is the Greek word for "God saves", while Joshua is the Hebrew word.

But she should not add Christ to the name. There are many people that bear Jesus, which is not bad at all. But there is only one Christ. Jesus Christ! He's the Only Anointed One. He anoints others. So she should not name her child Christ.

The word "Christ" comes from the Greek translation of the Hebrew Messiah, which means "anointed". It became the name proper to Jesus ONLY because He accomplished PERFECTLY the divine mission that "Christ" signifies.

No comment i just dey pass. Wait a minute, are prophets not on divine mission also? Can u imagine someone giving birth out of wedlock (fornication to b precise) and still want to name after his "God". Hmm

lmao u really sabi ur pple. 1 igbo parent in my area gave their child facebook in igbo

@op, If u ask me, i'll say its a stup.id questn but if i must answa, i'll say Jesus is a name anyone could bear dats why He is specified as Jesus of Nazarreth but as to add Christ? u shuld ask d meaning of it first except d mother can stand d crusification of dat baby... Abi name don finish for una village or lineage ni?

murphyrichy: @ O.P do I hear you say ur pregnant girlfriend. I thought you are female.

Even if she is a female, does that mean she can't have a pregnant girlfriend? It may be her female friend who is married.

dnt even tink of it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in naming your child "Jesus". In some parts of the world, the name is common. Its only here in Niger-area that...

There is no problem in that, the problem is the source of the child (whether blessed with marriage or bastard). As per ur own case, naming him Jesus or not is helpless because the child is not blessed with marriage. You can call him whatever you like, thats your problem.

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.[/quote]Thus says the Juju himself.

Guy u harsh o.
I feel you... But it could av been put better.
Let me rephrase
@op
why would your girlfriend consider naming her unborn child Jesus Christ?
Does the child's father has a say in the naming of the child or not?

Do that child av a father at all, if Christ is to be his surname

i pray GOD Forbid bad thing, if any one lost his or her mother , if the person visit nairaland he or she will laugh . the most funny website in the world. i love this site

Mamacita007: you can name ur child Jesus but dont add Christ to his name becos ur baby isnt a savior. Hispanics bear jesus not Jesus Christ

hw wud u knw,as long as God has nt done vasectomy, can't he decide to hv anoda child?

.

Nothing is wrong with it. If 'CHRIST' means messiah. There could be many messiahs.
Family messiah
Community messiah
Political messiah
State or country messiah even
Continent messiah.

orgasticdance: ok past.T thats sacred, but can i name my unborn twins alpha and omega

Funny, do u know what Alpha n Omega means? It means A n Z, or beginning n end, so why not. It is not what u call ur child per se, it is the meaning attached to that name.
But why would u want to call ur child those names, there must be reasons?

You can call your child Jesus but adding Christ is blasphemy

We take God's Image not his son's name !

if u name him Jesus Christ where ur name as him surname go come enter na?

It's not naming the child 'Jesus Christ' that is absurd. It is the reason ur friend gave for wanting to give her child the name, 'so that people won't hurt him'. The real Jesus himself was persecuted and killed. Go figure.

naming ur child jesus will mount unnecessary pressure on him when growing up.what if he doesn't live a jesus kind of life and be subjected to a life time of mockery. .......I bet he will change the name when he is wise enough.
