if some people bears the name "Emmanuel" which means GOD with us why would bearing the name "Christ" which means the Massiah or saviour be blasphemy.

No big deal in this: Don Trump's grandmother was Elizabeth Christ and his father was named Fred Christ Trump.
They were originally from Germany so no South American connection there.

lol why would anyone want to?

Okija_juju: @OP

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.

Bro, it's the other way round- Jesus means 'Messiah' while Christ means 'anointed'

@op, Jesus, fine. Jesus Christ? mba! There is only one name above every other name. That name is 'Jesus Christ!'

just call d guy jesus and make his second name christian....as he grows he would be called jesus christ....mission accomplished

there are only 2 things that can befall the child.
1. he becomes a laughing stock in class and there by hates himself
2. he becomes a big target for boko haram.
so think wisely.

You fwend is crazy.......she should try amadioha....no folk would even near her child with that.

Did you just stagger out from a beer parlor

na u get d pikin na! If u like name am PAPA GOD ALMIGHTY, if u fail to train and give that child a proper mindset, the child will still have issues.

Imagine this...."Jesus" come back here!
"Jesus"u are too stuborn
"Jesus"I will make sure I beat u
"Jesus"wat are u doing with a porn

mumu nigerians. see them telling you not to do it but jesus is ok. If the spanish don't name their children jesus, these same mumus will be telling you not to call him jesus. Yeye people. Follow follow oyibo even for naming your own children. Aaaaahh!!

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.
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.

Naming your child Jesus Christ to drive away evil spirits won't work.

What works is believing and receiving Christ into your life,studying and knowing His word and using the authority given to you in Christ by His words.

There can only be one 'Christ'.You may name your child Jesus if you so wish.

MEILYN:
Jesus not Jesus Christ.....
All This people praying in the name of 'jesus', dey have been praying in the name of a man like dem, it is supposed to be in the name of 'Jesus Christ'

whether u pray in Jesus in name or u say Jesus christ it makes no difference, for as long as u know who u refer to...christ wasnt his surname, christ simply means the anointed...shikena...it doesnt
make ur prayers less answered if u say Jesus or Jesus christ wen u pray

...i wonder why people talk about christ like its a mystery word specially sent from heaven specially for Jesus and nobody has heard or understood d meanin before Jesus came...christ simply means the anointed...it wasnt his surname...duh... is it still gonna b bad if i replace d hebrew word christ wit d anointed?

cyclops4real: my pregnant girlfriend ur profile says female, u na les?

Olodo... Go to dictionary and know what "girlfriend" means...you think the word girlfriend or boyfriend is all about lovers?

girlfriend [ˈgɜːlˌfrɛnd] n

1. a female friend with whom a man or boy is romantically or sexually involved; sweetheart

2. any female friend

@op Yes... You can name your child Jesus just like muslims that name their children Yeesa(isa), he's a human being who was given a prophet hood duty.

well if the person like she can call her baby jesus but dose the baby has the same tremendous power my JESUS carries, can her own jesus raise the dead？

NairaFeast:

People answer 'Jesus' but I have not seen someone with the name 'Jesus Christ'

People bear "Jesus" with a lil mark on the "e" being pronunced "Jayzeus"

I'm yet to find someone bearing Jesus!

Some parents no de try at all. U want to giv ur child a name dat will make him uncomfortable all the time wen he grows up. I no blame girls wey sabi change their names wen dem enter higher institutions.

Adrenaline123:

spongeback:
What is this drunk saying

op, u made the mistake first. U would have narrated the story in such a way that will make it clear that your are referring to a friend of yours who's married and pregnant. And that she was a muslim who recently converted to christainity.
In that case, you wount be replying every comment to give additional information.
I got the impression, like everyone else, that u were male and impregnated a girl and the girl now wants to name the child jesus christ.
@topic, as for me, what's in a name? Bush, dogg, steel, iron, jack robinson are all names.

There is a spanish player that bears "jesus" without any addings...this is a costume name in the spanish world

Jesús Navas González (Spanish pronunciation: [xeˈsuz ˈnaβaz ɣon ˈθaleθ]; born 21 November 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester City. A right winger, his main assets are his quick dribbling and an ability to run at opposing defenders.

Jesus is ok bt dnt add christ! My brother wanted to name his daughter heaven bt I kicked against it but now I ve babies wt Heaven as their names...

So name don finish 4 dis life abi, ok na name am mgbeke or okpo, if u no see name agan, onye uwa

shejane: So name don finish 4 dis life abi, ok na name am mgbeke or okpo, if u no see name agan, onye uwa

For your mind you've made a reasonable comment

In my opinion name him either Jesus or Christ... ..Not both cos each is radical enough on its own in our society. Naming him Jesus Christ will be taking it a bit too far. By the way, is she certain it's gonna be a boy?
