My girl friend wants to call our soon to be born baby 'Jesus'. Do you think this is OK?

Ha! So not believable but I will play along.

Are you hispanic. Jesus is not an uncommon boys baby name in hispanic cultures.

But if you against the idea, for a boy, try Joshua and for a girl try Jesusa or Josune (both feminine variants of Jesus)

i think of that's form of ill that your female buddy had a new child as a fashion to get kicked out of her abode....and what's the % for greater toddlers now? You adult men are youthful...and in basic terms considering the fact which you have adequate money,this is plenty greater perfect than maximum young toddlers conceiving those days, yet...that has no longer something to do with one in each and every of those dad and mom you're and how issues are going to decide for you interior the destiny. You adult men might desire to decelerate and take time to construct a existence for yourselves previously you carry much greater toddlers into this. You adult men have a protracted existence in basic terms before you...there is not any might desire to hurry issues! Your female buddy (fiance) isn't loopy and that i'm no longer asserting that there is something incorrect with the way you adult men are coping with issues yet...i'm in basic terms thinking approximately your gf's intentions, as you stated that the 1st teenagers have been a fabricated from your female buddy's want for independence. in basic terms think of on the subject of the destiny greater beneficial than the present and attempt to make the terrific selection....

personally i would never call my child jesus. people forget how cruel children can be i can imagine your child coming home from school in tears because she was being bullied,

i believe that religioshouldn'tn't be forced upon children i think that they should be able to make their own mind up on what beliefs they have. and with the up most respect naming your baby girl jesus is definatly forcing religion upon her which isn't fair

many parents parents push their children into having the same views/beliefs and opionions as themselves. but when you bring a child into this world you bring a "new life" not a clone of what already exsists.

i have nothing against religion or and religious people, i just strongly beleive that nowadays it is thrust upon you and is no longer your choice.

please dont force your unborn child to endure years or torment and torture at school. name her something different.

If you're Hispanic and pronouncing it "hay-zeus" then it's okay, though rather common. But if you're any other ethnicity and/or are pronouncing it "jee-zus", I would say it's a big no.

Edit: Okay, well Jesus for a girl is just dumb all over. I don't know how else to put that.

i'm not a christian but many of my friends are :)

jesus is a big NO-NO. don't christians have a rule or something on not naming kids with the same name as god... it just doesn't seem right to name your kids after gods...

there are other biblical names...

such as

Jacob (very common after twilight)

Aaron

Jonah (so cute on a little boy ^_^)

Adam

etc etc

I think it's pretty cruel on the kid, no matter what nationality/race you are. THere will always be someone to mock the kid's name - ALWAYS. Religious people may shun him, non-religious will laugh. In general - names like that are a big-no-no.

There is THOUSANDS of names out there.

You would have better luck naming your little boy "Sue" or "Alice".

Seriously.

I think it's an ugly name, just as a name in itself. No dig at Religion or anything, it's just not a pretty name.

Religiously - people might think the parents are stuck-up, righteous or unworthy. Others might interoperate it as showing your faith and love for your religion.

It's all up to individual perception.

I see nothing wrong, i knew a guy named jesus

It's completely normal if you have Spanish heritage. Less usual in English-speaking countries.
