Fixed, and it's quite possible. Interestingly, I've been told that the Hebrew version of "Joshua" is closely related to the Greek version of "Jesus" - mind you, that is not to say that the two are equivalent - at least certainly not in English.

I believe it's Yeshua. The Greek's added an 's' on the end because they apparently do that a lot with names. I'm not completely sure on this one but I don't think the Greek's have an 'sh' sound so they just changed it to 's.'

BTW... what is some people's fascination with naming their children "Seven"? I just don't get it. I've spoken with people who think that it is the coolest, most clever name ever but it doesn't mean anything.

Or how about celebrities that name their children crap like Apple and Pilot Inspektor. :roll:
