Good point, should have said that. I figured topic is Hispanic sort of narrowed it down some. My mistake.

I dislike hearing of people named Jesus, Mohammed(sp?), Ali, etc...

It's like.. What gives YOU the right to name YOUR child after your religious figure. Why is your child worthy?
It's straight up disrespectful. Of course if you don't believe in that particular religion, then you have no reason to care. If a atheist named their son Jesus, just because they like the name, thats fine with me.

By that logic most of the "good" people in holy texts would be disrespectful. Like Mary, for instance.
