why don’t Christians name their kids Jesus more often?

I mean, Muhammad is the most common name in the Muslim world, but Jesus is practically unheard of as a first name outside of Central America. I find it particularly unusual because so many other biblical names are pretty common as first names for Christians and Jews.

Many Christians find it disrespectful. Basically, you’d be using the same name to yell at your kid as you do to address the creator of the universe in prayer. Other biblical names are different because you aren’t currently addressing any of them and they’re human not God so it’d be a different level of respect regardless. (Note: this applies only to Protestant Christianity).
