Actually, you are quite wrong. We did NOT swallow that. BTW - in my humble opinion (irregardless of the translation choice) - the "Christ" part of the name "Jesus Christ" is not really a name. Jesus is a name, Christ is a title. Many people are still named Jesus in Latin countries - nobody (nobody sane, that is) has or takes on the title Christ.

IesouV CristoV IS THE ONLY NAME THAT THE TRANSLATORS DESTROY
In several passages of the New Testament we have the two names of our Savior and Lord:
Hebrews 13:8 ihsouV cristoV cqeV kai shmeron o autoV kai eiV touV aiwnaV
The name ihsouV represents the flesh nature of our savior while the name cristoV is his divine nature

Here are some references to the pagan belief that the Jews worshipped an ass:
"When the Jews were conducting a war against the Idumeans a long time ago, there was a certain man in one of the Idumean cities called Dorii who used to worship Apollo there and who came to the Jews (he said his name was Zabidos) and then promised to hand over to them Apollo, the God of the Dorians, and that he would come to our temple, if they all withdrew. The whole population of the Jews believed him. Zabidos in fact made a wooden contraption which he placed around himself, he fasted to it three rows of lamps and walked about in such a way that he appeared to those standing at a distance to be like stars travelling upon the earth. The Jews, stunned by this strange sight, remained at a distance keepings till, but Zabidos, completely untroubled, sneaked into the sanctuary, tore off the golden head of the pack-ass, so he wittily writes, and went off quickly back to Dora" (Mnaseus, in Josephus, Contra Apionem 2.112-114).
"For Apion dared to assert that in this shrine the Jews had set up the head of an ass, and worshipped that animal, considering it worthy of the greatest reverence. He claims that this was revealed when Antiochus Epiphanes plundered the temple and discovered this head, made of gold and worth a considerable sum of money" (Josephus, Contra Apionem 2.80).
"But those who relate that Typhon's flight from the battle was made on the back of an ass and lasted for seven days, and that after he had made his escape, he became the father of sons, Hierosolymus and Judaeaus, are manifestly, as the names show, attempting to draw Jewish traditions into the legend" (Plutarch, Isis et Osiris 31).
"He [Damocritus] wrote a work On Jews in which he states that they used to worship an asinine golden head" (Suda, 1.531).
And this was transferred to Christians:
"Here is a new blasphemy against our God which the people pass from mouth to mouth. Not long ago, in this very town, an unmitigated scoundrel (a renegade from his own religion and who is only a Jew through the hurt which his own skin has undergone), exhibited a cartoon against us with this inscription: Onochoetes. It represented a personage with the ears of an ass, a cloak, a book, a cloven foot. And the crowd of people who believe this rascally Jew!... There is only talk of Onochoetes throughout the town" (Tertullian, ad Nationes 1.14).
The Palatine graffito is informed by these traditions about Jews worshipping that animal; it does not have anything to do with the spelling of Jesus' name.
