Yes I remember seeing a Dateline or some such program about him years ago (easily 15 or 20) he was a very militant demagogue type.
Here in UK Jesus is not a common name.
The first time I heard of anyone with that name other than Christ was a children's entertainer at the hotel we were staying at in Spain.
My daughter came from the play area with a large flower painted on her arm. I asked her who did it and she replied "Jesus". It felt very strange to be using that name on a real live person.
When I told witnesses in UK the children's entertainer was called Jesus they thought it was blasphemous and should not be allowed!
Many bible names have a form of Jehovah imbedded in them
Isaiah
Jehoshua
I was reading a local paper in CT about 10 years ago wherein an African American woman named Jehovah was pictured in an article. The elders thought it must have been a mistake because Jehovah wouldn't allow His name to be used by a mere mortal.
How about JayZ, who calls himself Hovah.
