The name Mohammad is given to sons to show respect. Why is the name Jesus not given the same respect?

Many cultures pass on names of those they wish to show respect to. The Muslim community pass on the name Mohamad more than Christians do with the name of Jesus. This name respect is lacking in the Christian cultures.

I think it is due to the fact that none in the Abrahamic cults can justify Yahweh/Jesus’ genocide of mankind.

Yahweh’s son Jesus has not been deemed worthy of respect for moral reasons. Christians recognize the imperfections and agree with the ostracising of the name Jesus. Hence their not passing on the name and showing disrespect. Jesus is as unworthy to literal reading people in the myriad of Christian cults, as is Yahweh.

Are the myriad of Christian and Catholic cults showing a lack of respect for the name of Jesus as compared to the respect Muslims show the name Mohammad?

I know lots of Jesus's lol

must be in the wrong part of the country

In the Spanish speaking world its perfectly fine to name your son "HEY! Zeus" (Jesus).

In the English speaking world that's considered blasphemy.

But the English speaking world does have zillions of boy, and girl names, like Christopher, Christine, Kirsten, Kristen, that are derived from the word "Christ".

I rarely met local male Christians with the name "Yasouh" either (about 40% of population are Christians here), local Saint names are way more common like : Charbel, Anthony, Elias, Maroun, Yaacoub....etc.

A fundamental difference between Mohammad and Jesus, Jesus is seen as the religion in flesh by Christians; while Mohammad is seen as a human prophet.
For instance, a Muslim sunni (my neighbor) told me how he went to pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and he tried to bow on one knee in front of Mohammad's claimed burial place to recite a certain prayer (Al kursi) , as it is a common tradition done to the dead relatives - he got slapped by the religious saudi guard there, telling him it's a so un-islamic act because Mohammad shouldn't be treated divinely.
So it seems that praying to the dead and offering flowers on the graveyards....are old remnant Christian traditions, probably passed from Christians ancestors among some Muslim communities (like in Syria and Lebanon) because none of the Gulf countries practice those and are even seen un-islamic by them.

For that, I think Jesus is to equated to the name "Islam", not to the name of Mohammad, Islam is a very rare female name among the muslim communities.

Early New England was chock full of Hebrew prophets and prophetesses -- thousands of Samuels and Isaacs and Jeremiahs and Ezekiels and Zechariahs and Abrahams and Abigails and Rachels and Sarahs. I'm a descendant of a long line of Zechariahs, in fact. But never a Jesus, to be sure.

You are incorrect about nobody getting named Jesus.

Lots of people of Hispanic/Latino Mexican and South American heritage are indeed named Jesus. Jesus is a popular name in Mexico and the US southwest. It's spelled Jesus, pronounced "hehzuuss". And yes that IS the "same name." They pronounce it differently simply because of the Spanish soft J. It's the same name.
