In this case, the name I'm curious about is "Jesus Christ". We have a more than a few people w/ decent religious/theological training here, so I thought I'd ask...
Is there any significance or meaning to the names "Jesus" or "Christ" at the time he was born? Meaning, could he have been name "Bob Clark" or "Ahmed Hussein" or whatever?
I always thought that "Christ" had a specific meaning or reason for being his name but that "Jesus" was just a random name.
At any rate, I'd appreciate any help with this.

*I don't care what you're opinion of JC is or if you're an atheist or a Catholic or whatever, so don't go down that road of discussion.
