It's a nice name, but maybe an unfair expectation on the child. I'd consider it too sacred to use.

out of curiositywould you consider Joshua too "sacred" to use, in the same line of reasoning? It is def. too sacred for my use but I know lots of people forgive it because of popularity.

Ironically no. It has been varied enough in my opinion away from the original.

Well, Joshua and Jesus are both variant transcriptions of Yeshua. Would you say Jesus has been varied enough from the original to be usable?

No because it is the term I use to refer to the Christ where Joshua is not. They say Yeshua is the closest we can come to the original name, so that would also be too sacred for use.
