I feel the name fits one person only (
Jesus Christ), and no one else. It seems odd when people have the name I feel it's "too much" to live up to.
I think names that are in references to Him are better because it can give Him honour without using His real name.
The only titles I dislike being used are Savior, Sovereign,
King,
Christ, and Messiah they are way too much to live up to as well and I feel belong only to
Christ.
I think names like
Shiloh, and
Emmanuel (two of the many names I am using for Him) are perfectly usable among others like Shepherd,
Peace, Rock. They are in reference to
Christ, but in a gentle more suttle way then some other titles like the ones above.
