Actually, lots of people are named Jesus. For real.
 
Fun fact: the Old Testament property said “He shall be called Emmanuel”.
He wasn’t.

It said a lot of things; last time I looked there was no Bethlehem in
Judea until about 60 AD  ...but there WAS one in Galilee which
translates to Jesus having been a Samaritan.

That's a a claim I had not heard before.  I'd be interested in
seeing a reconcilation between that claim and the following
references:

- Judges 17:7-9
- Judges 19:1-2,18
- Ruth 1:1-2 (and others in Ruth)
- 1 Samuel 16:1,4, 16:18, 17:12,15,58, etc.
- 2 Samuel 23:14-16,24
- 1 Chronicles 11:16-18,26
- Jeremiah 41:17
- Micah 5:2

At least some of the above are reasonably specific about a
Bethlehem in Judea rather than Galilee.

Thanks.
