pronounced Chris (he was Greek).
There was a handwritten sign in the back room which said:
“All Returns Must Be Approved By Brad or Christ”

The jokes we cracked about doing returns were endless.

"Trinity" takes the cake--three in one.

Ran into a student first name Yahweh once--some school activity where classes were scrambled and I got some arbitrary chunk of a roster put under my tutelage to have them complete paperwork for something. Or other. Wasn't ever in a class I taught. Fortunately.

It's no more peculiar than the Hispanic name Jesús. There was also the American, James Jesus Angleton, who was once the chief of CIA Counterintelligence. Muslims often name their sons after the prophet Mohammed.

"Our Father who art in heaven, Harold be they name..."

There's a hypothesis that it's the source for "Jesus H. Christ".
