Re: who invented the name Jesus?
The chrestos / christos part definitely was secondary, now you mention it it would be fun to dig through the NT for that as well! I'll throw in (holy) Spirit as well, could be fun, especially when we take the church fathers along with all that But if all we have is NS how can we know if the author ...

Re: Jesus / Christ in all of the NT: Matthew and Mark
Would Theosoteros be right though? Just checking my grasp of Greek.

Re: who invented the name Jesus?
Kind of begs the question of why they used the NS IE but wrote out the title Chrestou in full though.

Re: who invented the name Jesus?
It looks like Cora's premise that Marcion used Isu is flawed. From our own DCHindley. I will probably regret doing this, but here is something I wrote on the subject in 2014: Christos = anointed. Chrestos = "good," or "useful." It was Dan Mahar, in the pdf of his English Translat...

If both were personal names, they would not be reversible (Marcus Antonius, never Antonius Marcus...
