Jesus is also pronounced Jesus in Spanish, so Jesus and Jesus really are the same (Make sense of that!)
However, in my experience, nobody (at least in Venezuela) thinks it odd that their friend is named Jesus. My name's John, and nobody thinks of the apostle. What of all the Matthews, the Marks?
To American ears, Jesus may seem odd simply because it's one Biblical name that never made it into common usage. On the other hand, there is nobody named Christian in South America...
