Shalom, Doug: As it happens, I share your belief in Jesus, but I have to second what Yigal says. There are other forums for discussing our faith.
As for the New Testament "name" statements you mentioned, the original meaning, based on both Hebrew/Aramaic which forms their background and Greek usage, corresponds more to "person", "character/nature", etc., rather than "name" in the English sense of what we call someone. Feel free to write me off-list if you want to discuss this further.
