Actually, we're both wrong. I said Jesus might have been a real person's name at that time. But no one used the English language at the time and place. And you've been shown to be wrong that Yeshua was a common name at that time. However, I will still grant you that there may have been multiple people at the time and place that had a name that sounded phoenetically sort-of like the name that xians now use for their god. But where does that leave you? That some real guy may have existed at that time and place with a similarly sounding phoentic name. I don't know where you could go with that or what value you'd ascribe to it.
