Christ isn't his name; it's a title.
At the risk of sounding like someone who's spent too long on
religious newsgroups (true: many years so far), and has next to no
sense of humour (also true), yes, 'Christ' is indeed a title,
strictly speaking.
When you get right down to it, so is "God"....r
So what's His name?
There are nine billion of them, apparently, but you wouldn't want to
say them all out loud.

That couldn't be written now - no more trek with a vast computing
device required; just a PDA from Amazon. Although it seems to me
that the printing could prove a problem. I suppose it didn't matter
how small the printing of the Names was, so you could get perhaps
1000 on a page. 9 billion at 1000 per page is 9 million pages of A4.
4.5 million if you print double sided. That's quite a lot of toner.

Even if you could squeeze 10,000 Names on a page, that's still 450,000
pages of A4.
You sound so much like my husband, it's uncanny.
Wife says the same about me and her father. Engineers, you see.

Heh! I recently "discovered" http://www.thinkgeek.com and their
products. You reminded me of one of them, a "DotCom", which is a
3-inch diameter button, one of which says "You know you're an engineer
if you have no life & can prove it mathematically."

I have asked my wife for an "equalizer" T-shirt for Christmas.

Yep. I've been on their mailing list for some years.
