      In Spanish language places a lot of people are called jesus, in Islamic places a lot of people are called Mohammed. I’m not saying i think it is a normal thing to do, but history disagrees with me. People have been name-dropping any way they can for ages now.

      Constantly. Most Roman Emperors adopted the names of previous Emperors to show how part of the ‘imperial family’ they were.
