How could "Jesus" be a historical figure when the name didn't exist until the 16th or 17th Century?  

Peter's Aramaic name was Simon and later Kepha (rock). Later, it became Petros (Greek for rock) and finally Peter in English. Pierre in French, I think.

Mary was probably Miriam in Aramaic.

Jesus' name was Yeshua in Aramaic...which eventually became Jesus in modern English.

Is that your PRIMARY reason for rejecting Christianity?
