So, like, To go with more modern names, it'd be like some guy named Michael having a kid they named Braiden. In that particular time and place Yoseph was a super common name; as was Yeshua.

Which suggests there were many, many people named "Yeshua Bar Yoseph" which is part of the reason we have "Yeshua of Nazareth"

In fact, there was probably more than one Yeshua bar Yoseph from Nazareth, even if it was a small town. just like how there's Braiden, Brayden, Braeden, Braidyn. It's probably a good thing I'd never have kids because I'd name them all Zathras
