I think I understood it just fine, although the allusion to English was incorrect. I should have said "other languages".
I think it's still safe to assume that this man was from a Spanish-speaking culture. Both Jesus and Manuel are common names in Spanish, but are not in Sweden.

This is silly, just call him "hey suse"
To: twigs
Okay, but this happened in Sweden. And don't you think the name "Jesus" in Swedish would sound exactly the same as the Savior Jesus' name in Swedish would sound?
The Spanish say Jesus... "Hey-Zeus" for both the name and the Savior. Just like when people say Jesus in English, it could be the name, or the Savior. Same problem, all around.

Jesus, who will now use his middle name Manuel, said he didn't have a problem with the change. And that should just about be the end of it.

The Alou family has had enough professional ball players to field an entire team.
There's Felipe, Moises (not Moses), Matty and Jesus.
There may be others, or more in the future.

I knew a guy named Juan that pronounced his name with a hard J. I pronounced it the right way and he told me that was not the way his family pronounced it, they pronounce it Jah-wan. I wanted to ask him, 'Just how stupid is your family?'

Maybe I am dense, but why would people associate "Jesus is coming soon" with their own individual death?
To: Elyse
And let's not forget the immortal "Don Juan" of Lord Byron, in which Juan is pronounced Jew-en.

When have hospital staff ever referred to a co-worker by name, when speaking to a patient?
This is pure B.S.!
It's always been "The nurse will be right with you".

Jesus is coming, everybody look busy!
To: Jane_N
According to Jesus, an auxiliary nurse at Huddinge hospital, his superiors were worried that patients told "Jesus will be coming soon ," might get the wrong idea.
Now that's funny!

This is nothin'. A few years ago I was at the restaurant Commander's Palace in N.O. and actually served by a waiter named "Jihad."

Pronounced like "HEY ZUES!".
Or do what we do when addressing my brother-in-law "Hey Suzy!".

You could be right. I didn't realize that from the article. Just because it said Stockholm, I didn't assume Sweden. After all, I live near Moscow. Pennsylvania.
