I know it sounds funny in English, but Jihad is just a regular name. Even some Christian Lebanese call their sons Jihad, because they take it in the general term "striving" rather than Holy War. I am slightly acquainted with a Maronite family, and they are really Islam-phobic, and one of the men is called Jihad. It gives me the giggles.
