I call them by their given birth names, not the names of Greek mythology.
“Jesus” is a Greek transliteration of an acronym ‘YSHU’ from a Rabbinical curse on Yeshua: Yimach Shimo Uezichro, which means “Let his name be forgotten and never remembered.”
Since repeating that absurd curse dishonors my Lord, I do not speak it.

Do you have some sources for that etymology?
9 εἶπεν δὲ Μωυσῆς τῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐπίλεξον σεαυτῷ ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς καὶ ἐξελθὼν παράταξαι τῷ Αμαληκ αὔριον καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἕστηκα ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ βουνοῦ καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρί μουwhich translates in the KJV as follows:
10 καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς καθάπερ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Μωυσῆς καὶ ἐξελθὼν παρετάξατο τῷ Αμαληκ καὶ Μωυσῆς καὶ Ααρων καὶ Ωρ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ τὴν κορυφὴν τοῦ βουνοῦ

9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.So unless you're willing to say the translators of the LXX were putting this same curse acronym on Joshua the Son of Nun, then you have no case. Because as between Jesus and Joshua, the two forms in Greek are identical.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
(Exodus 17:9-10)
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.So if your translators were invoking a curse, at least it included old Joshua. But the reality is the whole argument is based on the flimsiest possible innuendo, and I have absolutely no doubt in my heart and mind that it has been invented by the prince of darkness himself, to spread darkness rather than light and to insult the wonderful name of our blessed Lord Jesus, because he truly hates the power in that name, which I myself have witnesses in the throwing down of the evil one's power. That's why, try as you might, I believe you will never find a hard factual source for the theory. It originated in someone's imagination, at the prompting of the evil one. But I can tell you from experience that the powers of darkness take flight at that name, Jesus, despite our imperfections of speech. They know, and God knows, who we are talking about. When we call on His name, does He hear it in perfect Hebrew? Or perfect faith? Which would you rather have in the heat of battle?
(Hebrews 4:8)
Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
