Why are many Muslims named after their prophet yet very few Christians are named after theirs?

Sorry if this isn't the right sub for this.

It came to my attention that Mohamed is a very common name for a Muslim yet I've never met a Christian called Jesus. Is there a story behind this?

You might be interested in this post from two months ago which asks the same question. I've given an answer there that should address your question.

I've never met a Christian called Jesus.

I assume you haven't been around a lot of Spanish speaking communities then. Jesús is an incredibly common name in Central/South America.
