Jesus is e.g. in South America a not totally unusual name. Messiah is the person, that is expected to come, send by God, in the Jewish/Christian religion.
Well, on the other hand the word Jesus is quite often used in the "Scriptures only" branches of Christianity, that dismiss the rituals developed over the time in the more structured branches, and as those former are the dominant in the evangelical movement, that forms an important part of the core base of the Republicans, maybe the use of the term 'Jesus' is more appropriate...
