A lot of Christians actually are named after Jesus, anyone named Joshua literally has the same name in Hebrew as Our Lord. The distinction was made in the Bible for Jesus to separate Him from the Joshua/Josue of the old testament, who was Moses' protégé. Joshua was a pretty common name for the Ancient Israelites, kinda like Robert is for whites today (though Joshua is also still pretty common among whites too).

And "Buddha" is basically the Buddhist equivalent to "Saint", Siddhartha Gautama or whatever his name was didnt really go by Buddha while he was alive to my knowledge.
