Has we all know Jesus is not his real name. The J was not made yet.

Yes, we all know that. That's why the letters "I" and "C" or "X" were often used in the early church (and also today) to represent Jesus.

A quick scan through and the article seems to conveniently fail to mention that Iesous is the name given for Jesus in the original Greek NT.

All talk of J is a completely red-herring.

The 'z' sound in the modern English pronunciations of Jesus is a peculiar artifact of the changes and shifts in English pronunciation.

Such an argument by Sacred Namers is so full of holes that it's nothing but an empty space.
