Eshu', Eshoa, or Eshua (Calling Brother Paul)
#10
I would go with Jesus.

English is a tricky language, but if you can remind your readers that the second "s" is silent, the first "s" pronounced "sh", the "u" long, the "e" short and the "J" soft... I don't see how there could be very much confusion.

Transliteration is hard enough between two languages with fixed rules of phonics and where the original pronunciation is known. I keep wrestling over the proper way to spell "Yaqob" (although I'm pretty sure James is wrong).
