Related to this, what's up with people giving entire names of famous people as first and middle names (like John Wayne Gacy, or the innumerable "Robert E. Lee [Surname]"s)? Is this a southern thing?

I agree - however, the news article is interesting. When I started to read it I was under the assumption it was a broke addict trying to get his next fix, but I was entirely wrong!

Maybe until you learn that the name Jesus is not a magic amulet.

Exactly.
People knw there is power in the name though, which is why it is used in vain or as a swearword so frequently.
One of the most bizarre and shocking performers of our era, GG Allin, was born as Jesus Christ Allin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GG_Allin
"Allin is best remembered for his notorious live performances that typically featured wildly transgressive acts such as Allin defecating and urinating onstage, rolling in feces and often consuming excrement, committing self-injury, performing naked, and committing violent actions toward the audience—often doing many of these things simultaneously. Although more notorious for his stage antics than for his wide body of music, he recorded prolifically, not only in the punk rock genre, but also in spoken word, country and Rolling Stones-influenced rock. His politically incorrect lyrics, which often covered subjects such as misogyny, pedophilia and racism, deeply divided opinions of him within the highly politicized punk community. Though he had a devoted cult following, Allin's music has received mostly negative reviews from critics."
