Why would Christ take the name of a Bodhisattva? Thats just being confusing for the sake of it!
From a Baha'i pov, it's not confusing at all.
All the "major" religions have ideas about a figure who will return and usher in a Golden Era of peace and prosperity for humanity. In Buddhism it's Maitreya or the 5th Buddha. In Hinduism, it's Krishna Yahyah, in Zoroastrianism, Shah Bahram, in Judaism, Moshiach, in Christianity, the Return of Christ, in Islam it's the Mahdi (there are some other names as well).
When I was reading various religious texts as an atheist, they all looked to be expressing the same basic idea about some future figure, and I considered the possibility they might all be pointing to the same thing anyway.
Um, which is what eventually made it easier to accept the notion that God might exist, since I can't think of any workable explanation for how so many religions across time and the Earth can have so much in common. But I digress...
Anyway, if it's true that all of these names are referring to one person, then it's sensible for Christ Returned to call Himself by any of the other names I listed above as well.
