I think it was Jesus also. But for this verse.

(Mark 3:17 NIV) James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder);

Do we know why he may have given them the name Boanerges?? Could it be for the following reason?

(Luke 9:51-54 NIV) As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"

What appropriate names for two brothers who were ready to "call fire down" on a bunch of folks!!!! :o)
