If Jesus is the son of God and Satan is the oposite of God, a literal antichrist would be Satan's father, which would be God since God gave life to Satan

My favorite (probably inaccurate) point about the name "Jesus Christ": the name "Christ" means "anointed one", as you said. People were generally anointed by having oil poured on their head. "Jesus" is just contemporary form of the name "Joshua". So in another life, "Jesus Christ" could literally be translated as "Oily Josh".

I feel like if Jesus were alive now the name oily josh would be like that horrible childhood nickname that he hates

As pointed out above "Christ" is a title, not his name. His dad wasn't called Joseph Christ.
