comment Obliterating the names and memories of evil people
I remember reading that the names of evil people shouldn't be mentioned. I thought that was the reason for ישו.

What about nicknames given to evil people to avoid using their names?

No, the name is ישוע. The name ישו is an abbreviation of ימח שמו וזכרו, i.e., may his name and memory be erased. Though I think that nobody really knows what his name sounded like in Hebrew / Aramaic, since the New Testament was written in Greek, and the first Jewish sources about him were written hundreds of years later.
