Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

And the book of Acts was probably written before 70AD. (http://www.carm.org/christianity/bible/when-was-book-acts-written) And the disciples at Antioch were called Christians before it was recorded in the book of Acts.

In a related subject, did you know the reason the Romans disliked the Christians?

The Romans viewed the Christians as atheists, cannibals, and political anarchists.

Christian=N.T. Human Hero.
Christian is more specific. Is Gamaliel a Christain? Or an N.T. Hero?

This would open up huge debates and the need for so many more identifiers.
