US judge changes baby's name from Messiah to Martin
I read this story today, I thought it was interesting. As much as I wouldn't choose to name my kids Messiah, I'm not sure it's anyone's business other than the parents...
And what about the other 700 kids from last year with the same name? BBC News - US judge changes baby's name from Messiah to Martin |

The only thing that needs to be changed in Tenn. is the judges name.

I wonder if he would have changed it if the parents were Muslim and they called the kid Allah.

Stupid ass parents. Naming your kid something ridiculous is just setting them up for failure from day 1.

Not a fan of the name, but the judge had no business changing it.

The judge is a woman.
She has no business bringing her personal views on religion into the matter and it could spell the end of her judicial career The name will stay. |

I think Messiah is a nice name.
However though. If I had a child and called it Messiah Douglas it just wouldn't sound right. Mind you so would William Douglas not sound right (cruel bastards.) |
