Why not Messiah?

[Old Sarge]

That name is already taken, by the doofus at 1600 Penn. Avenue, DC.

[USMCPOP]

“Deshawn” is the part that bothers me.

You can name your kid whatever you want. But don’t come crying to me when somebody nails him to some wood.

[Batman11]

Should have named the kid Anfernee. You know, after Saint Anfernee.

[Secret Agent Man]

“messy” for short...

[Secret Agent Man]

her last name is “martin” and she didn’t name the future purple dranker “trayvon”?

[bgill]

Parents have saddled their kids with horrible names since the beginning of time but since when has a judge the right to stick his nose into it?

Here’s hoping he’ll not turn out to be another son of Our Lord and Savior Barack Obama.

[Boogieman]

Good example of how screwed up the family court system is. The judge has no business changing the kid’s name, the state has no interest in that, and really, has no authority to do so. Yet, you give the little black robed divas as much power as we have, and they think nothing of butting in and making decisions by fiat on any aspect of our lives.

[MeshugeMikey]

let us not that the childs father.....is no where mentioned in the article....for some strange reason...

[Still Thinking]

A Tennessee judge said parents can name their 8-month-old baby “Messiah,” overturning the decision of another judge who thought the name was blasphemous.

Has anyone told the Mexicans?

[Slyfox]

I knew a little girl whose mother named her LaTrina.

[SeminoleCounty]

Sounds like a name that will command government assistance

[kaehurowing]

Lot of Hispanic folks named Hey-Zeus are breathing easier now.

[This I Wonder32460]

If the mother had named the child “The Messiah Martin” rather then Messiah Martin, then Judge would have been correct in changing the name. As it is Messiah is not necessarily “The Messiah.”

[RetiredTexasVet]

Sonofstupid might be a good “made up name”.
