Not to mention blatant religious discrimination.

Although I agree that the name might cause the kid some problem later in life (from other religious bigots), it is not her call to make.

The judge is incredibly wrong but I wonder if parents so monumentally stupid as to name a child "Messiah" have any business raising children.

No worse than the parents who named their daughter "Marijuana". When I was teaching, I saw such.
She was a straight A student and homecoming queen and a heck of a good person.
Every time she ever meets a cop, she's gonna catch hell.

I smell a lawsuit. First asmendment basis, rrspecting the establishment of a specifi religion. I could try the fucking case myself and pick up a few million.

And by the way it was a title earned by all the king of israel and recently an italian former prime miniser tried to proclaiming himself as such.
At least she didn't decided to use the original meaning of the word messiah and call the baby "Oily".

And,if this newscast can be believed,the Social Security Administration state Messiah was the fourth most popular name in 2012.
WTF,really ?

"...At least a dozen countries around the world have baby naming laws in place to prevent parents from ruining their children's lives when they're only a few seconds old. 'Preposterous!' I hear many of you scream indignantly. 'What right does the government have to regulate how I name my child?'

The sad truth is that some parents have given the powers that be no other choice but to meddle. The NSW Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages has had to refuse names such as Jesus Christ, Ned Kelly, Chief Maximus, Post Master General, the number seven, a blank space, and some poor child's Medicare number..."

and

"...According to the registrar, a name may be rejected if it is thought to 'cause offense to a reasonable person', is 'unreasonably long' or 'resembles an official title or rank'..."

"Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, according to the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names."

4th fastest rising, not 4th most popular.

Can anyone here fucking read?

It's in the link of my OP.
How else to you think I copy/pasted it? You can't copy/paste text from a video. All that means is you didn't bother to read.

Generally I screwed up in every aspect and owe Hillman an apology(though his "Can anyone here fucking read ?" was over the top)

Mexicans name their kids Jesus all the time. Arabs do the same with Mohammed.

Did anyone else catch this weirdness? "The judge in eastern Tennessee said the baby was to be named Martin DeShawn McCullough, which includes both parents' last name.

The boy's mother, Jaleesa Martin, of Newport..."

Sounds like the judge didn't manage to get the mother's last name correct.
