A judge in Tennessee changed a 7-month-old boy's name to Martin from Messiah, saying the religious name was earned by one person and "that one person is Jesus Christ."

Now, thats what i call respecting the name of the Lord!

Hnmmmmmmmm....................religious bigot in high places!

A man of integrity, though everyone has the right to name his child whatever for its their call!

Thats better. There is no other messiah!

This is a classic demonstration of common sense at the highest level: the opposite of most Nigerian Judges.

Little wonder their motto is " In God We Trust"

If this had happened In Nigeria, the Judge would have said the name should stay afterall
there is no provision in Nigerian Counstitution that manadated a judge to change a baby's name.

From article.

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.

Bigotted judge should be sanctionned.

The judge is a learner.......the parents are learners

Arrant nonsense!

Never knew these tennesseeans are this daft. Imagine a state tagged volunteer state which is supposed to have everything out of freewill.
