TN Judge orders baby's name be changed from 'Messiah'

"The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," Judge Ballew said.

From the Tennessean today!

Personally I think naming a kid "Messiah" is misguided at best, downright stupid at worst; but regardless, the judge is waaay outta bounds changing it. Haven't read the story, though... I believe reading/watching the news in Tennessee lowers one's IQ...

Maybe they'll change it to LemonJello...

Girl: Raven

That actually isn't a bad name, but I would be the jerk who always comments "that is SO Raven" whenever she does anything.

I have not run across any strange baby names professionally, but in the third grade, I had PE with a girl named Velveeta. She was picked on a lot because of the name, but I found it interesting. That may be due to my love of all things cheesy. I also grew up with a girl named Tinker. I thought it was cute and fit her. I also had a cashier at the Kroger named Alibi. I have a common name, but it's spelled differently. There are two "f"s instead of a "ph". My name is pretty much spelled phonetically, but you'd think it was written in Sanskrit when people look at me funny and try to read it. I guess they don't realize that "ff" and "ph" make the same sound. Oh well.:)

I once had a patient who did not know she was pregnant and gave birth very early in a Dunkin donuts. She didn't have a name for the baby so we suggested Dee-Dee since she had the baby in Dunkin. She went with it. Not such an unusual baby name, but an interesting story nonetheless. :)
