Tennessee judge unclear on First Amendment, thinks blasphemy is a thing she's allowed to use the law to prevent.

...and what shall we name our son, to ensure that his ass is thoroughly kicked both going to and coming home from school each and every day?
Regardless, not the judge's call.

Plenty of Mexican kids named Jesús, Indian kids named Vishnu and Krishna, Middle Eastern kids named Mohammad. Scandinavian kids named Thor...

In the case of Mohammed, at least, in order for it to be comparable your name would have to be "The Prophet Mohammed Peace Be Unto Him Jones"

It's just
Messiah
; it's not like they named him "Wonderful Counsellor Almighty God Everlasting Father Prince of Peace."
...and all I can think now is "That breaks down to WCAGEFPOP... WCAG? Is this an accessibility thing? More coffee."

There's always Unless-Jesus-Christ-Had-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebon. Who invented insurance, and changed his name to "Nicholas Barbon" to sell it.

"Mesih" is a perfectly unobjectionable boy's name in Turkish. Not super common or anything, it's just a given name. I even knew one, briefly.

"Ballew said the name Messiah could cause problems if the child grows up in Cocke County, which has a large Christian population."
Growing up in Cocke County is your problem right there; doesn't matter what your name is.
