I know it's the death of a joke to explain it, so feel free to PM me instead!

it's the ... "hypocrisy" of it all. one person with a funny sounding name (it just sounds funny, say it and hear it) rejecting another person's funny sounding name "messiah". Really?

Tennessee: Woman Allowed to Name Son Messiah

Quote:

A woman will be allowed to name her 8-month-old son Messiah,
a judge ruled Wednesday, overturning an order from another judge
who said the name should be changed because
“Messiah is a title that is held only by Jesus Christ.”

Lu Ann Ballew, a child support magistrate, ordered Jaleesa Martin
to change the name at a paternity hearing last month.

At an appeal hearing on Wednesday, Chancellor Telford E. Forgety Jr. of Cocke County
overturned the decision, finding that the judge had acted unconstitutionally.

Tennessee: Woman Allowed to Name Son Messiah

this is reassuring

The lesson here is to be careful what you insist on bringing before a judge. Family court judges can do whatever the fuck they want.

The upshot is, the kid's name hasn't actually legally been changed. It has only been ordered to be changed. If both parents are unhappy with the new name, they can just ignore the order and nothing will ever come of it. But if the dad is happy with the new first name (which also gives the kid his last name, which is what he went to court for in the first place,) then the dad can use the court order to officially change the name on the birth certificate.

Thanks

Naming your kid Messiah…

is pretty much guaranteed to give him a complex, isn't it?

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonder wang o/'
