Couple win right to name child Messiah

A Tennessee judge who changed a baby’s name because she believes “Messiah” should be reserved for Jesus Christ was overruled, local media reported.

The eight-month-old boy’s parents had sought help from a judge last month in a dispute over whether their child should have his mother or father’s last name.

Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew chastised the couple for choosing a name which “could put him at odds with a lot of people,” WBIR news reported.
