Who's the greater wingnut? Parents or Judge?
http://news.yahoo.com/tenn-judge-changes...23538.html

A baby's parents are in court because they can't decide on a child's last name. Meanwhile, the judge decides she doesn't like their choice of first name either and orders it changed.

"NEWPORT, Tenn. (AP) — 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."

Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew ordered the name change last week, according to WBIR-TV (http://on.wbir.com/1cDOeTY). The boy's parents were in court because they could not agree on the child's last name, but when the judge heard the boy's first name, she ordered it changed, too."

I'm going with the judge being the Greater Wingnut (GW). So nobody can be named "Messiah" in Tennessee? How about "Jesus"?
