Who's the greater wingnut? Parents or Judge?

[JesusHChrist]

I'm actually with the judge on this one (for different reasons). Children can be very mean and a child named Messiah will have a very difficult time in school.

The name will be problematic; I agree. But, so are many, many other names. Kids can make even a benign name something bad.

Martin is a much nicer name, but forcing parents to change a stupid name seems a bit much.

The main "irk" for me is that the name change was done on a religious basis. I think the judge's religious beliefs were insulted and she was going to use her state power to put a stop to it.
