    Well, I've read it, the second name change it the side story. The item is that when the judge heard the undisputed first name, she ordered it to be changed too, because she said that this name should be reserved to who she believes it should be reserved to. Now, Dan stated that woman is stupid, and I commented that judging someone for the name choice is not very nice. Not sure what you understood, but anyway, this is a far longer thread ;)

    It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality. That means of course that they don't exist. However, they do!

    I stated she was stupid for saying Messiah was a unique name. I didn't say she was stupid for naming her kid that. I don't think it's a good choice, but the cow-orker of mine who named her kid gunner is probably inflicting her kid with a lot more baggage. Even if the local schools never adopt a zero intelligence policy and expel him over it, anyone seeing that on an application/resume/etc is probably going to think it a prank submission, and even if they know better my gut feeling is a number of anti-gun types will circular file it anyway because they decide it's icky. :sigh:

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

        I suppose it's possible; but she chose to spell it like JSOP's favorite hobby, not the norse name. :rolleyes:

          She is "an American", spelling usually isn't among their expertise.

            We should be cautious when judging other people for their culture. There were very influential people with names that you would think horrible, but other might for some reason find suiting. An example can be Nur-a-Din which means "The fire of hell" :mad: (quite a name), he was however an Arab lord, his direct successor was Saladin who humiliated the crusaders in the battle where he took Jerusalem. I wonder what his mother called him when he was little...

            Nur-a-Din does not mean the fire of hell it means the glow of relegion :)

              He's missing an opportunity here. He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy.

                  :thumbsup: Yes, and Sayf el Din is a good example, which means the "The Sword (Sayf) of Judgement"

                  I'm a native arabic speaker and you are completely wrong. As pointed above, Din (pronounced deen) means religion in this context, not judgment. Din (pronounced dayn) means judgment, or debt. Nur (pronounced noor) means light. Nur el Din means the light of religion. Sayf el Din means the sword of religion.

                    Tennessee judge rules infant's name must be changed from 'Messiah'[^] "The boy's mother, Jaleesa Martin, of Newport, said she will appeal. She says Messiah is unique and she liked how it sounded alongside the boy's two siblings -- Micah and Mason." I'm not sure what to be more apalled by, Judge Powertrip's abuse of her authority; or the baby-mommy's stupidity.

                    It would seem rather obvious that the first is more heinous. The decision will be overturned and one might even suppose that the judge will be reprimanded by the higher court (as if the decision alone wouldn't do it.) The mother isn't especially stupid given that the first name is one that many parents seem to be choosing - which is what the article says.

                      This combined with baby-mommy thinking it's unique is why she's stupid.
