In what world are we allowed to change someone else' name based on OUR OWN religious beliefs? Seriously. SERIOUSLY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010709 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:34:58 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1010709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Oh, I didn't think you agreed - I was just trying to point out how her logic was obviously flawed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010668 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:24:56 +0000 mrs. bird 1010668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: she said she liked how it sounded with her other children's names- micah and mason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010658 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:19:49 +0000 Mrsbells 1010658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard this story on the radio this morning. Legally the judge was wrong to do that, but honestly I cant understand why she wants to name her child Messiah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010630 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 13:10:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 1010630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: @mrs. bird: oh I totally disagree with the judge! I'm only trying to figure out her reasoning, even if it is total bs that will surely be overturned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010494 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:44:31 +0000 Espion 1010494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: LOL!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I know a KingJames.

She is so out of line I can't even believe it. Religion has NO place in the court system, and for a judge she has extremely poor judgment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010382 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 12:17:33 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1010382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Messiah ranked 387 in 2012.

First name. I think the middle name was Tyrone or something. Personally, I thought the apostrophe made the name.</p> <p>I mean I get it, people name their kids in the hope that they live up to the moniker, but that one was a toughie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010298 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:55:12 +0000 mrsjazz 1010298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh my. That is super unfortunate. My stepdad's name is Prince. Is Yo'highness the middle name? Or was that all one full first name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010291 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:54:03 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1010291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: So your husband really is royalty in his family's home country?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010284 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:52:57 +0000 mrs. bird 1010284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: omg, mr president, i'm dying!! happy birthday, mr president, happy birthday to youuuu! hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/judge-changes-baby-boys-name#post-1010269 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:50:33 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1010269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: oh wow.
