huh...I thought it was going to say, "Call me JAM!"

And "Prince" is a title too....so how'd he get away with that?

my dad's close friend when he was a kid had a little sister who introduced herself to everyone,"Hi, my name is Janet Annette Meyer. Call me Sappy!"

naw- those were around before the bible
names are a bloody personal thing. (I know one of my kids has an odd name. heck, I have an odd name). once the govt gets involved, we're on the slippery slope to our social security number as our name.
My favorite all time nane is "The Artist formally known as Prince" you can pronounce it and everything.

Hmm....

John, Mary, Paul, David, Peter, Saul, Joesph, Luke, etc.???

Lol!!

!!!!!!

It should have made him a better driver (anger=aggression), but didn't.

Kind of like The Boy Named Sue song....

I think you're right. :-)

It was solely political.

LOL

lol!

Believe you me...the names you want to stay away from are biblical names...too many of them are terrors. Especially the Angel's and the Jesus's...and the Gabriel's aren't usually picnics either. OH..and the Noah's too! Messiah is destined. Which reminds me...at the hospital a couple weeks ago, when my grandson was born...there was another baby boy there and someone named him Lucifer (!!) He'll probably turn out to be an Angel. (haha).

That judge gave me the willies. Did you notice her ornate earrings? Bottom line...parents can name their kids whatever they want...even if it's spelled ridiculously or pronounced differently than the letters would lead you to believe. (I could make a list.)

You just named her next 3 kids.

LOL, not in Tennessee. Wait, maybe if it was west of Nashville.

I think that Mary was really Tipper Gore. :)

Here's a song for that

I remember him!! How could one forget that?!? I have a phrase I use for names like that; naming your kids when you're angry. I'd be angry, nay pissed as hell, if I had to live with that until I was 18, sheesh!

her other two children have first names that begin with M. alliteration. maybe "Mmm mmm mmm"

I think they actually took little Adolf and put him in a foster home.
theater of the absurd

I always figured his name was Richard, but made the most of it. LOL

Well that makes sense...

Seriously Messiah? Damn think about the weight that would place on a kid. It would be hard to grow up a thug or a crack-head with a name like that.

Still, I don't see how the State has any authority to rule on what a parent names their child - even if it is a ridiculous name.

Jaleesha said it had nothing to do with God.
