What do you guys think about people who name their children names like this and Jesus? I'm sort of on the fence about it myself. They're really nice names and I don't consider them to be like titles, but do you think that it's crosses the line for blasphemy? Not sure if in this particular video it says it at the end, but the judge eventually wound up reversing it.

You can tag a child with any name you want...but most of the time if it's unique it is a detriment to the child.

Now I'm just curious, did you like my post because you like the name as well or because I'm embarrassed with the fact I like it lol

My grandson-in-law thought about calling their baby Lucifer.

Really? Why? I bet he's really cute though. :)
He's lovely but we've been in lockdown and prevented from hugging anyone or having visitors. My daughter and her husband were so looking forward to being grandparents and they've missed out on all the baby stuff.

Oh yeah that's right, I forgot about the Covid stuff, but yes Messiah is actually top of my list for newer names I just sort of didn't want to admit to anybody, even myself lol I like old fashioned names for boys too like Daniel and Michael and Eleanor and Lydia for girls. Also top of my girl's list are Amber, Annie, Rachel, Sarah,.. and a newer name that I like for girls is Mariah. :) Oh yeah and Lilly is also a pretty name for a girl as well and Jack is a nice name for a boy. :) (Michelle is also a nice name since it's the female equivalent of Michael. :D)
