Where I live two of my neighbours are James Brown and Jimmy Morrison. And I share a birthday with one Matt Brown.

Although we call her by her middle name, Patrice, my girlfriend's name is Janet Jackson.

Robert N Hood

goes by Bob, though. Rob N Hood would be more fun.

Gravdigr 04-18-2013 04:02 PM

"Bobbin' Hood" would be a great title for a gay porno.

jimhelm 04-18-2013 04:10 PM

Is that all you ever think about? Jeez. You and your gay porn.

Judge Orders Baby's Name Changed From 'Messiah'
Quote:

A Tennessee judge ordered a baby's name changed from Messiah to Martin last week,
after the boy's parents went to court to fight over their son's last name.
The boy's mother, Jaleesa Martin, says she was shocked by the decision
and that she'll appeal the judge's order to rename her baby Martin DeShawn McCullough.

"The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned
by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," says Child Support Magistrate
Lu Ann Ballew, in an interview with Knoxville's WBIR TV.

I'm not sure if this is an accent thing, or just a typical inability to get a joke by me. I'm practically an airport, the amount of jokes on here that fly over my head.

I know it's the death of a joke to explain it, so feel free to PM me instead!

Clodfobble 08-12-2013 01:31 PM

The lesson here is to be careful what you insist on bringing before a judge. Family court judges can do whatever the fuck they want.

The upshot is, the kid's name hasn't actually legally been changed. It has only been ordered to be changed. If both parents are unhappy with the new name, they can just ignore the order and nothing will ever come of it. But if the dad is happy with the new first name (which also gives the kid his last name, which is what he went to court for in the first place,) then the dad can use the court order to officially change the name on the birth certificate.

it's the ... "hypocrisy" of it all. one person with a funny sounding name (it just sounds funny, say it and hear it) rejecting another person's funny sounding name "messiah". Really?

Sundae 08-12-2013 02:37 PM

I thought there was a ref I wasn't getting.
Thanks :)

Pete Zicato 08-19-2013 02:34 PM

Naming your kid Messiah…

is pretty much guaranteed to give him a complex, isn't it?

limegreenc 08-19-2013 02:54 PM

I went to a dentist with the French name-"Sanchagrin", which in English means 'without pain'. He wasn't too bad looking either; those baby blues looking down into your mouth....

Tennessee: Woman Allowed to Name Son Messiah
Quote:

A woman will be allowed to name her 8-month-old son Messiah,
a judge ruled Wednesday, overturning an order from another judge
who said the name should be changed because
“Messiah is a title that is held only by Jesus Christ.”

Lu Ann Ballew, a child support magistrate, ordered Jaleesa Martin
to change the name at a paternity hearing last month.

At an appeal hearing on Wednesday, Chancellor Telford E. Forgety Jr. of Cocke County
overturned the decision, finding that the judge had acted unconstitutionally.

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonder wang o/'

Many of the upper class here acquire names in the nursery that they never quite shake.
Tiggy, Binky, Sooty etc. Not the people I tend to have tea with though.

Susan Garden, Baroness Garden of Frognal - a British Liberal Democrat politician and member of the House of Lords.

Molasar 01-11-2014 06:43 PM

there was a lass in a town in the north east of the County of North Yorkshire called May Balls, no biggie until you find out her full name was May Ophelia Balls.

I tell you what, there's some raw work done at the font, that's for sure.
some parents should have been, if not drowned at birth, then certainly sterilised before they could mistreat their own kids.

Molasar 01-11-2014 06:54 PM

... and the two Scottish gays, Ben Doon and Phil McCavity.
And their Irish neighbours Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick.

And not forgetting the Irish President of the USA, Barack O'Bama
