Doubt it would stand up.
Yup, even Judges can be idiots. Fortunately in the US nonsense like that won't stand up.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: Doubt it would stand up.
TTBOMK there are no name restrictions in the US and looking at the names that do crop up (like Meta World Peace) maybe it is something we should consider.

little difference between fundamentalist Muslim or Christian.
The sad part for me is that the judge is most likely right. It's all too likely that the judge's ruling simply reflects the reality of the area and that the Christian majority there are simply so ignorant, so bigoted, so intolerant, so evil, so cruel, so petty that the child really would suffer simply for having been named Messiah.
There is very little to distinguish the Muslim Fundy from the Christian Fundy except for the fact that the Christian Fundy can actually bring about the end of times.
