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.
