Tenn. judge changes infant's name from 'Messiah' - Yahoo! News

Surprised article didn't mention the legality of this in regards to the first name change. Does the judge have the legal right - - constitutional right -- to impose the name change? Is this a matter of freedom of religion issues? Parents are appealing.
Tenn. judge changes infant's name from 'Messiah' - Yahoo! News: NEWPORT, Tenn. (AP) — A judge in Tennessee changed a 7-month-old boy's name to Martin from Messiah, saying the religious name was earned by one person and "that one person is Jesus Christ."
