[Opinions] Messiah?
So yesterday I was at Chuck E. Cheese's and I heard a woman called out (more like screamed) for her toddler son, Messiah. Instantly, I just shuddered internally cuz I always that Messiah was just an all out horrible name. I always think it's hypocritical that there's people in this world that are okay with the name Messiah, however the name Lucifer is absolutely off limits. Though this is just my opinion. What do you guys think of the name Messiah?Please rate my PNL- http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/160692/109550-New PNL (my favorite nicknames for girls)-

Messiah seems to be exclusively used by African Americans. I think they equate it with other names like King, Prince, Majesty, etc without thinking that it's offensive to Christians and Jews.

It's blasphemous and inappropriate (and I'm not a religious person at all! ). If you want a "messianic" name you can go with Emanuel.

I'm not religious, but I think Messiah is very inappropriate.
