This is not a name.

I think it's no worse on a girl than a boy. Why would it be worse on a girl...because a female couldn't be the messiah? But I just hate the name on either gender and think it's awful. I hope that I don't make some rude face if I ever meet one.

I meant I can't take them seriously lol like I can't imagine a politician running for office named Messiah for instance (they like to change their names for their careers anyhow). If I saw Messiah on a resume I'd be like "really?!", that kinda thing.

Um... What?

I would never take a child named Messiah seriously and I'd probably cuss the parents out. Come on now.

I am really horrified over this! Just please no. It's realky bad to name your kid Messiah, especially a girl. What is the world coming to these days?!

I don't think it would be good to name your child this tho it has a feminine sounding quality, similar to mariah, people will think you are very arrogant and disrespectful to religion.
