    Can I name my firstborn son Jehovah?....as a sign of respect. How would Witnesses respond to this...some South Americans are named Jesus Juvarez etc so what do you think....Psm 83;18 my son would be "You who's name is Jehovah art most high over all the earth...."

    Go for it - I'm sure they would be pleased. Not.

    Just don't expect him to thank you for it.

    What about if he was called "Joe" middle name "Hover" last name "Witnez" "Joe Hover Witnez"

    Reminds me of Moe on the Simpson....."I'm looking for a Joe hover Witnez.....why you little!"

    I think the average witness would freak out. Therefore, I say go for it!!

    They would be more freaked if you called him Satan

    Actually I think it's illegal to call your child Jehovah in some countries.

    He would be stoned to death on a trip to the Holyland.....Monty Python style!

    I think if their last name is Hunt, they should name their son "Mike".

    Some non-jws have named their child Jehovah. Any jw would be viewed as "odd" requiring some "adjustment" and I doubt they would ever use their first name. It is a moot point since at the KH they tend to call people "Brother" LastName or Sister LastName.
