Name change with a twist

I don't know how often complete name changes take place, but I am sure that when people do change their names they have a good reason. This one, though, I'm not so sure about:

A New York man's holiday spirits soared to celestial heights Friday when a judge gave him permission to change his name to Jesus Christ.

Jose Luis Espinal said he decided to change his name about a year ago when he realized, "I am the person that is that name." (editorial comment: I will refrain from opining here--a very difficult thing for me--but I'm sure you can guess what I might say).

The judge before whom the man appeared said that name-change applications are usually not denied "just because the change might cause practical difficulties or be thought unwise, as long as a person with the same name does not object to the proposed change."

Hmm...I think I know Someone who might object.
