Is it permissible for me to name my (newborn) son Messiah?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not recommended to name a newborn "Al-Masih" (the Messiah), to avoid ambiguity and confusion. Instead, it is recommended to name him "Isa" (Jesus) or by other names of prophets and righteous individuals.
