He may legally be now called "Martin," but his parents still call him "Siah," short for Messiah.

Father Jawaan McCullough said, "Nobody should take that away from us."

Parents Jaleesa Martin and Jawaan McCullough have been getting calls and messages, showing a mixed bag of opinions about their son's name.

Jalessa Martin said, "I had some people contact me from Louisiana about it. And from Nashville, and my dad from Kentucky called me this morning saying he saw it on the news down there."
