Isaiah 9

5. For a child has been born to us,
A son has been given us.
And authority has settled on his shoulders.
He has been named
"The Mighty God is planning grace;
The Eternal Father, a peaceable ruler" -
6. In token of abundament authority
And of peace without limit
Upon David's throne and kingdom,
That it may be firmly established
In justice and in equity
Now and evermore.
The zeal of the LORD of Hosts
Shall bring this to pass.

From the "Tanakh" (JPS:1985)

This is like naming a child Jesus / Yeshua / Joshua. It is a COMMON name with a meaning that does not indicate that the child WITH that name is God. Every person named Jesus / Yeshua / Joshua is NOT God. In the same manner, every child named "The Mighty God is planning grace; The Eternal Father, a peaceable ruler" is NOT God. In the same manner, Peter means "rock" but a child called "Peter" is not a literal rock.
