If you were a believer in god, I believe it would be offensive. If you were a non-believer in god, I believe it would be intentionally offensive to believers. You could argue that a person can choose any name they like and that, if someone else is offended, that is their problem but I don't think that is a sound argument if the name was chosen for the sole purpose of belittling or insulting someone else or their genuine beliefs.
As a non-believer, my moral code includes treating others as I would like to be treated so, even though gods mean nothing to me, I accept that they do to many people. Insulting their beliefs will only harden attitudes whereas we can lead by example.

What's the problem? If he wants to be childish that is his business - or possibly that of his parents.
There are lots of people called Jesus. No problem there either.

By calling yourself/your child God that it is mocking God. There is only one God. Also if someone calls themselves God it makes them look self-important and full of themselves.
