When a child is baptized, they are "raised to the supernatural order" and "put in connection with God,"

who then addresses them by their given name. This is what a Christian name indicates. A concrete
reminder that God is calling the kid, like the Christian namesake, to purity and paradise is provided for
the child and everyone else by naming the child after a Christian saint or biblical figure. A Christian name
expresses specifically that there is and should be a connection and continuity between earthly and
everlasting life as well as between natural and supernatural life. What name do you give your child? is a
key question the minister asks the parents at the beginning of a baptism ceremony. This name has been
given to God. According to the "Catechism," this links the child's name to God's name. The sacrament of
baptism is administered 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.' Through
baptism, the Christian obtains his name in the Church and is sanctified in the name of the Lord. This
name might refer to a disciple who has demonstrated exceptional faithfulness to the Lord, or a saint,
who has lived a saintly life. Our patron saint serves as an example of generosity, and we may count on
his intercession. A Christian mystery or virtue can also be expressed in the "baptismal name." "God calls
each one by name," it continues. "Parents, sponsors, and the pastor are to watch that a name is not
given that is contrary to Christian spirit. Each person's name is revered. The person's name serves as
their emblem. It requires courtesy as a token of the wearer's dignity.
