My sister chose not to force any religion on her son so she had a naming day. Family round, a few carefully chosen gifts and a lovely cake. It suited the family to do that. He's 18 soon and hasn't turned into Damien from the omen.
The annoying thing is I suggested it to her having decided that I shouldn't have had my son christened 3 years previously.
In a religious family I can sort of see the point - the kids won't have any choice of religion anyway. But in a non religious or at least non-practicing household it seems a little bit previous.
I'm all for baptism etc at an age when the person can make their own informed decision. That could easily be 12 for many youngsters. I'd probably expect the child to be a regular attendee at church first though.
Just my thoughts.
In edit - I was christened Methodist - does that count? LOL
I was christened Methodist and confirmed in the Church of England how daft is that? or should I say who cares as I dont go to church, allthough I have had the Jehovah, Witneses around
