Show BABIES SHOULD BE GIVEN NAME AT BIRTH Whether or not a newly born baby is to be blessed or named in a church, it is important that the baby's name is entered on the birth certificate which is filled out a few days after birth. Parents who do not believe it is necessary to name their child until un-til he is old enough to be taken to a church service are committing a serious error. A name previously previous-ly decided upon should be entered on the birth certificate when the mother is interviewed after the birth of the child, and it should be considered his permanent name. Parents will save themselves and their children future trouble if (1) they see to it that the child is named at birth; (2) make sure that the correct name is entered on the state birth certificate, and (3) have the same name given to the child when' christened in a church. |
