Happy Name Choosing! The moment has arrived to choose a Catholic baby boy names/ Christian names for the baptism of a baby boys. What should the child be called? Must he receive the name of a saint? According to the revised Catholic Church Canon Law, it is no longer mandatory that the child receive the name of a saint.
In other words, the chosen name must appeal to the Christian community. While the names of Jesus and Judas are Biblical in nature, the choice of such names would result in controversy. To many, the Name Jesus is Sacred and the Most Holy of all names. Because Judas is the disciple who betrayed Jesus, many feel this would be a poor choice. Equally, names such as ‘Cadillac’ or ‘Buick’ are not suitable because they represent the individual person’s personal interest in certain cars.
