[Magdalen] Baptism question

[Michael Bishop]

I have always used the Christian names (however many there are) only . 
The surname is not used. For the service booklet I would include in the 
service title the Christian and surname of the child.
So if it were my baptism then the names used in the booklet title would 
be "Philip Michael Bishop" but I would be baptised simply "Philip Michael".

(I am one of those strange people known by my second Christian name, not 
my first)

God bless

> When you baptize a young child, do you say the full name at the beginning or just the first name (and middle, if any)? I know the BCP only has one N. In the place for the name, but I’ve seen it done a number of ways. I’m think you don’t use the last name, but just the first/and middle. I haven’ done a baptism in a number of years, but I have one coming up on Easter in a church where I’m supplying, and the person doing the bulletin asked how she should list the name in the service booklet.
