people shouldn't be given names as infants. they should be allowed to grow up and choose thier own.

Mine is Joan of Arc. I had always loved her, even as a child. At the liberal parish where we came into the Catholic church, they discouraged us (strongly) from taking Saints’ names, but I did anyway.

The Dutch Reformed Congregation didn’t have any such custom in the 1960s (and probably doesn’t now, either ;-), so I didn’t get a saint’s name until I was confirmed as a Catholic in 1993: Helena.
