Naming the Child (Baptism). (Including the previous Type 1821A.) This miscellaneous type consists of various anecdotes in which the godparent who is to give the child its name does not know what to say. Cf. Type 1823.
(1) The godparent says, “Name him something.” (Previously Type 1821A.)
(2) The clergyman suggests to name the child after his father (godfather). The father is afraid that he must then go without a name himself for the rest of his life (he is not sure whether he can live without a name).
(3) The godparents are told to repeat what the clergyman says. He says something that is not part of the ceremony and they repeat it [J2498.2]. Cf. Types 1694A, 1832M*.
