Question (1/6)
Parents have always chosen the first name of their child
That's right. It's wrong.Reply
Until the nineteenth century, the choice of the first name met certain rules and traditions. The child endorsed the baptismal name of his godfather, his godmother or that of his grandfather or grandmother. His godfather could choose a name for him. His parents also had the opportunity to rely on the parish priest, who often opted for the name of the saint of the day of birth of the child. Which limited the choices: in France, in the fifteenth century, five first names alone named 70% of the male population.
