In regions where non-Christian religions flourish, which immediately give a new name to those who are initiated, the Diocesan Bishop may decide that for new catechumens the name they already have may be given, or a Christian name, or one familiar in their culture, notwithstanding the precept of canon 855 in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, as long as a Christian meaning can be attached to it (in this case, nos. 200-202 are omitted). In some instances it will be enough to explain the Christian meaning of the name previously received from his (her) parents. If a new name is given, one of the following formulas may be used. ● A ● Celebrant: By what name do you wish to be called? Catechumen: N. ● B ● Celebrant: N., from now on you will also be called N. Catechumen: Amen (or another suitable reply). 88 USA
