Godparents have been known to give a baby girl a charm necklace with one charm, with the idea that a new charm will be added on each of the child's birthdays.
One grandparent started the child on it's financial future by buying the child a portfolio of shares to which will be added others as time goes by.
Then there are the hobbyist who have given the child a collection of stamps, or a first edition book of a favourite author.
One grandmother, who had been a collector of dolls since she herself was a child, gave her first grandchild her collection of dolls.
As the naming ceremony was taking place in the grandparents' home, I was invited to view the collection. It was housed in a room whose walls were literally covered with dolls and puppets, while more dolls and puppets were suspended from the ceiling.
I can't begin to visualise what this collection will look like in twenty years' time.
