It was a christening, because the baby was named at the ceremony. A christening is not a name announcement ceremony, Choc. It's a religious infant baptism with a lot of show involved. In fact, the practice of not naming the child until the christening is not at all standard. It's a religious ceremony, and is not used interchangeably with debuts or announcement ceremonies.
