What is meant by a "Christian name"? My middle name is Christian. Does that count?

I have no issues with using Anno Domini or Ibid or Loc cit, and etc. since it suits me quite well.
How's about we just call you Anno for short?

I do not mind calling people on the internet by their Christian usernames such as say, "Yves Montand"--and I call them "Yves".

However, the idea that I would call anyone by their Christian names in real-life is particularly unappealing.

Yawn.
