Based on my experience, yes. However, some Christian rites for baptism require the parents/guardians to 'bring the child up in the church and teach them the creeds and about God' and some such, so you may have a hard time agreeing to do that if you yourself are not interested or are not a believer or couldn't be bothered. I guess you could lie and promise to do that anyway but I do not recommend it.

What are your reasons for christening your child? Are you a believer? Having this done will not give your child a birth right to heaven if they die. I would do some soul searching first and come up with the reason why you are wanting your child to be christened. Are you doing it to make somebody happy? Not a good reason. What's the reason? I was christened when I was a baby because my parents were catholic back then, I became a christian when I was 7 years old or so and then I got baptized when I was about 24 years old when I realized why I was doing it, it was a profession of my faith in Jesus Christ. What are the reasons???

Yeah it depends on the church and how they want to do it. But my question if you want to christened your child obviously you believe. So why not christened yourself and her at the same time. It would be like a mother-daughter bonding experience. Just my 2 cents

Depends on the church (religious setting) and the person performing it.
My EX pastor (emphasis on EX) will not perform "public" christening's on babies born outside of marriage...
as if it's the childs fault?!

I think that if you think that being a christian is the best thing for your child. That you should seriously think about doing it for yourself. Churches will understand that you are thinking about going into the christian religion. But you just want to get ur baby saved first
God bless

To prevent any more pressure on yourself, baptise the child yourself. Whilst pouring water over the childs head (not a lot, just a little stream), say: 'I baptise thee, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost'. God will understand.
