They don't report that trash in The Times, I left Pontefract at 16, never to live there again.
No, they report instead that Kent University is advising the term "first name" be used instead of "Christian name". Hasn't that been out of use since the 1990s?

Actually its a big issue internationally in data. Its also more common as society in the UK gets more diverse. Still see DBs with [Christian name] as a field.
If you deal with non primarily Christian countries they normally don't use "Christian Name". "Family name" is also an issue in a number of areas.
I recommend [FirstGiven/Middle/Last Name] with clear definitions.
