Stamps, coins and postcards are issued to commemorate these events. Yet they sleep, unaware of the pomp and splendour of the occasion.

JORDANIAN ROYALS
Full (christened) name: Princess Rahma bint El Hassan Parents: Prince El Hassan Bin Talal and Princess Sarvath El Hassan Date of birth: August 13th, 1969 Place of birth: Amman Date of christening/baptism: N/A Place of christening/baptism: N/A Godparents: N/A Other information of note: they have a very simple naming ceremony in Jordan; it's not like a christening or a baptism. I believe they just have a family gathering wherein the baby is dressed in nice clothes, and they officially announce the name the parents have selected for the baby--Nothing major, very simple. Another thing of note is that when girls are born in Arab countries they often have bint as their middle name, bint simply means daughter, bint is always followed by the father's name. -Information courtesy of elizahawthorne
