You don't hear this much any more, at least in the U.S., which may come from the impetus to avoid sectarianism.
Here also the influx of people from cultures ouside what was once called Christendom has seen "Christian" name replaced with the eminently more sensible "given" name. "Surname" is often now replaced with "family name", recognising that many languages put the the family name first, not last.
