Yes, but in some cases the child - and his parents - do not use the first forename. For example, I am John Paul, and both names appear on my baptism certificate; as it happens, I use John anyway, but I (and family) might have had a reason to use the Paul instead. Another example: some families give _all_ boys (or girls) a common forename, but the child is known by one of the other forenames; usually, the common one is not the first forename, but sometimes it is.
