.Catholic AnswerThere is no "coming of age ceremony" in the Catholic Church. You may be thinking of the sacrament of Confirmation, which in the Latin Rite is usually given between the ages of 12 and 16, but in other Rites it is given with baptism. In the Orthodox Church it is given with Baptism.
Roman Catholic AnswerYou are given the gifts of the Holy Spirit in Baptism, and again in confirmation.
Baptism was not influenced it was given to us by Jesus. It reminds us that Jesus died on the cross and took away all of our sins.

Yes I'm sure they are. Children definitely are.
No, in the early days, and still today in all Rites of the Church, except the Latin Rite, the sacrament of confirmation is given immediately after baptism. Thus the name is given at baptism, and not repeated immediately afterward.
The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are given in baptism. We grow in them by practicing virtue throughout our lives and the gifts are sealed in us at confirmation.
I know that my answer will be debated but the Bible is pretty clear on this subject. The gifts you are given are decided by God not by man and they are given at the moment of salvation not baptism. Jesus was baptized; do you think that it was then that he became God? Baptism is an outward display of your obedience and can be in itself a great testimony of God's love for us and help bring someone into the fold.
