For generations
The miracle of birth has been a reason for celebration. Naming ceremonies are a practice that goes back to the dawn of time.
Modern families who want to welcome their child formally into the family and introduce them to their friends and the community, often choose the non
religious option of a naming ceremony.
A naming ceremony is the perfect way to bond family and for the extended family and friends to feel involved in the future development of the child. It is a
time where they can witness the parent's pledge of love and commitment to the child.
It is usual during a naming ceremony for the parents to promise to love, protect and provide for their child. If sponsors, mentors or godparents are chosen,
they too will pledge to be involved in the life and future development of that child.
Older children, grandparents uncles and aunts are frequently involved in the ceremony.
Naming ceremonies are usually celebrated when the infant is 3-6 months old, but it can be done at any time in a child's life. Another popular choice is to
incorporate the naming in the first birthday celebrations.
A naming ceremony can be held anywhere the family may choose, such as a park, at home or in a hall or community centre. The ceremony itself usually lasts
approximately 45 minutes and it can be designed by the Celebrant after discussions with the parents about their particular wishes and choices. A naming ceremony can
be as elegant or as simple as the family wishes.
