Some families are looking for an addition to, or an alternative to a Baptism or Christening ceremony. These families can be either non-religious or religious and are interested in including friends and relatives from multi-cultural backgrounds in a non-restrictive ceremony, or wish to celebrate the traditions of their ancestry; these families hold a Naming Ceremony.
This is an event where parents publicly welcome their children into the world and give them well wishes and blessings. Compared to a Baptism or Christening, a naming ceremony is more festive and can be held on any day of the week at any time. The child can be either a newborn or a teenager. Adopted children can benefit from this service as well. You have lovingly chosen to make them apart of your family and give them your name; here is a way to celebrate publicly.
There aren't any rules as to how many people you can invite to a Naming Ceremony. You can have a smaller event with just family and close friends, or you can have a large ceremony. The best idea is to invite friends and family who have a high respect for your belief system and that you think
