These ceremonies provide a unique and very special way of celebrating the birth of your child before your familiy and friends. Naming Ceremonies are not only for young babies but may also be a celebration for older, adoptive and stepchildren, welcoming them into a new relationship within their new family unit and community.
The ceremonies provide a dignified and formal event to:
- Welcome the child into the family and community
- Publicly announce their names, perhaps giving the reasons behind the choice
- As parents make personal commitments to each other (as well to the child)
- Choose adult friends and/or relatives to take part in the ceremony as “Encouraging Adults” who pledge a special relationship with the child.
