Naming Ceremonies - The Perfect Way to Welcome Your Child into the World




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.
