Naming Day
A Naming Day ceremony is becoming a more popular choice of celebration for some parents for formally announcing the baby's name and welcoming them into the world. Parents who do not want to impose a religious belief on their child or who are of different religions may prefer their child decides their own religious faith when they are older. For parents who wish their child to undergo some form of blessing without religious connotations a naming day ceremony is ideal. Furthermore, a naming ceremony may be held to welcome an adoptive child into the family or to embrace stepchildren into a new family.
A non-demoninational ceremony can often provide the perfect balance for families as their child can undergo a formal blessing without the need to identify a specific religion. You can opt to conduct the ceremony yourself of if you prefer you can book a qualified celebrant to conduct the service on your behalf. Parents do not have to be married and can come from different cultural backgrounds. The one abiding rule for a Naming Ceremony is to ensure those arranging the naming day have parental responsibility and legal guardianship of the child. The ceremony can be held at a venue of your choice so this could be your home, a relatives home or a favourite hotel or restaurant. You can choose your own special words or poems for the naming ceremony and can appoint Guide Parents or Special Friends for the child, people you know will play a significant role in guiding and helping your child grow.
In today's world where people hold many varied beliefs it is important for people not connected with any particular religion to be able to conduct a ceremony for family and friends, using their own choice of words to mark the occasion.
