Naming Ceremonies
The naming ceremony is a celebration by all of the
people involved in your child's life. It is an opportunity for you
to state in front of your family and friends the unconditional love
and care, support and encouragement that you will
provide as a parent.
Just by holding a naming ceremony, you are expressing
that your child is a very important member of your family. It
is a great way of introducing your child into the family circle.
Naming ceremonies have become a popular alternative
to a church Christening or Baptism. Many people today do not
regularly attend church, or are unable to make the commitment often
requested by a priest or minister of religion.
Some parents also feel that their children should be
able to make their own informed decision as to which religion, if
any, they may wish to follow.
In my Naming Ceremonies, I conduct a ceremony that is
very personal. It totally revolves around your child, explaining the origin of your baby's name, including special poems,
music, candles and involving the whole family. Verses can be written
and read by guardians / parents / grandparents and/or any other
individual that you so choose. Again, your input is very important
and encouraged.
Although Namegiving Ceremonies are usually performed
for children, adults may also choose to have a ceremony. The reasons
vary - perhaps no ceremony of formal welcome ever occurred in
childhood. A ceremony may also be chosen to signify a change of name
for an adult.
As each family is different, the naming ceremony is
individually tailored to suit your own particular circumstances.
