Preparing for a naming day.

Before meeting with your celebrant there are a few things to think about.

A naming day is a non-religious celebration to mark the arrival of a new child, adoption, or new member to your family.  It is a way of welcoming the child and officially introducing him/her to family and friends.

The ceremony is a time for celebration and joy. Welcoming the child into the community to give the child a sense of belonging and identity. Provides the opportunity for the child to connect with their extended family and parents closest friends and supporters.

This may be the opportunity to educate the community to the child's culture and traditions. Naming ceremonies can provide a sense of continuity by connecting the child with their past and their future.

  • • Welcome to family and friends

    • Introduction of the child and the meaning behind his or her name

    • Where applicable introduce the people named to be supportive adults. Allow them to talk of their role in the child’s life.

    • Reading poetry

    • A symbolic gesture or ritual meaningful to their cultural background.

    • Commitments and Promises from the Supporters – Some celebratory music

    • Presentation of Certificate

    • A few words in thanks and conclusion

    These are only suggestions. Take some time to meet with your close family and friends and reflect on how you would like the naming ceremony to be.
