Babies
A naming ceremony allows parents to welcome a new arrival into the world
in a meaningful way without having to perform a religious ritual. It is also
an opportunity for family and friends to be a part of the celebration, and for
parents to make commitments to the newest member of the family,
witnessed by those closest to them. Call me and let’s have a chat about
how we can organize a wonderful family celebration.
Children
As well as the naming of a biological child this is a wonderful way of
introducing an adopted child or a stepchild into the family — the parents
have the opportunity to declare before their family and friends that the
new child is part of their family, with all rights and privileges that go with
that, and to declare their intentions and obligations as far as the child is
concerned.
