Frequently asked questions
What is a naming ceremony and how do you plan one?
A naming ceremony (or naming day) is a non-religious celebration to welcome a new child, formally mark their name, and gather loved ones to celebrate their arrival — a modern, secular alternative to a christening or baptism that's grown popular with families who want the meaning and gathering without the religious element. They're wonderfully flexible, with no fixed religious format, so you can shape the day around what feels right for your family. A typical ceremony might include a welcome and introduction, readings, poems or a song, the naming of 'guide-parents' (sometimes called supporting adults or godparents — the secular equivalent, special people who promise to support the child), and promises or wishes from the parents and guide-parents. Many families add a symbolic gesture — lighting a candle, planting a tree, signing a keepsake certificate — and words from grandparents or family. You can lead it yourselves, ask a family member, or hire a professional celebrant (humanist celebrants commonly conduct these and can help you craft a personal ceremony). It's followed by a celebration much like any other — food, drink, cake, decorations and photos. Note that, unlike a marriage, a naming ceremony isn't a legal process (it doesn't legally register the name — that's done separately via birth registration); it's a heartfelt personal celebration. Plan it around what's meaningful to you, and it's a beautiful way to welcome your child into your family and community.
