What is a Naming Day?

A Naming Day is a non-religious ceremony where a child is officially given their name, celebrated with family and friends. It is an alternative to a christening or baptism, focusing on welcoming the child into the family or community.

How is a Naming Day different from a christening or baptism?

Unlike a christening or baptism, a Naming Day has no religious connotations. It is purely a none religious ceremony, typically held to celebrate the arrival of a new child and to officially give them their name in front of loved ones.

Who can have a Naming Day ceremony?

Anyone can have a Naming Day ceremony, regardless of age. While it is most commonly held for newborns and young children, older children and even adults can have a Naming Day to mark a significant life event or transition.

Where can a Naming Day ceremony be held?

Naming Day ceremonies can take place in a variety of locations, such as homes, parks, hotels, or community halls. There are no restrictions on the venue, making it a flexible option for families.

Who officiates a Naming Day ceremony?
Naming Day ceremonies can be conducted by a celebrant, a family member, or a close friend. The ceremony is highly personalised, allowing the family to choose who they feel is most appropriate to lead it.

Can we include special readings or vows in a Naming Day ceremony?

Yes! Naming Day ceremonies often include personal readings, promises, or commitments from parents, family members, or guardians. Some families also incorporate symbolic gestures, like lighting candles or planting a tree, to mark the occasion.

Yes, they can be quite similar. Both Naming Day and Christening gifts are typically personalised keepsakes that mark the occasion, such as engraved boxes, jewellery, or decorative items that celebrate the event.

The most common engravings are the child’s name, the date of the Naming Day, and a short personal message. Some people also choose to include inspirational quotes, wishes for the child’s future, or the names of the parents or guardians.
