Naming ceremonies are becoming a popular alternative to christenings and baptisms but are not just for babies. It can be a wonderful opportunity for parents of blended families to make promises to all of the children in their lives, or for new parents to share their joy with family and friends and to ask for support and love as a new family. Special supporting adults can be nominated and, along with grandparents and older children, can make promises and have their role in the child or children’s lives acknowledged and celebrated. Your promises celebrant can offer ideas and alternatives to make your baby naming special to your family.
