What is involved in having a naming ceremony for a baby?

i had one of these days for my baby and it was the most wonderful experience ever! it involves making a commitment to the baby and you may have mentors instead of god parents.





in my ceremony i had


a good friend reading a poem


lighting of a candle


statement of comitment from me and my partner


statement of commitment from mentors


the mentors read a poem and a speach


we cut a cake


the person who led the ceremony said a celtic poem


we listened to a song personal for baby(we chose james blunt-your beautiful)





it is a very personal ceremony and i will recomend this for anyone

I have performed these, they are equivalent to a Christian Christening, but are more spiritual than religious, although often the Blessings of God %26amp; Goddess is called upon, or for the spiritual people the Blessings of the Archangels.


Also equivelant to the godparents are also named, those that promise to look after the spiritual wellbeing etc should anything happen to the parents.
Reply:I've never heard of a naming ceremony. Sounds like a waste of time and money.
Reply:Under what culture is this? I'm interested myself!
Reply:Depends. Will the ceremony by Native American? Usually those are pretty strict on things that you do.
