LIVERPOOL: Naming Ceremonies
We offer naming ceremonies as a non-religious alternative to baptisms
for families celebrating the birth of a new baby.
It is a chance to gather together closest family and friends to:
welcome a child into the family or wider community
announce the names that have been given, and maybe the reasons behind
their choice
make promises of commitment to the child
choose other adults prepared to promise a special supportive relationship
to the child
Ceremonies are also used to celebrate or welcome adoptive children and
step-children into a new extended family or relationship.
Any parent can arrange a naming ceremony, whether married or not, with
anyb spiritual or religious beliefs, or with none, or from any cultural
background.
