Naming Ceremonies, guides readers through an exploration of one of life's most significant rituals. From the planning stages to the actual ceremony, this comprehensive guide offers a step-by-step approach to creating a deeply meaningful and memorable event. They can be held for babies, for small children, or older children in the form of an adolescent ceremony.

Discover the importance of involving loved ones and understanding the symbolic significance behind the choice of a name. Whether you are seeking to honour cultural traditions or simply celebrate the arrival of a new family member or endorsing an existing member, Naming Ceremonies is an essential resource that beautifully captures the spirit of this timeless tradition.

The giving of a name is an important rite in any society, for there is the concept that without a name, there is an incomplete personality. Anyone can use the information provided in this book in designing a ceremony, for use either as an appointed celebrant, or as a family member.
