| Just as a religious ceremony is an initiation into a religious
tradition, a naming ceremony welcomes a child into a community of
family and friends.
The child is at the centre of a naming ceremony.
Naming ceremonies are celebrations of the uniqueness of each child
and an opportunity for close family and friends to express their
love and support not only to the new member of the family but also
to the parents. Although most naming ceremonies are for babies and young children, a CCGA
(Monash) celebrant can advise you on how
to make these truly wonderful occasions for older children or adults.
It is important that you feel comfortable talking to your celebrant
about your family and the ideas you may have about the ceremony.
In this way, the ceremony you design together will speak about your
love and hopes for the child and reflect your family values. CCGA
(Monash) celebrants prefer to meet with parents and prepare draft
ceremonies for discussion. Many parents have clear ideas about how
they want to celebrate but if you would like to consider a range
of options, CCGA celebrants can offer you a wealth of resources
from which to choose, including ideas for readings and music, and
ways of acknowledging your cultural traditions.
Whether you are planning a small family ceremony to be held at
home or a larger gathering, choosing a CCGA (Monash) celebrant will
ensure that your naming ceremony is a warm and personal occasion.
