Has anyone done a naming ceremony (or have any knowledge about these)?
My DH and I are not religious, but would like to do something for our families. My in-laws are not religious either, but are somewhat more traditional and have asked if we are getting our DD baptized or christened. I am of italian & irish decent, my grandmother and great-grandparents raised us catholic. My mom was a pretty liberal feminist, so she let us find our own path. I was confirmed out of respect for my elder generations.
I have looked into naming ceremonies and there are some officiants and places of worship around here that do them ( I also will only support a person or place that also supports civil unions, which are legal here).
Thoughts?
