The celebrant performs this ceremony to welcome the child into the family and the wider community. Usually, parents make promises to the child and you may also wish to involve grandparents. Family members or good friends may be nominated to be the child's godparents, guardians or supporting adults.

Many couples choose to use the services of the celebrant who married them to carry out their child's naming ceremony, making a lovely connection between these two important life events.

Various forms of baby naming ceremonies have been conducted in different cultures for centuries. There are no legal requirements involved with a naming ceremony, because the birth will have already been registered through the department of Births, Deaths and Marriages. This ceremony is performed as a recognition of the precious gift of life and love that this child is, and the wonder of their birth.
