Bringing a new baby home is one of
the most exciting universal human experiences. For most parents, it is
a time of celebration -- when families and communities come together to
honor and welcome the new child.
Rituals and ceremonies that mark a child's birth and survival are
common worldwide. In the United States, baptism and male circumcision
are two of the more familiar baby traditions, but there are many others
that are less visible. These rituals not only celebrate and acknowledge
the child, but can also serve as an important way for families to
solidify their connection to community, heritage and culture.

HEY Mate your answer......
Baby-naming ceremoniesare performed cross-culturally to celebrate the birth of a child and to welcome that child into the community.
Significance
Often during the naming ceremony, a Theravada Buddhist monk will bless the baby and name her. The name chosen by the monk is often based on the day, month and zodiac year of the baby's birth along with the baby's character. Sometimes the namebegins with the letter that is blessed for the day of the week on which the birth occurred.
Considerations
Sometimes parents (especially those from the West) will prefer to name their baby themselves. When naming a baby, Buddhistparents will often choose a name that is tied to the day, month or season that the child is born. It is common to choose a name that begins with the same letter or that rhymes with the name of a mother, father, brother or sister. Finally, parents may opt to name their child after the sun, moon or even a flower.
