naming day
Baby's official debut
A naming day is a ceremony celebrating the giving of a name to a child, serving as a secular alternative to religious christening or baptism.
The occasion typically involves family and friends gathering to formally welcome the child and announce their name: We're planning a naming day for the baby next month.
In some cultures, naming day refers to a traditional celebration of one's given name, observed annually like a birthday.
