Yes.
Baby naming ceremonies are similar to a baby shower. It's a celebration, normally held in the late morning with a light brunch. During the ceremony, the parents introduce their baby girl to their friends and family, announce the baby's Hebrew names and explain the history behind the names they've chosen.
Naming ceremonies are held for Jewish girls. The reason for this is that because they don't have a bris, they never had the opportunity to have 'mazel tov' wished on them by the community. At the naming ceremony, friends and family of the parents gather, usually for a nice brunch, and the parents introduce the baby to everyone and tell them what the baby's name is and who she was named after.
Boys get circumcised, while girls just have baby naming.
I attending a Jewish girl baby naming ceremony at my Reform Synagogue, and the rabbi wrapped her prayer shawl around the baby and her parents, said blessings, sang songs, and gave them a baby naming certificate.
No such event. Within eight days, all male Jewish babies have a circumcision and all female Jewish babies having a baby-naming.
No. In fact, gifts are never required for any Jewish event. They are only a nice token of love.
Baby naming ceremony
Baby showers are a ceremonies. They are because they celebrate a birth of a baby and it is a ceremonies just like weddings and anniversary's
By religion it is ok for an Orthodox Jew to put their baby up for adoption, but to Jewish adoptive parents.
I don't believe it has anything to do with 'should'. To me it's the same kind of thing as the way some cultures have naming ceremonies or the way a family might gather together to meet a new baby. It shows that children are loved and welcome and important in that family , culture or religion.
Do you know what you will be naming the baby?
For a girl generally there is just a baby naming but for a boy you can do a circumsion. There is also a tradition were you dont cut a boys hair until he is three but I cant remember the name of the tradition.
