Baby names are one of the
Rite of Passage ceremony held by nearly all societies to observe a person's
entry into a new stage of life. Rites of passage note such occasions as birth,
graduation, or marriage. Most rites help people understand and accept
their new roles in society
Name giving ceremonies have a history almost as old as mankind itself. Those who
viewed the film Ben Hur will recall how when Ben Hur saved the Roman General the
latter named him as his son. A son was not a true legal member of the family
until the father had named the offspring in a ceremony. Thus a legal son could
be, in our terms, adopted, born out of wedlock, born of the wife or born of
another woman. Naming (or Name giving) was the rite which brought the child into
the family.
