While a baby naming or welcoming ceremony does not require an officiant such as a Justice of Peace, some parents find it helpful to have someone "emcee" the ceremony.
You may already have something in mind for your baby's ceremony or no idea at all. It can be elaborate or simple, spiritual or secular. It could include music, readings, blessings, pronouncements or parent, "godparent" or sibling affirmations.
Here are some links for planning a perfect ceremony for your perfect new baby:
