DS1 has had a naming day and it was done by the celebrant who also married us. I had my brother and his partner as the godparents. I think the idea of it is to choose another set of adults who will make a point of being a postive guide/presence in their life as well as us (their parents). As well as the idea of them being people we'd choose to bring up our children if we were unable to.

DS2 is yet to have his as we had a few rocky years amongst family and i'm not comfortable making my brothers partner a godparent again. My brother yes but i dont feel i can do this and leave out his partner without causing issues. And at the same time i'm not going to do something for my children that i'm not comfortable with to keep the peace.

So the plan is to have and naming day for DD & DS2 on DD's first birthday but we're yet to decide who the godparents will be.

We had DS1's at 2pm on a sunday, i just wanted it casual, a special day where DS and our family and friends get together to celebrate our beautiful boy and for him to enjoy all the special people around who love him. We made it an afternoon tea and i had a special naming day cake made for him. It was really special and i have every intention on doing it for DS2 & DD.
