In the UK, at least, most children whose parents are Christians (active, non-active or nominal Christians only) are 'christened' (the most common word used) or 'baptised' (US: 'baptized'). 'Naming ceremony' could apply to other religions, or to atheists, or it could be a generic, descriptive word for all of the above. However, 'naming ceremony' is usually used with inanimate objects such as ships, buildings and other constructions. I don't know what the norms are in the US, but I imagine they're similar to the UK ones. |

| PS: I've just checked, and 'naming ceremony' seems to be gaining in popularity in the UK when referring to babies/children. Often these ceremonies take place in a registry office, some other public building or at home rather than in a church. Presumably this is because, nowadays, more and more British parents see Christianity (and other religions) as irrelevant. |
