Is It A Must To Wait 8 Days Before Naming My Child? by Oking1(m): 5:26pm On Jun 26, 2011 |
Guys can anyone tell me why there is this 8 day wait before naming a child? Is it tradition or spiritual? Is it in the Bible or Quran? Why cant i name my child anytime its convenient for me( 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months etc )? |

Exactly the question i asked a friend recently when i attended his child`s christening. I guess there are certain traditions/customs that we practice and accept it as fact/way of life without questioning the rationale. |

I don't think it's a "must". Probably depends where you're from, or what religion you are, I don't know. My daughter was named as soon as she was born, we knew what names were were giving her, before the pregnancy was even half term. |

I'm newly married and don't have any children yet. And my child(ren) name has already been picked out. But in some cultures it maybe customary to wait to name the child. |
