Families arrange ceremonies based on their comfort of time. Majority of the time, the naming ceremony is arranged on the day of birth or third or seventh day of the birth.

Elders of the family give blessings to the newly born baby on the day of Aqiqah. Aqiqah is arranged for the purpose of the naming ceremony on the seventh day of the birth most of the time. The mother and father decide and announce the name of their baby. On this day, the head of a child is shaved.
