Many families choose to hold a simchat bat or brit banot, baby naming ceremony, to welcome their baby daughter's into the Jewish community.  There is no requirement about when the simchat bat should be held. It often follows a similar structure as the brit milah, with one of several covenantal or welcoming acts (e.g., candlelighting, footwashing, or being wrapped in a tallit) as the ritual centerpiece. Some families follow the simpler and longer-standing custom of having their new daughter receive her Hebrew or Yiddish name during a synagogue Torah-reading service, rather than holding a freestanding simchat bat.

Mazel Tov!  And please contact the Temple office to arrange a time to discuss plans for your daughter's baby naming with Rabbi Braun.
