Hi Surfcarrot and welcome to the forum.
I'm not aware of a naming ceremony as such, but I believe that there is a superstition that it's bad luck to name a boat when it's in the water. Apart from that, just decide on a name and let BW – sorry, let C & RT know the name when you register the boat.
If you want a unique name you can check against the database of registered inland waterway boat names on Jim Shead's site here.

thanks, we will make sure we name it before it goes in the water. perhaps the ceremony is more for seafaring boats.

Try not to take your narrowboat anywhere near the sea. They don't perform too well on the ocean wave!
