Naming a daughter when there's no minyan around
+5
−0
Normally in my experience, a baby girl is named in the presence of a minyan, generally at a Torah reading. If her parents are not expecting to be with a minyan for the foreseeable future, should they ideally
- appoint an agent to name her in a minyan's presence (and does this require a legally effective agency appointment?),
- wait until they will be with a minyan,
- name her absent a minyan, or
- what?
