Can anyone give me some suggestions for readings for baby boy's naming ceremony please?

We are having a humanist naming ceremony for our DS in July ( he will be 8 months then), but are not keen on the readings suggested by the humanist celebrant. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

For my DS1 we did:

At 7 o clock every evening
my Mum tucks me up in my bed.
I'm nice and snug in my 'jamas,
beside me my faithful old ted.
I always nod off very quickly -
before Mum has turned off the light,
but when it's her bedtime much later -
well then i wake up for the night.
For there's no time I like better,
than the hours between midnight and three,
for Mum hasn't got any housework
and can give her attention to me.
And when I start yelling and shouting
Mum knows that she has to be quick,
for the night when she leaves me to grizzle
is the night I decide to be sick.
But Mum can't mind in the slightest
at being my playmate til two -
she would normally spend this time sleeping
as she has nothing much better to do.
Some nights she mixes a cocktail
from the bottles she keeps on the shelf,
which sometimes she gives me to swallow -
and sometimes she gulps down herself!
And if in the morning i'm sleepy
and feel in the need for a perk,
I can have forty winks in my pushchair
while Mum gets on with her work.
But nothings as nice as the night time
and nothing can equal the pleasure,
of finding it's four in the morning
and being Mums wide awake treasure.
