If you're planning an outdoor naming ceremony, candles won't work, but helium balloons definitely will. And the children there will love them! I think it's a great idea to let every balloon symbolise a special wish for the little one's future. You can even write the wish on the balloon. At this naming ceremony the balloons were released at the very end while I said, "As the balloons rise freely into the sky, our hopes and dreams for the baby also take flight. May he enjoy the freedom to pursue his goals, meet his challenges and have a life full of true happiness." The baby however was most upset that 'his' balloon had disappeared so it had to be quickly replaced before the service ended in tears!
