Naming Ceremonies

A Nam­ing Cer­e­mony is a very beau­ti­ful and sym­bolic way to wel­come your child to your family.

The Cer­e­mony isn’t only for new born babies. Some fam­i­lies choose to have a com­bined nam­ing day for all of their chil­dren. It can also be a very spe­cial way of unit­ing a fam­ily of adopted chil­dren or for the Name Change of an adult.

It is a per­fect alter­na­tive to a reli­gious Chris­ten­ing or Bap­tism and involves much the same prepa­ra­tion and cel­e­bra­tion.

I have a col­lec­tion of Poems and Read­ings which we can use and adapt to the Cer­e­mony. There are also beau­ti­ful rit­u­als that will unite the fam­ily and also bring the guests in as part of the Celebration.

Nam­ing Cer­e­monies involve the impor­tant peo­ple in your family’s life. Some­times par­ents ask close fam­ily or friends to play a sup­port­ive role in their child’s life, these peo­ple are con­sid­ered equally as impor­tant as God­par­ents or Mentors.

At the end of the Cer­e­mony, I will present you with a beau­ti­ful Cer­tifi­cate as a memento of the Day.

I con­sider the nam­ing of a Baby one of the most beau­ti­ful cel­e­bra­tions, and it is a priv­i­lege to per­form the Cer­e­mony for my clients, who I hope will keep in touch from time to time with the progress and update of their very spe­cial gift.

If you aren’t quite sure what to do or where to start, I have a basic check­list of things to con­sider which I will make avail­able to you at our first meet­ing.
