NAMING CEREMONY

​

A naming ceremony is an opportunity for a family to formally welcome a child into the family, and community that surrounds them. They are a modern-day alternative to a christening or baptism and allow family and friends to surround your child with love, warmth, support and guidance.

​

Naming ceremonies can be done whenever, soon after their birth, at their first birthday, or another significant occasion. There are a range of non-religious rituals that can be undertaken to signify the occasion, and this can include the nomination and commitment of guardians to help watch over and guide them into adulthood.

​

On the day I will present you, the god parents, and the grand parents with a Commemorative Naming Certificate.

​

I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your thoughts for a naming ceremony and share my collection of rituals, readings, and ideas for celebrating your child’s Naming Ceremony.
