Naming Ceremonies FAQs

What is a naming ceremony?

A naming ceremony is a beautiful way to welcome a new arrival into your family and celebrate the people who will help shape their life. It's an opportunity to gather the people you love and share your hopes and wishes for your child.

​

When can we have a naming ceremony?

Whenever feels right for your family. A naming ceremony can be held when your child is a baby or at another time that has meaning for you. It's your celebration, so there's no need to fit a particular timetable.

​

Who can be involved?

Anyone who is important to your child and your family. Parents, grandparents, siblings, supporting adults, extended family and close friends can all have a role if you'd like them to.

​

What can we include?

Your ceremony can include readings, music, family and friends, promises from parents and supporting adults, special rituals or anything else that feels meaningful to you.

​

Does a naming ceremony have to be religious?

No. A naming ceremony can be completely personal and reflect your family's own beliefs, values and traditions. It can be traditional, relaxed, intimate, fun or completely unique.

​

Can you help us create something different?

Absolutely. There are no set rules about how a naming ceremony has to look. I'll get to know your family, listen to what matters to you and help create a warm and memorable ceremony that celebrates your child and the people around them.
