Naming Ceremonies
A Beautiful Way to Welcome, Name & Celebrate​
A naming ceremony is a joyful, meaningful way to welcome a child
(or adult!) into the world, your family, and your community.
It’s a celebration of love, identity, and belonging — without the restrictions of religious or legal frameworks.

Your child

Your way
What Is a Naming Ceremony?
A naming ceremony is a non-religious, celebrant-led celebration where you:
Officially announce your child’s name
Share their story
Make promises for their future
Choose special supporting adults
Celebrate with family and friends
It can be traditional, fun, emotional, relaxed, or playful — whatever suits your family.
And yes… adults can have naming ceremonies too!
Perfect for people who’ve changed their name, reclaimed their identity, or simply want to celebrate who they are.
From £700
It's the first chapter of a new story
told beautifully
This isn't just a ceremony
Why Choose a Celebrant (Not a Registrar or Religious Ceremony)?
There’s no legal requirement for a naming ceremony — which means total freedom!
A celebrant:
Writes a ceremony just for your
family.
Includes siblings, grandparents, and friends
Allows cultural, spiritual, or personal traditions
Keeps the tone joyful and inclusive
No scripts.
No rules.
No awkward wording.
Just love, laughter, and meaning.
What Can Be Included?
Your Child’s Story
How they came into your world, what they mean to you, and the dreams you have for them.
Supporting Adults, Often called guide-parents, mentors, or promise-makers — people who agree to love and support your child as they grow.
Family Promises: Words from parents and supporting adults about the values, care, and encouragement they’ll offer.
Symbolic Actions (Add the Magic ✨)
​
Here are some beautiful ways to make your ceremony extra special:
Candle Lighting- A flame to represent the light your child brings into the world.
Tree or Planting Ritual- A living symbol of growth, strength, and family roots.
Sand Blending family members add different colours of sand to show unity and connection.
Wishing Stones- Guests write wishes or words of love on stones for your child.
Time Capsule- Letters, photos, and keepsakes sealed to open on a future birthday.
Water Blessing- A gentle sprinkling of water to symbolise life, hope, and protection
(spiritual, not religious).
​
Where Can a Naming Ceremony Take Place?
Anywhere that feels right!
Your home, a garden or park, a beach, a village hall, a favourite family spot.
Indoors, outdoors, formal, or relaxed — you choose.
Your Ceremony,
Your Way.
​
As your celebrant, I will take the time to get to know your family. I will write a ceremony just for you. I can help you choose readings, music, and rituals. and guide the flow of the day. I will make everyone feel included and comfortable to enjoy the day.
