Naming & Welcoming 

 

Welcoming and celebrating a childs arrival into the world or into a family is a wonderful and important rite of passage.

​

A humanist naming ceremony gives parents who don't feel a religious christening is appropriate for them, the opportunity to welcome their child in the company of their family and friends. 

 

The occasion provides the opportunity to appoint guide parents or significant adults who will take a role in your childs life and formally (or informally) pledge their promises. It also gives time and space to thank all those who love and care for the child, such as grandparents, aunties and uncles, cousins and siblings.

 

We can include symbolic gestures, readings and poetry, promises and vows, music and much more. A naming ceremony can be in a venue of your choice or even in your home or garden. And it will be individual and tailored to your wishes.

 

Most of all its a chance to celebrate and have lots of fun!

 

I had naming ceremonies for both of my children and I am happy to meet parents to talk through all of the various options, discuss their ideas and hopefully meet the star of the show!
