Baby Naming Celebrant - Oxfordshire & the Cotswolds
A Bespoke Ceremony, from £315
Who is this for
A baby naming ceremony is a great way to welcome children into your family. For a long time, non-religious people have missed out on a secular ceremony with similarities to a christening. But a naming ceremony is increasingly popular as a way to formally celebrate a new family member's arrival. And, of course, this applies to adopted children, as well as birth children.
How a Naming Ceremony Works
The ceremony can take place anywhere you wish. Many people choose to do this in their own home or garden, but the venue is completely up to you.
Typical components of a naming ceremony include readings, music, the appointment of guide parents, parental promises and a symbolic addition (such as a sand ceremony or candle-lighting).

As a Humanist, I tend to work with parents who don't want any religious content in their ceremonies.

Namings
Babies, adoptees, change of name
Most of the naming ceremonies that I conduct are for babies. But that's just the start. Other occasions where a naming ceremony might be appropriate include adoption or where someone has decided on a new identity or name.
Because there are no rules, we can work together to create a perfect ceremony.
