Naming ceremonies

Having a unique ceremony

Every naming ceremony is unique and can be tailored to your individual wishes.

They are flexible to meet your needs and requirements.

You can personalise your ceremony by:

  • giving promises to your child / children
  • giving promise to your partner
  • giving reasons for the names
  • other family members and friends giving promises
  • referencing absent guests
  • giving your hopes for the future
  • choosing from a selection of poems and readings to be read out
  • presenting your child with a special gift to mark the occasion

Ceremonies usually take about 15 minutes. If you wish to personalise your ceremony it can take up to 30 minutes.

A record of the ceremony will be signed and given to you at the end of the ceremony.
