A naming ceremony is an ancient tradition, shared in various forms across cultures around the world. It is a joyful occasion and a meaningful alternative to a christening.

This special ceremony celebrates the birth of your child and formally welcomes your new arrival into the wider circle of family and friends, surrounded by promises of love, guidance, and support. The ceremony can be as formal or as relaxed as you wish and is fully tailored to reflect your values and beliefs.

On the day, your child’s name is entered into a Naming Register and the register is signed by the parents, the celebrant, and any others you choose to play a special role in your child’s life, such as godparents, guardians, or mentors. Your child will receive a Naming Certificate, and godparents, guardians, or mentors may also receive a certificate as a keepsake of the occasion.
