A Naming ceremony may be for a child – welcoming a child in to a family, by birth or adoption or for anyone celebrating their name or identity – perhaps to celebrate gender identity, divorce, a joining of families or other life event. 

I would be pleased to assist and to help to make your celebration a happy and joyous occasion. A naming ceremony can take place anywhere - at your home, in a pub, café or hotel, perhaps outside, in a park, on the beach. A naming can also be combined with a birthday celebration.

Please give me a call or send me an email to chat things over , without commitment. Once we have talked, we will arrange to meet and make a plan. We will work together to create a ceremony that is completely personal and right for you and your family.

‘Debbie was an absolutely wonderful celebrant. She lead a beautiful ceremony full of intimacy, warmth, and laughter. We really felt she understood our journey to becoming a family and represented this to our collected friends and family with joy and passion. Debbie was friendly and approachable and we were very appreciative that she spent some time after the ceremony chatting and joining in with the celebration. We had a lovely day with Debbie and wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again for another humanist ceremony in future, or recommend her to friends and family’.

Humanist naming ceremonies

A humanist naming ceremony is a joyous event, and the perfect opportunity to gather friends and family to welcome your child into the world, with no reference to religion. It focuses on the child, their future and the circle of love and support around them, offering a sincere and personal alternative to a christening or other religious ceremony.
