Naming ceremonies
EACH NEW LIFE is special and there is nothing more important than receiving our name in front of family and friends. For those who do not want a religious ceremony, I can work with you to create a naming ceremony for your baby that can incorporate traditional rituals and include the commitment of guardians or simply focus on naming and celebration.
​
I also deliver ceremonies for anyone who is changing their name to affirm their gender and/or identity. In this situation, I would be delighted to work with you to create a ceremony that honours all aspects of your identity and that will unite your family and friends in celebration of your chosen name.
​
I would be honoured to work with you to celebrate the adoption of a young person into your family. I can collaborate with you in designing rituals for the ceremony which will symbolise the encompassing joy of extending and enriching your lives together.
​
Naming ceremonies can be held wherever you want them to be; in your home, garden, community centre, stately home, castle, or outdoors. You can choose where you want to hold this event. ¶

“Names are powerful things. They act as an identity marker and a kind of map, locating you in time and geography. More than that, they can be a compass.” Nicola Yoon
