Celebrate your naming ceremony

Celebrant naming ceremonies are personalised, non-religious, or spiritual events that welcome a child—or celebrate a name change—into a family and community.  As a professional celebrant, I tailor ceremonies to you and can include symbolic rituals, promises from parents and supporting adults, and readings, offering a meaningful alternative to traditional christenings 

 Introducing your child and celebrating their arrival into the family. 

• Officially acknowledging your child's name, which can be particularly meaningful if the child has chosen to change their name.
• Promises/Vows: Parents can make commitments to the child, and guide-parents (support adults) can make pledges of support.
• Symbolic Rituals: Incorporating activities like sand ceremonies, tree planting, candle lighting, or memory boxes. 

Changing your name can be one of the most meaningful steps for any trans person in expressing who you are. The changing of your name acknowledges your journey of discovery and symbolises your new beginning. A renaming or trans naming ceremony offers you a life moment.  So why wouldn’t you mark this moment with a meaningful ceremony. Bespoke, written with only you at its heart. 

• Re-naming Vows: Formally introducing oneself with a new name and hearing loved ones use it.
• "Stepping Over the Threshold": A symbolic gesture representing moving into a new phase of life.
• Support Pledges: Friends and family may offer pledges of support for the individual's future.

Enjoy your perfect ceremony, what ever the occasion. If you want to acknowledge a special event with a bespoke ceremony with reading, poems and a celebrant to bring it all together call and discuss it with me. It would be my pleasure to make it all happen for you
