Naming Ceremonies

Naming Ceremonies

When families are celebrating the birth of a new baby, they often feel the need for a special occasion to gather together their closest family and friends. One way this can be done is by holding a naming ceremony designed to meet the individual needs of the family.  

Any parent, whether married or not, can arrange a naming ceremony. This can be organised regardless of any cultural or religious background.

Ceremonies can also be used to celebrate adoptive children and step-children entering into a new family relationship. This can often form an important part of family bonding within an extended family unit.

Please note that the naming ceremonies offered do not contain religious references.
