The Making of a Moment –

Your Baby Naming Ceremony

 

A heartfelt ceremony to celebrate your new family member, welcome them to the world, and create a lasting memory for your family.

welcome new life

or a new chapter in your life!

A baby naming or welcoming ceremony is a beautiful way to celebrate your child’s arrival and officially welcome them into your (and now their) family and community. As an inclusive and personalised alternative to a traditional christening or religious ceremony, a naming day marks this important rite of passage while giving your child the freedom to choose their own beliefs as they grow.

Whether you envision an intimate gathering in your home or garden or a meaningful ceremony at a special venue, I’m here to help you create a unique and memorable day.

Naming ceremonies are about celebrating your child’s individuality and the values you hold dear as a family. I will create a ceremony that celebrates them and all that they can be.

Here are just some ideas you can include to fully embrace the occasion, choosing:

L

Music, poems, readings, or blessings that resonate with you.

L

Family traditions or cultural elements to honour your heritage and beliefs.

L

Symbolic gestures (think lighting candles, planting trees)

This is your opportunity to declare your vows as parents, and designate guardians, or invite loved ones to share their hopes and wishes for your child’s future

Incorporating Meaningful Rituals and Traditions

With me, Helen Noble, as your celebrant, your naming ceremony will reflect your unique story. That might be the journey to parenthood. You might be a single parent. You might be a SOLO mother. Deciding on how you want your future to look, and then making it happen, is something indeed to celebrate!

I’ll guide you in weaving together meaningful elements, whether that’s incorporating:

L

Symbols of anointing and light

Like water or oil blessings, or candlelight

L

Rituals that celebrate new roles

Such as affirmations of parenthood or commitments from guide parents or mentors.

L

Cultural or spiritual touches

Acknowledging your family’s roots or simply celebrating the joy of coming together.

Naming ceremonies are not about religion, unless you want them to be. I will always make space for faith and spirituality if that is something you wish to include. They’re about creating a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate.

Whether you want something simple & heartfelt or rich in traditions & symbolism, I’ll help you craft a day that feels truly yours
