Naming ceremonies

Celebrate the birth of a new baby or welcome adopted or stepchildren to the family with a naming cermony.

Staff will help in designing a ceremony to suit the individual needs of your family. The format can include:

  • a welcoming of the child into the family 
  • an announcement of the chosen names 
  • promises of commitment and support for the child from parents and supporting adults 
  • music
  • a selection of poems or readings 
  • signing of the commemorative certificate.

Please note: Naming ceremonies do not contain religious references. Parents wishing to have a religious ceremony should contact their local church or religious community.
