Baby Naming
A wonder to hold.
And a lifetime to treasure."
If you're thinking about a Naming Ceremony then you've already decided a traditional religious Christening is not for you but this is a huge occasion in your lives, whether it's your first, second or third baby and you want to mark the occasion and celebrate!
The arrival of a new baby into a family is not just about sleepless nights and nappies - its never ending, pure, unconditional love and Naming Ceremonies are a way of welcoming your child into your family, establishing your childs identity by giving them their name and involving family and friends, asking for their continued love and support in raising your child. It's a celebration of a new beginning, promises and hopes for the future...........and maybe a great family party afterward with bubbly.
But a naming ceremony isn't just for babies. It's ideal for families who have adopted a child or where siblings are coming together further to a marriage and want to celebrate their unity, strengthening their bond.
As a Naming Celebrant in Milton Keynes, every ceremony I conduct is unique and I'm happy to make suggestions and provide guidance in making your celebration special. You may have already been to a Naming Ceremony or have a few ideas of your own but you could consider including:
- The story behind the name you've chosen.
- Including readings, music or internal ceremonies - like a sand ceremony
- Promises made by the 'supporting adults' (God parents)
- Promises made by the parents
- A gift to your child
- Including siblings and grand parents in the ceremony
