Naming Ceremonies
Baby Naming - Adoptions - Stepchildren
A naming ceremony is a beautiful way to welcome a child into the world and celebrate their identity and place within the family, which can be a really joyous occasion.
Not all naming ceremonies are for babies, you may wish to celebrate adoptions or stepchildren.
I would work closely with you so that you can tell me your story in the way that you wish, understanding your hopes, dreams, and values so that I can create a personalised and meaningful ceremony.
This is where the fun starts as there are so many ways that we can make the day extra special, by including a sand ceremony, planting a tree, releasing balloons, bubble blowing, creating a tree of family fingerprints, the options of creating something special and fun are endless!
Gender Affirmations - Transgender renaming
Every name carries with it a sense of identity, the power of belonging and the promise of new beginnings
Not all naming ceremonies are for babies, you may wish to celebrate a gender affirmation or transgender renaming. These types of naming ceremonies honour the unique journey of the individual as they embrace their true selves and can be so much fun!
The ceremony would be about love, laughter and community, where you can come together with those that have supported you to celebrate the unveiling of a new name or gender.
We could incorporate stories and shared memories, creating plenty of smiles, creating an atmosphere filled with warmth and most importantly acceptance.
What Are the Steps Involved I hear you say…
Well first off I would come and meet you in person so that we can get to know each other and understand what you are looking for to make your day extra special.
One of my key roles will be to create a personalised ceremony for you so it would be great if we could go through a set of questions so that I can obtain a full understanding of what you looking for and how the ceremony should feel, you might want a fun, uplifting vibe or something more traditional, we can do what ever feels right for you.
I’m happy to suggest poems or readings and have some lovely naming ceremony traditions that you might like to incorporate.
On your special day I will be accountable and co-ordinate all elements of your ceremony, making sure your special day runs smoothly and to plan and most importantly that you and your family a great time!
