A humanist naming ceremony is a meaningful, joyful and inclusive celebration of your new baby or child that will be enjoyed by family and friends of all ages and beliefs. 

A non-religious naming ceremony sets in stone this special new chapter in your family’s unique story in a way that’s authentic to you, and will be remembered long into the future. 

You and your little one will be at the heart of the ceremony. As your naming ceremony celebrant, I’ll take the time to get to know you as a family to make sure your ceremony is tailored just for you. 

 

I also offer bilingual naming ceremonies in French and Welsh. 

Building Blocks of Your Humanist Naming Ceremony

​

• We’ll talk all about your little one – their personality, the milestones they’ve reached so far and your favourite things to do as a family

• You can make promises to your child, a blueprint for the wonderful life you’ll share together

• Celebrating your child’s ‘village’ – you can choose guideparents or godparents who’ll always look out for them

• We’ll tell the story behind your baby’s name and have a triumphant naming with all your guests

• Your choice of readings and/or music

• Rounding off the ceremony with bubbles, a certificate or any way you like…and ending with a great big cheer for your little one!

 

Remember:

 

• You can have your baby’s non-religious naming day anywhere you’d like – from your back garden at home, your local village hall to a pub function room or favourite park. 

• There’s no upper age limit for your child’s naming ceremony, and you’re more than welcome to name any older children at the same time at no extra cost. Why not combine a naming ceremony with a first birthday party?  

​

Where do you lead humanist naming ceremonies?

​

• I'm based in south-east London, and I lead naming ceremonies across London, Kent, East and West Sussex, Surrey, Wales and beyond - though I'm always happy to explore new places too! 

 

How much does a naming ceremony with you cost? 

 

My standard naming ceremony fee is £275. 

 

This includes:

​

• All planning meetings

• Your bespoke naming ceremony script 

• Leading the ceremony on the day itself

• A keepsake copy of your script to treasure long after your child has grown up

• Travel within the M25 (travel and/or accommodation expenses will apply to ceremonies outside this area)
