Naming Ceremony FAQs

Where can I hold my baby's naming ceremony?

You can have a baby naming ceremony anywhere you like, indoors or outside (weather permitting!) Popular choices include your home or garden, local community centres, village halls, pub function rooms and local parks.

My child's a bit older, can they still have a naming ceremony (e.g. with a younger sibling?)

Of course! While lots of parents have a naming ceremony around the time of their baby's first or second birthday, there's no age limit.

Can I have godparents? What should I call them?

Supporting adults can play an important role in your baby's naming ceremony, and they'll of course have a special relationship with your child as they grow up. You can call them anything you like, from godparents to guideparents and sparents!

Do you offer re-naming ceremonies for adults?

Yes! A new name is a massive milestone at any age and deserves to be celebrated. Your new name might reflect a new marital status, alignment with your gender identity or it might just be a better reflection of who you truly are.

How much do you charge for a naming ceremony?

My standard naming ceremony fee is £275. This includes all meetings, your bespoke ceremony script and a keepsake copy, travel within the M25 and of course leading your ceremony on the big day itself. I ask for a 50% deposit to secure your booking.
