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 £250. 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 20% deposit to secure your booking.
