Baby Naming Ceremony

A Loving Welcome Into the World—Crafted With Meaning, Ritual, and Heart

Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most sacred transitions we experience, and it deserves to be marked with love, intention, and joy. A baby naming or child welcoming ceremony allows families to affirm their values, honour their lineage, and celebrate the unique being who has joined them.

As a family celebrant, I create soulful, personalised ceremonies that centre your story, not a script. Whether you're spiritual but not religious, interfaith, multicultural, LGBTQIA+, or simply seeking something meaningful beyond traditional baptisms or christenings, this ceremony can be tailored to your beliefs, community, and hopes for your child.

You may wish to include supporting adults—often known as guideparents, life mentors, or guardians—who can make loving commitments to walk alongside your child as they grow. Unlike traditional godparents tied to religious rites, these roles can be shaped entirely by you, offering spiritual guidance, emotional support, or simply a steady presence. Naming them within the ceremony not only affirms their importance but also expands the circle of love, care, and belonging around your child.

I bring a calm, compassionate presence, a sense of ritual, and full respect for your family’s culture, heritage, and chosen structure. You may also wish to include name meanings, ancestral acknowledgements, candle lighting, readings, or symbolic blessings. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, an adopted child, or an older child into your family, the ceremony will reflect your love, values, and identity.

Held in your home, a garden, a community space—or anywhere that feels right—your naming ceremony will be designed with care, accessibility, and beauty in mind.

Let’s create something timeless, affirming, and deeply personal to mark this beautiful new beginning.
