Baby and Other Naming Ceremonies
We Celebrant folk do love a good naming ceremony!
For a long time, couples that didn't want a Christening had no alternative. Now, they do!
In a non-religious ceremony, we don't have God-Parents, we have Guide-Parents.
But the essence of the ceremony is the same:
choosing someone who can support and guide your child should something prevent the parents from doing so! After the ceremony you are gifted a lovely Naming Certificate to treasure.
But, Naming Ceremonies aren't restricted to babies............we can name practically anything:
a baby; a pet; a house; a building or even a boat or a car!
These days, we can also help LGBTQIA with Gender Affirmation ceremonies. Why shouldn't you be able to have a naming ceremony to celebrate your new gender or sexuality?
It is an honour to be part of these ceremonies,
no matter what the circumstances.
