What Makes a Naming Ceremony Special
Flexible & personal Celebrate anywhere that feels like “you”: home, garden, pub, hotel, woodland, or community space.
Blog guides to help you plan your ceremony
Clear, simple ideas to inspire your readings, rituals, and personal touches.
Guideparents (or godparents) Choose special people to support your child. I help them shape promises that feel modern and meaningful.
Your child’s name & story I gently weave the meaning of their name — and your family story — into the ceremony.
Readings & poems I can help you choose something heartfelt and non‑religious, and I’m happy to read it for you.
Optional rituals Simple, beautiful touches like candle lighting, wish jars, tree planting, or sand blending.
