A Naming Ceremony can take any format that you choose.
It may be a simple welcome to our world, a formal naming of your child, or a blessing for the baby and your family. You can bring your loved ones together to acknowledge your child and who they are within your family. We can celebrate their name and it's significance. |
If the parent or families belong to different cultures or faiths, naming ceremonies can be a good solution to include all the elements you want.
The naming ceremony can have no religious content or include something to represent the values, culture of beliefs of both parents. Your ceremony may include readings, blessings, a symbolic enactment like planting a rose or tree, or a sand ceremony. |
"I knew from the very first conversation with Jade that she was the perfect person to carry out our daughter's naming ceremony. She was very enthusiastic, full of great ideas and made the process fun!
Jade was very flexible and happy to go along with our ever-changing plans. She conducted a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that we could not have been happier with. I would highly recommend Jade as a celebrant, you would be lucky to find someone more professional and well-organised than Jade!"

Let's welcome your baby into your world with family and friends.
Your naming ceremony will recognise your newest addition to the family and acknowledge the important members in your child's life. After months of waiting, your wee bundle of joy has burst into the world, after 40 weeks of pondering and growing excitement. |
A naming is the perfect opportunity for the important people in your child's life to give well wishes, pledge their support to yourself and your child.
Grandparents, siblings, godparents, the nearest and dearest, can be recognised for who they are and the role they will play as your child grows and journeys through life. Older brothers and sisters can reaffirm their place and importance in the family. |
You can have a ceremony any time of their life. You don't have to wait for a birthday or other significant event.
When the borders opened up after covid lockdowns, Jade was busy with naming celebrations, as families finally could get together! It is lovely to have Grandparents, Godparents, Aunties or Uncles, or even your childs siblings, say a few words, make promises or read to your wee one. |

A naming ceremony isn't just for babies or young children.
We can choose to change our name, for numerous reasons, including that we no longer feel we fit our old name. I often include a naming ceremony in a gender transition or divorce ceremony. Your name is important and carries a lot of energy with it. With a beautifully written ceremony, your naming can be special to you; it can represent your new journey, on your new life, with your new name. |
I aim to assist you in anyway I can, to create a naming ceremony that is fitting for your child, loved one or yourself.
Let's chat about what you would like. Not sure what you want ? It all good - I have got you, I am full of good ideas! Love, Jade x Connect with me. |
