These ceremonies have a history almost as old as mankind. A son was not a true legal member of the family until the father had named him in a ceremony. Naming or name giving was the rite which brought the child into the family.
Name giving ceremonies performed by Celebrants have become increasingly popular. These ceremonies are a fulfilling and meaningful experience. It may be an occasion to name and welcome a new baby or perhaps to celebrate the naming of an older child.

Family relationships are deepened and the parents become more aware of their responsibilities. So, of course, do the godparents (sometimes referred to as "mentors" or "guardians") and the grandparents. These unique ceremonies are enjoyed by the wider circle of family and friends.

At the completion of the ceremony certificates are presented to the child, the parents and godparents as a keepsake and official record of the name giving ceremony. I am committed to providing this personalised and professional service to those parents who wish to avail themselves of a beautiful and unique ceremony.
