Naming and Renewal Ceremonies

Naming ceremony

A naming ceremony is a non-religious way of celebrating the birth of a new baby or welcoming adopted or stepchildren into the family. Children of any age can have a naming ceremony, you may wish to include older children as well as your new child. The ceremony will be conducted by a celebrant Registrar.
