A naming ceremony welcomes your child into your family and wider community. Parents and guardians have the opportunity to make a commitment and set intentions for their child’s future.

Celebrating the change in one's name can be one of the most meaningful steps to express identity. Whether it is for gender expression, after divorce or for professional reasons, this is an opportunity to share and celebrate your personal milestone.
Names make such a difference to how we identify with ourselves and those around us. The changing or giving of a name is a joyous and personal event in which loved ones can come together to celebrate. My aim is to support you by developing and delivering a memorable ceremony.
What to expect
- An initial meeting to explore a range of ceremonies and celebrations.
- This is a personal journey that will allow you to make choices of how you want yourself or your child to be welcomed.
- For naming a child, mentors or guide parents are often chosen to offer their support throughout the life of the child.
- Is there any music you might want played, any readings or stories that you like? Would you like to use unity candles? There are many ways we can conduct this ceremony!
- There are no rules or limitations (as long as it's legal). I will be there to guide you every step of the way.
How much this will cost
- The cost for ceremonies in the Sussex/Surrey area is £300.
- For ceremonies further afield, the cost will be reflective of additional time and travel.
