Naming ceremonies

Our registrar leads your naming ceremony and welcomes you and your guests. The ceremony is non‑religious and personal to your family.

Promises and readings

You and any supporting adults make promises to your child, such as offering love, care and guidance as they grow. You can choose close friends or relatives as supporting adults. Short readings can be included, and a guest may read one if you wish.

Finishing the ceremony

At the end, everyone involved signs a record of naming certificate. We then present the certificate to you as a keepsake of the day.
