Baby Naming Ceremonies in Newcastle & Surrounds
Celebrate New Life With a Ceremony Full of Meaning
The arrival of a baby brings joy, change, and a whole new chapter of love. A naming ceremony is a beautiful way to formally welcome your child into the world and introduce them to the people who will support and care for them throughout life.
Unlike religious baptisms, a naming ceremony is a secular, inclusive celebration — and it can be as gentle, playful, or heartfelt as you like. Whether held at home, in a park, or somewhere special to your family, I’ll help you create a ceremony that reflects your values, culture, and love.
A Ceremony to Honour the Name You’ve Chosen
Names carry meaning. They connect us to our heritage, to the people who came before, and to our hopes for the future. As your celebrant, I’ll work with you to create a naming ceremony that gives weight and beauty to that choice — and makes your child’s first milestone one to remember.
🕊️ Naming ceremonies are perfect for:
Welcoming a newborn, adopted child, or stepchild
Creating a non-religious alternative to a baptism or christening
Celebrating your village — the people who will guide and love your child
Sharing readings, music, symbols and rituals meaningful to your family
