Baby Naming Ceremonies in Exeter & Devon

A lovely way to welcome a new life into the world

Nothing brings more joy than a new life, and it’s natural to want to celebrate your new arrival with the people you love.

A baby naming ceremony is a wonderful way to symbolically name your baby and welcome them into the world with family and friends.

If you’re not religious, a christening probably isn’t for you. But if you’d like to bring your family and friends together to celebrate your new addition, a baby naming could be just what you’re looking for.

I would love to help you create a ceremony that feels right for your family.

Your baby naming, your way

There is no limit to the creativity of a baby naming ceremony.

  • Songs
  • Readings
  • Tree planting
  • Gifts
  • Art
  • Candle lighting

Songs, readings, tree planting, gifts, art or candle lighting could all form part of your celebration. The ceremony could include an explanation of the name you’ve chosen, your hopes for your child’s future, and promises from guardians or mentors instead of godparents.

Older siblings can take an active role too, helping them to feel involved and celebrate the new addition to their family.

There’s no set format and no right or wrong way to do it. It’s simply an opportunity to gather the people who matter most and celebrate your new family member.
