Name giving
Welcome your little one.
A joyful ceremony to welcome your child into the family and the world, surrounded by the people who will help them grow.
A meaningful welcome
A name giving ceremony responds to the cultural and community need to welcome a child into the family and the world. It reminds everyone of the great responsibility of raising a child, and recognises those who will play an important role in the child’s development.
Family relationships are deepened, and parents and godparents become more fully aware of their responsibilities toward the child. The ceremony can take place at any time from birth to age 18, and is a wonderful occasion for joy, hope and acceptance.
You may wish to appoint close family or friends as godparents: mentors you’ve chosen to help guide your child through life.
“Yasmin performed a Naming Ceremony for our baby daughter who was 6 months at the time. It all went very well and the ceremony was a success. Our friends also commented on how nice it was.”
