Baby Naming

Welcome your little one into the world with a baby naming ceremony that’s as unique and special as you. A naming ceremony is an alternative to a traditional christening, and a beautiful way to celebrate your child’s arrival.

Enhancements

Include religious or non-religious elements in your ceremony, add readings or poems, choose music that feels right, and include symbolic rituals. Every ceremony I create is personal and bespoke, designed to reflect your story and the dreams you have for your new baby.

Guide Parents

Together, we’ll craft a ceremony that is warm, inclusive, and memorable. Enjoy the freedom to involve siblings, grandparents, or special friends as guide parents. Include rituals such as candle lighting, sand pouring, creating a memory book, or capturing hand and footprints as keepsakes.

Baby Naming Location

This ceremony can take place anywhere that feels meaningful — your home, garden, favourite outdoor location, or an event venue. Whether you’re in Kerry, Cork, Limerick or elsewhere in Ireland, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that feels authentic and full of love; one that will make a connection with everyone involved.

Vows and Blessings

Many families choose to include parental vows, guide parent promises, or blessings from guests to honour their new arrival. Whatever you decide, your celebrant-led baby naming ceremony will be a truly special alternative to a christening — a celebration of family, love, and new beginnings.
