Naming Ceremonies
Welcome to the #banishtheblah gang!
So, you had a baby, or maybe you adopted a new member of the family, or maybe you are celebrating the blending of two families.
You might have undergone transition and want to say a farewell your previous name and celebrate your new one.
New beginnings are always exciting so marking them with a naming ceremony is a good way to celebrate.
there are many reasons why we have naming ceremonies

Namings and renamings can be as simple or as complex as you like, you can involve family members, godparents, support parents and anyone who will be a part of the journey.

Older children can contribute...
I love babies ( doesn't everyone? ) but never feel you have left it too late to hold a naming ceremony. Older children can be a part of the planning process and play an active role in the ceremony itself.
If it is you who is taking on a new name then we can make it truly fitting to your story. there may be tears, there may be laughter, there will definitely be love.
