Naming Ceremonies (Name giving)

A Name Giving Ceremony is a time to celebrate a new life among us, the honouring of a chosen name and the opportunity to offer our hopes and good wishes for the child's life journey.

This ceremony creates a moment of significance to be shared with family and friends.

The Name Giving can be enhanced by many additions that I have written especially for you to symbolise your dreams and wishes for your child such as

  • The Rainbow Ceremony
  • The Ceremony of Wishes
  • Child of the Universe and the Environment Ceremony
  • The Coins and Wishes Ceremony

A uniquely designed, framed Name Giving Ceremony Certificate that contains the story of your child's name will be provided to remind you of this wonderful day in your child's life.

Grandparents, great-grandparents and mentors can be included in the ceremony and an appropriate Certificate will be provided for them also.

During a relaxed meeting we will create a ceremony that not only truly reflects your love, dreams and wishes for your child but   is also inclusive of your family and the friends who mean so much to you and your child.

Jade, Paige and Jordyn after Jade's Naming Ceremony officiated by Julie Dober, Ballarat Civil CelebrantDear Julie, How can words every say how much we appreciate the service you wrote and performed for Jordyn and Jade on their naming days. Jordyn's naming day was such a happy occasion and your words and ceremony (to which you created especially for her) were lovely and you really understood what we wanted for her special day. We appreciated that you had listened to us with what we wanted to achieve for her day and gave us so much more than we expected. Once again thank you.

When we decided that it was time to name Jade we had no hesitation in asking you to write and perform Jade's service as we knew that you would compile something beautiful just as you had done for Jordyn's naming day last year.  You were thoughtful caring and kind, sensitive and understanding to what we wished to achieve with this special occasion and once again you amazed us with the beauty of your words and how you captured the essence of our lovely little girl as well as again including all the "special people" in her life within your service.

Thank you so much for all that you have done for our family. With warmest wishes, Jodi & Paul
