Name Giving Ceremonies...


Why Name Giving Ceremonies?
Name Giving ceremonies are a great occasion to celebrate your new baby and to welcome your child into the lives of your family and friends. Name Giving ceremonies are conducted by civil celebrants and are an alternative to a baptism or christening.

Name Giving ceremonies also provide adults who have officially changed their name the right to publicly declare their new identity to family and friends.

Name Giving ceremonies do have a legal requirement and I must sight the original Birth Certificate prior to the ceremony taking place. 

The Naming Certificate would need to be signed by five (5) witnesses, for example myself, parents, and guardians.
