A naming ceremony is a personal, non-religious celebration of your child.
It is a very touching way to welcome a new addition to the family.

What is a humanist naming ceremony?
A humanist naming is suitable for all babies and children. It is a way of announcing and celebrating your child's arrival in a way that is joyful and informal, yet still ceremonial. Parents can make personal statements and appoint 'guide-parents' instead of god parents. Family and friends can be involved and you can have readings, music, entertainment or perhaps a symbolic gesture.

What kind of ceremony can I have?
A humanist naming can take place in almost any location, daytime or evening, indoors or outdoors, and can be dignified and formal or relaxed and fun. It can be as short or as long as you like. It can end with a toast or cake-cutting, or something symbolic like the release of balloons.

   

Cost:
The British Humanist Association has set up a price band for celebrant fees for namings which is currently £140-£250.
