Naming ceremonies

 Humanist Naming and Welcoming ceremonies are held to welcome a new life into the family, the community and to the world. These simple ceremonies are full of joy as this wonderful occasion is celebrated while recognising the responsibility that comes with this new life.

 At a Humanist Naming/Welcoming ceremony the parent has the opportunity to declare publicly their love for their child and their aspirations for the child’s future. You can make this declaration among family and friends in a meaningful and significant ceremony.

 Our ceremonies are very personal and your celebrant will work with you to put together a ceremony that is right for you and your child/children.

Many people choose to hold the ceremonies in their own homes (often in the garden, weather permitting). Otherwise they are normally held in a local venue – a hotel, community/sports centre or GAA club. Woodlands & parks are good venues too.


A Baby Naming ceremony typically takes anywhere from 15 mins – 30 mins, it’s up to you.
