Unlike traditional christenings, naming ceremonies offer a secular option that enables families to celebrate the child’s name without any religious connotations. This means that parents can feel free to design the ceremony around their family’s beliefs, traditions, and preferences. The event can include readings, music, and special promises from parents and godparents, creating a deeply emotional and intimate atmosphere.
Each naming ceremony is crafted by Lorna to reflect the essence of the family and the child being celebrated. With a focus on personalisation, Lorna encourages the inclusion of:
Special readings or poems that resonate with your family’s values
Symbolic gestures such as the lighting of candles or planting a tree
Meaningful rituals, such as a blessing or vow from family members
This personal touch transforms a simple event into a memorable experience that families can cherish for years to come.
