As you can see, there is plenty of scope for making your child’s ceremony a very personal and unique event.
Any parent can arrange a Naming Ceremony, whether married or not, with any spiritual or religious beliefs or with none or from any cultural background.
Children of any age can have a Naming Ceremony, not just young babies. Ceremonies can also be used to celebrate adoptive children and stepchildren into a new relationship and form part of the family bonding within an extended family unit. More than one child can be named in these ceremonies, but they must belong to the same family. Children from another family, even though they may be related, cannot be included in the same Ceremony. Registrars’ will be carrying out these ceremonies, but they will be acting in the capacity of employees of Lifecycle Marketing Limited. If you choose to hold your ceremony in the Register Office it will be designated as a private venue during the ceremony.
