Naming Ceremonies
Celebrating the names we are given—and the ones we claim
Names carry meaning. They hold stories, identities, and intentions. Whether you're welcoming a child into the world or affirming a chosen name as part of your own becoming, a naming ceremony offers a sacred space to be witnessed, celebrated, and held.
As an ordained minister and community steward, I offer ceremonies that honor both tradition and transformation. Each one is crafted with care, consent, and emotional presence—because every name deserves reverence.
👶 For Children & Families 🧑🧑🧒
Welcoming a new life is a moment of deep joy and responsibility. I offer child naming ceremonies that:
Celebrate your child’s name and unique spirit
Invite family and community to offer blessings or commitments
Include optional rituals like candle lighting, water blessings, or symbolic gifts
Can be secular, spiritual, or interfaith—tailored to your values
These ceremonies are gentle, joyful, and designed to grow with your child’s story.
🏳️⚧️ For Chosen Names & Transitions 🏳️⚧️
Claiming a name is a powerful act of self-definition. I offer chosen name ceremonies that:
Honor gender transitions, identity affirmations, or personal rebirth
Create space for community witness, affirmation, and celebration
Include rituals like name scrolls, mirror blessings, or circle affirmations
Center emotional safety, consent, and your unique journey
These ceremonies are deeply affirming, and can be private or public—whatever feels right for you.
How I Support You:
Collaborative ceremony design based on your story and needs
Custom scripts, readings, and ritual suggestions
Logistical clarity and printable outlines for smooth flow
Grounded, compassionate officiation with emotional attunement
Ready to Begin?
I offer free consultations to explore your vision and see if we’re a good fit. My availability is typically weekday evenings (4–9pm), with flexibility for ceremony dates.
Whether you’re naming a child or claiming your truth, I’m here to help you mark the moment with love, clarity, and care.
Would you like help drafting a printable ceremony planning guide or a blog post on “How to Celebrate a Chosen Name”? I can also help you create a gentle inquiry form for families or individuals.
