Naming ceremonies in the
London Borough of Barnet A naming ceremony is a formal and dignified non-religious ceremony
designed to welcome a child or children into the family and wider community.
It provides an opportunity to announce the chosen names and for parents and other chosen adults to make a commitment to support the child or
children. These ceremonies can also be used to welcome adoptive children and step children into a new relationship.
A specially written ceremony is available on request, which you can tailor to your needs. You can also present your child or children with a special gift to mark the occasion. A souvenir record will be presented at the end of the ceremony.
You do not have to live in Barnet to arrange a naming ceremony with Barnet Registration and Nationality Service. Your ceremony can take place at one of the approved premises in the borough or at any location - including your home or garden - that meets our health and safety requirements.
Please contact Barnet Registration and Nationality service for more information on
020 8359 6400 (Monday to Saturday 9am - 4pm).
