Naming ceremony readings ideas | North East of England & Yorkshire Celebrant

Here are some of the naming ceremony readings used by my lovely families!

You'll Always Be My Baby, Jessica Urlichs

You’ll always be my baby

just heavier to hold

You’ll always be my beginning

but a comfort that feels old

You’ll always be my heart beat

a familiar but new sound

You’ll always be the ticking clock

in a world you made slow down

You’ll always be my worry

when you trip and when you fall

You’ll always be my tears

the happiest of them all

You’ll always be my constant

the pulse of our home

You’ll always be my calling

more so when I’m alone

You’ll always be my journey

I’m taken away with you

You’ll always be my weakness

and a strength I never knew

You’ll always be my final thoughts

even on those harder days

You’ll always be my forever

and forever be my always

You’ll always be my reason

even when I’m grey and old

You’ll always be my baby

just heavier to hold

Wishes on Your Naming Day

I wish you such a happy life

That’s jam-packed full of fun

Adventures, friendships, laughter, love

And picnics in the sun

I wish you a courageous life

With no dreams left untried

So that, whichever path you take

You’ll always walk with pride

I wish you an accomplished life

That celebrates your wins

But let you know the equal joy

Of simply joining in.

But most of all, I wish for you

The life that you will choose

Your name is given, but who you’ll be

Is completely down to you.

We Are Home - Ms Moem

Comfortable and inviting,

It’s where I want to be.

It’s when I go when I feel low

To help replenish me.

It’s safe, and yet exciting,

The place I love the most.

Makes me want to never leave;

To always keep it close.

It holds so much potential,

My favourite place I’ve been.

It’s warm and super cosy.

The place of all my dreams.

I love the way it feels

So familiar and secure.

It seems quite clear, what I have here

Some search a lifetime for.

And I can be myself here

Without pretence and fuss.

Some people call it home

But I simply call it us.

A Daughter’s Gift - Robert Sexton

When I imagine

the life you will live,

I think of the pleasure

your presence will give.

I see the joy your smile will light

and the wonders you'll weave

when your dreams take flight.

I feel the hope

that will grow with your grace

and the difference you'll make

to each heart you embrace.

I imagine your life

as I know it will be;

for, my daughter, you've given

all this to me.
