How to decide on a name for a boy or girl according to the Saints: recommendations

If you have firmly decided that your child has been awarded a patron from the Orthodox faith, who will indirectly help him in life, then you need to give the name of the Saint who is listed in the church calendar on your child’s birthday.

But even if you don’t like the name of the Saint on your child’s birthday, the church advises choosing Saint’s Day 7 or 40. This will also give your child the opportunity to be protected by God. For obvious reasons, choosing a girl's name is more difficult. It doesn't matter, you can always name a girl by converting a male name. For example: Valentin to Valentina, Alexander to Alexandra. Some call the newborn a favorite, ordinary name, and when baptized, they give a second name - a church name.

As you know, a person’s name is important throughout life, having a direct impact not only on character, but also on fate. It is believed that a name can both enhance and reduce the prevailing character traits that are characteristic of a person in accordance with his genes, upbringing and horoscope.

For this reason, many parents strive to give their child a name that will not only be beautiful and harmonize with the trends of society, but also will allow the baby to be in harmony with himself and the environment.

In our article today you will find a lot of interesting information about how to name a girl in 2020, what to consider when choosing a name, as well as a list of popular, fashionable and unusual female names, a calendar of names by month and by horoscope.

What to look for when choosing a name for a girl?

The process of choosing a name for a girl has its own characteristics, so to make the task easier, we suggest taking into account the following points:

1. Prevalence of the name.

For many parents, it is very important that their girl be named something special. None of the parents, as a rule, want their baby to get lost among the most common names, and they try to give the girl a more original and not so often used name.

2. Compatibility with surname and patronymic.

Almost all parents, when choosing a name for their child, begin to try on the options they like for the middle name and surname, so that the combination turns out organic and at the same time harmonious. In addition, it is worth considering a shortened name for the girl.

3. Interpretation.

One of the most important points when choosing a name is its meaning. Not all names have a deep meaning. But, for example, Svetlana means “bright,” and Christina means “dedicated to Christ” (“in the name of Christ”).

4. Internationality of the name.

Nowadays, many parents want to name their children names that correspond to their nationality. But it often happens that parents belong to different nationalities and, in order not to offend anyone, they choose an international name for the girl, for example:

Violetta - “violet”;
Alexandra - “protector of people”;
Tatiana - “founder”;
Diana - “messenger of goodness and health”;
Milana - “fashionista”;
Sophia - “wise”;
Julia - “fluffy”, “wavy”.

5. Traditionality.

Very often, out of respect for family traditions, fathers and mothers name a girl after her grandmother or great-grandmother or some other relative.

6. Name days (Saints).

One of the popular ways to give a child a name. Parents open the Orthodox calendar and select the appropriate name from it. The disadvantage of this method is that the list of names will be limited.

7. Month and year of birth.

When choosing a name, many parents resort to the help of astrology and base their choice on a combination of the symbol of the year of birth and the child’s zodiac sign. Next, we will look at how to name a girl in 2020 Rat in more detail.

Families planning to have a child in 2018 will be pleasantly surprised by what wonderful qualities this year’s patron, the yellow earth Dog, will endow the newborn with.

A girl born at this time will turn into a real charmer, kind and sympathetic, winning the hearts of the opposite sex. It is possible that a girl will grow up in love with some kind of art: dancing, singing or drawing. But every character trait that a Dog can pass on to a child will appeal to everyone. Let's find out what kind of character a girl born in 2018 will have.

Character of girls born in 2018 Year of the Dog

Girls born in the year of the Dog grow up to be sweet, kind and sympathetic girls. They have a good memory and a vivid imagination, and are often interested in art, writing music, drawing or dancing well. They are confident and quickly get along with other people. It will always be a pleasure to be friends with such a person. Representatives of the fair sex, who were born, know how to imagine themselves in the place of another person, easily get into the situation and help in trouble. However, they are very touchy and often overthink things, which can put them in an unpleasant situation. They sincerely believe in self-invented fears and often exaggerate the tragedy of the situation. Such girls are offended for quite a long time, but they move away and again turn into pleasant interlocutors and faithful friends.

How to choose a name for a girl according to the church calendar

The most common and time-tested way to choose a name for your baby is according to the church calendar or according to the Saints. If parents decide to prefer this method of choosing a name for their child, then they should go to church and talk to a clergyman who will help them decide on a suitable name. According to Saints, the name for a girl is chosen according to the date of birth. The Orthodox Church offers quite a lot of names for girls, but at the same time, it is also allowed to remake male names, for example: Alexander - Alexandra, Evgeniy - Evgenia, Valentin - Valentina, Oles - Olesya, etc.

Every parent knows how responsibly they need to approach choosing a name for their future baby, since it is no secret that a name can have a direct impact on the fate of a little person. Therefore, it is not surprising that as the date of birth of a little miracle approaches, families are vying with each other about whose name is most suitable for the child.

Some are based on a harmonious combination with a surname and patronymic, while others, on the contrary, believe that an unusual and rare name will help a child achieve success in adulthood. Still others choose a name based on family history - often babies are named after outstanding representatives of the family, known for their achievements, character or good fortune. And still others simply follow the lead of their relatives and name the child a name that they like.

To avoid quarrels and dissatisfaction on the part of loved ones, many turn to the church calendar of names, which greatly facilitates the complex process of choice - you just need to take the calendar and see which names are relevant for a particular month of birth.

As a rule, choosing a name using the church calendar is quite simple: the child is given the name of the saint on whose memory he was born. If parents do not like this name (and it also happens that the baby himself begins to react poorly to the sound of the chosen name), then you can give the baby one of the recommended names on the eighth and fortieth day of birth.

The main thing that parents should remember is that when choosing a saint who will patronize a future person, they should not name their children in honor of the great martyrs, since there is a high probability that the child will repeat his fate
