But sometimes there are disputes and even quarrels about this. Everyone understands that the name given to the child will stay with him for the rest of his life. It is believed that it determines fate, so it is highly undesirable to call a person differently.

Criterias of choice

What are parents usually guided by when choosing a name for a newborn?

• beautiful sound;
• this is the name of a relative (grandfather, dad, uncle);
• the name of a man significant for the family (say, a doctor who saved the lives of a mother and a newborn);
• Orthodox tradition(names for the boy by months and dates);
• favorite football player, public figure, film hero, singer, world famous person.

Before choosing a son's name adults need to consider several factors:

The baptism of Russia contributed to the fact that children began to be named in honor of the saints who became famous for their deeds. The parents were convinced that through the name a spiritual connection would arise and the Orthodox great martyr would become the patron of their baby, give him some of his amazing qualities.

The same name in the church calendar can occur several times. Several Orthodox saints fall on the same day. One name can celebrate Angel Day several times a year. For example, Athanasius can be born both in January and in November.

How to choose the right name according to the holy calendar? The Orthodox Church prescribes to call the boy a name corresponding to his birthday or baptism. If for some reason a number of names do not fit, you can look at the eighth or fortieth day from the date the baby was born.
