The birth of a new organism is the most exciting event in the life of all parents. How much needs to be done for the comfortable existence of a newborn.

Have you ever thought about how a name can affect a person's destiny? Incredible, but it's a fact. The correct name given to a child can radically change his destiny at any stage of life. One of the options to give a name to a girl or boy who was born in February 2018 is according to the Holy Fathers.

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 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 beloved, common name, and when they are baptized, they give a second name - a church name.

So, what should you name your daughter who was born in 2018? How not to make a mistake with your choice? To do this, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the information that we bring to your attention.

General character traits of girls born in the year of the Yellow Earth Dog

Astrologers and specialists in other fields predict the birth of large number female indigo children. From an early age they will amaze adults with their insight, foresight, special worldview and ability to subtly sense the surrounding reality. Moreover, the process of personal development of girls will proceed so harmoniously that all of them from an early age will have balance, emotional stability and calmness.

You will also be pleasantly surprised by the girls’ extraordinary intellectual abilities. As a rule, such children learn to speak, sit, walk, count, read and write earlier than their peers. Girls who were born in 2018 do not tolerate fuss around them, and they also do not accept insincerity on the part of those around them. Therefore, from early childhood they will in every possible way avoid communicating with people who have an explosive, hot-tempered character. Even subconsciously, girls will be more drawn to those who are peaceful and friendly.

Parents will also notice that their daughter(s) are drawn to everything beautiful. And since there is a very high probability that she is an indigo child, mom and dad will note that the daughter shows abilities in drawing, choreography, music, and theater. Often girls are very artistic and already at a young age they decide on their future profession - artist. And here parents are not recommended to interfere with the child’s choice, since he has a well-developed intuition and knows better who he should be in life.

Experts draw your attention to another remarkable nuance: the character of girls born in the dark is somewhat different from the character of girls born in the daytime. The first category of children will inherit a more restless and “fighting” character from their patroness (the Dog). The Mistress of the Year will endow them with enterprise, activity and leadership qualities. Daytime girls have a calmer disposition, are very sensual, and hardworking. But if their interests are unfairly infringed, they can adequately respond to their offender.

Everyone has their own method for choosing a name for their daughter. Someone is guided purely by astrological forecasts, someone pays attention to the church calendar of names, some name their daughter in honor of some relative, and some even prefer a name that is exclusively fashionable for a given period of time. Experts give advice on methods for choosing a name for your daughter.

If there are heated arguments in the family

Often all household members gather to choose a name, arranging a so-called family council. How to make a choice so that everyone is happy? For example, the grandmother will want her granddaughter to be called Sofia, the grandfather will say that his favorite female name is Anastasia, the father will speak out in favor of the name Evgeniya, and the mother will speak out in favor of the name Angelina. Uncles and aunts, who may be participants in the family council, will also express their opinions.

And what to do in this case? It is necessary to agree on the compilation of an independent rating of names. This is done like this: each family member writes down, for example, 6 female names that he likes best on a piece of paper. Then the leaves need to be exchanged and everyone must cross out three names from the lists of the other participants in the ranking that they absolutely do not like.

Next, each relative, having received his list back, places the three remaining names in such an order that the most attractive name (in his opinion) is in first place, the less attractive name is in second place, and the most unsuitable name is in third place. By comparing all the lists, you can create a single rating, which will determine the winning name. Thus, an option will be chosen that will suit all relatives, and none of them will be offended.

Of course, not everyone will want to choose a name for a girl using only the method described above. Many people come to try other methods. Among the most popular and frequently used methods for choosing a female name are:

• euphony. The name must be successfully combined not only with the patronymic, but also with the surname;
• correspondence to the time of year. Summer, spring, winter and autumn can also influence a person’s fate and, therefore, the choice of a name for him;
• tribute to fashion. At any time, creatures canons of fashion female names. However, it should be borne in mind that after some time the name may not become as popular as it is now;
• compliance with the Saints. According to this list, the name days of certain Saints are celebrated every day of every month;
• choosing two names at once. This is an ancient custom, according to which the first name chosen will be secret, it is intended only for use by those closest to you. The second name will be common knowledge;
• destiny. This means that parents, when choosing a name for their daughter, will start from his direct meaning. Before settling on a specific option, you can find out what qualities a particular name will endow the baby with;
• originality. Yes, a very rare name may be suitable for sociable girls. But for girls who are less sociable, it can become an obstacle to communication with peers, because the name will aggravate psychological discomfort and interfere with the child’s normal mental development;
• in honor of a relative. Some, in the old fashioned way, call their daughters by the same name as some relative in their family was called. And any prejudices that a girl can “take over” the fate of this relative are inappropriate here.

Name selection criteria

From early childhood, and throughout life, a person most often hears his own name. This is not just a set of sounds, but a huge amount of encrypted information. Various sounds lead to excitation of certain parts of the brain, therefore, under the influence of a sound stimulus, certain character traits are formed. Firm-sounding names (Dmitry, Alexander, Georgy, Varvara) form a persistent, decisive character in children. Names that are pronounced melodiously gently create the preconditions for the development of a calm, flexible, balanced child. This can be said about Mikhail, Alexey, Ilya, Natalya, Alena, Svetlana.

Psychologist and researcher of names Boris Khigir believes that one should not name a child in memory of a tragically deceased relative: undesirable moments from the life of the namesake may be reflected in his life. If a baby is named after his father or mother, then he may grow up restless, capricious, and too emotional. It is even possible to develop negative qualities.

The psychologist suggests that parents think carefully before giving the girl a name. male origin: Alexandra, Valeria, Evgenia. They may develop a contradictory character with a predominance of masculine qualities; with age they become nervous, quick-tempered, and irritable. If the choice nevertheless fell on such a name, you will need to pay more attention to the upbringing of the girl, try to develop in her a typical feminine traits character.

The specialist suggests paying special attention to the combination of first name and patronymic. The patronymic complements the psychological characteristics of a person: it clarifies, softens, or, conversely, sharpens certain features. It’s good if the name is easy to pronounce both on its own and together with the patronymic: Alexey Mikhailovich, Andrey Nikolaevich, Sergey Pavlovich. Rigid articulation and difficult-to-pronounce combinations of first and middle names create an obstacle to communication and can cause awkwardness for the interlocutor. Examples of such combinations: Georgy Dmitrievich, Alexander Vsevolodovich, Albert Georgievich.

What are modern parents guided by when choosing a name?

When choosing a baby's name, modern parents are guided by the following criteria:

Tribute to tradition- in this case, as a rule, the child is given one of the familiar, long-known, classic names: Alexander, Alexey, Leonid, Sergey, Maria, Sophia, Anna, Elena.

As you know, a person’s name has 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.
