However, we must all remember that we are responsible for our own destiny and, alas, we will not be able to repeat someone else’s.

According to the church calendar

The Orthodox religion allows you to name a child in honor of the saint on whose day he was born. These special days are marked in and allow you to “make friends” of the baby with your patron in advance. A guardian angel will always help in a difficult situation, help you out of trouble and push you on the right path. Motivated by these facts, parents try to choose a sweet-sounding name prescribed for each day of the year. But you need to give a name according to the calendar correctly:

The only point that parents should remember when naming a baby with a similar name is that over time he can show authority and selfishness. However, if you do not go beyond reasonable limits, raise your child correctly and instill in him the main values ​​in life, then you should not be afraid of bad consequences.

For all parents, the birth of their long-awaited baby is a huge event, for which they usually prepare long before the child is born. Choosing a name for a newborn is not an easy task for a modern parent.

2. It is customary to name a child on the eighth day from birth. This tradition has different interpretation, one of which is that in ancient times there was no such powerful medicine as is now available to us, and many children born weak could simply not survive the first week - the most crucial by the standards of that time.
3. If you were unable to choose a name from those proposed on the eighth day, then you can choose it on the fortieth day after the day the child is born - on the day when it is customary to baptize infants.
4. If you still couldn’t choose from the names listed, then you can revise some names, looking a few days ahead - this practice is not forbidden by the church.
