The birth of a child is a long-awaited event that requires maximum concentration and responsibility from new parents. Even when choosing a name for a baby, you should think carefully so as not to accidentally harm the baby with your frivolity.

There are a number of simple rules, following which you can choose a name for a newborn or newborn so that everyone is happy (see. Orthodox calendar of names as of August 2017 below).

1. Consonance. This is almost the main rule that must be taken into account when choosing a baby’s name. The name must match the surname and patronymic so that when heard, they harmoniously form a pleasant consonance. If you hear harshness or the combination of first name-last name-patronymic gives an unpleasant connotation, then you should think carefully about whether you should name your offspring that way.

2. Traditions. There are many ways to choose a name for your child. Some rely only on their own preferences, others want to honor famous person or a relative. But this practice does not always turn out to be positive. It may turn out that inexplicably some personal qualities mixed with some life events will be passed on to the child. And they may not always be good... It is better to create a new, special personality than to try to copy someone who has already lived.

3. Names according to the calendar. Orthodox Christians have the custom of naming a baby by the name of a saint revered on or close to the baby’s date of birth, that is, according to the calendar. This option is considered the most acceptable when choosing a name for a newborn, because in addition to the Russian, euphonious name, the child acquires heavenly patron who will protect him to the last.

But it is believed that any name from the Orthodox calendar for August will be appropriate. Let's look at them in more detail.

Names according to the calendar (first half of the month)

The calendar calls for those born on the first and second numbers to be called either Slavic name Militsa(sweetheart), or Latin Macrina, which means it belongs to Macru. These names are rare, so more often girls are called by a Jewish name Anna, meaning the grace of God. In the calendar, it corresponds to the 3rd number, but few people adhere to a strict order. The fourth of August is the name day Maria(translated from Hebrew as “desired”) and Zinaida, which means "caring". The fifth number is again associated with the name Anna and also it's name day Stella(stellar). The next birthday involves naming Christina(Christian).

The church offers beautiful names for girls born in August, on the 7th, in the calendar. This Blandina, meaning "affectionate" and "daughter of Olympus" Olympics. Those born on August 8th can be called either Paraskeva(Praskovya), which means “holiday eve”, or Sylvia(forest). Greek name Anfisa(blooming) corresponds to number 9. The Orthodox calendar suggests naming girls with the following names on August 10: Antonina or Drosida.

To figure out which name is suitable for a girl born in August, let’s try to start with the characteristics of the month itself, which means “majestic, divine” in translation. A significant part of it passes under the sign of Leo, so it is no coincidence that people born in Augusta have an independent and proud disposition. If it were possible to describe a person in one word, the most appropriate would be “royal.”

August people strive for leadership in any business, they love to be in the center of attention, calmly accepting recognition and honor. They are distinguished by their independence from the opinions of others; they always act in their own way. But it is precisely the royal character that does not allow them to stoop to pettiness and intrigue. Deeply decent and honest, they expect the same from other people. They are also distinguished by selflessness and generosity, developed intelligence.

Taking advantage of the attention of the opposite sex, they do not waste time on momentary adventures; real family values ​​are more important to them.

Names according to character

Considering what was described above, it is obvious that the most correct thing is to choose bright, exotic name, corresponding to a royal person. It should also emphasize the talent of nature. As a recommendation, the following options are offered:

In Christianity, the name is very revered, which is associated with Helen of Constantinople, the mother of the famous Roman emperor. It was this name that Princess Olga (Kievan Rus) took for herself at baptism.
• Anastasia Those around him especially note his beauty, majesty and tenderness. “Reborn”, “resurrected” is a translation from Greek. In Orthodoxy, three great martyr saints bore this name, patronizing pregnant women, prisoners and livestock.
• Angelina In translation it is not just “messenger”, it is “angel”, which makes the name rare in the beauty of its sound. It is Orthodox, because in Christian literature the deeds of the Venerable Angelina of Serbia are described.
• Milen Goes back to Slavic roots. Girls born in August can have names with the meaning “sweetheart” in other variants (Milica, Miloslava, Milana, Melania, Milomira). Parents can only choose.
