Once it becomes clear that the family expected completion, parents start choosing baby names.And often it turns out that everyone on this account already has certain preferences: my mother always wanted a daughter, Elizabeth, and my father - Eugene, because that was the name of his grandmother.Begin differences, which are often connected and older relatives.
Sometimes parents decide to give the name of the girl on the calendar or call the son in memory of some great man.How can you call the church calendar?
appears every day in the church calendar of the Orthodox Church - is the day of a righteous man.Lives of the Saints - a huge heavy books mentioning the thousands of martyrs and reverend.Typically, the memory is assigned to please God in the day of death, that is the end of the earthly life of the righteous, and the beginning of life from heaven.Righteous people for two thousand years, it was a lot, so every day is famous for not just one, but several saints.
To give the name of the girl on the calendar, you need to open an Orthodox church calendar, and view a list of the names of the righteous in the day of her birth.It is likely that there will be no holy women.In Orthodoxy in general they are much less than holy men.This is due, of course, not so that the just male greater.Just a woman is always less visible, their destiny - a solitary monk, not the priesthood, episcopacy, or missionary.That is why not many glorified righteous, martyrs and confessors.So if they wanted to give the name of the girl on the calendar may simply not be a woman's name in the calendar the birthday child.
This, of course, does not mean that we should abandon the idea of a remake somehow men's names.There are several traditions of naming: for a birthday, on the eighth after birth (day naming name), on the fortieth (the traditional day of baptism).Therefore, the name of the girl on the calendar, you can choose from these three days.But it may well be that they do not contain the names of eligible women.
In this case, you should choose a name soon, which is celebrated after the birth of the baby.For example, the names of the girls on the calendar September offers the following: Thekla (September 1), Vassa (3), and Anfusa Eulalia (4).Then a few days does not mention a single woman's name, and finally on September 8 is celebrated MC.Natalia.September 9 famed MC.Anfisa, and then only on September 14th prep.Martha, who was the mother of Simeon.Already on the list given as an example, it can be clearly seen that it is not easy to choose the names of the girls on the calendar.
November, for example, provides even less common, ordinary female names than in September.There Matrona, Eudoxia Stefanida, but not every modern parent dares to call the child's old and unusual name.Although in recent years related to exotic names changed.If 20 years ago they were frightened, but now rather draw.
choosing a baby name - responsible business.After all, it is necessary to take into account not only the desire to mom and dad, two grandmothers and two grandfathers, and correlate with the selected option and surname.And also to find out how the home will sound, a shortened version.Therefore, it may be true, to give it all to God and hope that precipitated on the calendar name is best suited daughter ?!
