How to choose a name for your child

Often, future parents already know what name they will give the baby when he comes into the world. It is important that both parents responsibly approach this issue, since the chosen name may depend on the nature, including the future fate of your child.


How to choose a name for the baby? How not to be mistaken with the choice of name? There are no specific rules or instructions, but there are some ways that parents will be able to push their parents to choose a worthy name for their child. Here are a few of these methods.

Ways to choose a name for your child

The choice of the name according to the church calendar. According to him, every day corresponds to a saint. To choose a name in this way, a saint with a specific name, closest to the date of birth of the baby, is chosen. It is believed that after the procedure of Baptism, the chosen saint will become an angel-keeper for the child.

Parents can call their child after a person. This may be immediate family (grandparents) who have already passed away, but left a deep mark on the life of the whole family. Also it can be famous people, heroes of films or books. But you can not give your son the name of the father (Peter Petrovich, etc.), and the daughters - the name of the mother, since those qualities that the child inherits from his parents may not always be positive.

Another way to choose a name is preliminary study of additional literature - these are dictionaries of the origin of names, without which, according to the parents, they can not find anything. In such books various names and their characteristics are presented. Proceeding from this, parents as though pick up the characteristic, so also a name for the kid. And before making a final choice, parents will definitely look into such a dictionary.

But often, this description does not always coincide with the real and desired reality, simply because it is impossible for the baby to program certain qualities, abilities or talents.

Not to be mistaken with a name, some parents resort to astrology and numerology. For this, an astrological-numerological analysis of names is done, which allows you to associate the child's birth date with the name. To date, the evidence of science proves that the chosen name can further determine the fate of the child. Despite the fact that official science is skeptical about such things, most mothers still resort to this method.

Some names differ in their originality (Arefiy, Glafira, etc.). Recently, the percentage of originality of names has increased several times. Either way, the original name will distinguish a person from the crowd, among peers, etc. But parents should not go beyond reason.
