Choosing a name for a boy by date of birth

The main criterion for choosing a name for boys in August is the date of birth. Believing parents should turn to the Orthodox calendar and look at the name day of which saint falls on this day. In August, the calendar of a large number of saints is celebrated. In 2018, the calendar list consists of 37 male names that can become the patron saint of a summer boy.

On one date there may be calendars of several saints at once, who are venerated in the church on this day and offer prayers. If you are not satisfied with the names for the boy noted on the baby’s date of birth, you can look at other names following the birthday.

Sometimes parents do not pay attention to whose name day is celebrated among the male saints in August. Then the heavenly patron for the boy will be the saint whose name, in the opinion of the parents, is suitable for the baby.

In this case, the birthday and name day in August will not coincide, but the child will have a name day according to the calendar and a birthday in the year. If in the Orthodox calendar the male names of saints are presented in a list, then it is better to choose a name for a boy in honor of the patron whose saints fall closer to his birthday in August.

Ivan

According to the church calendar, in August there is a name day for a boy named Ivan. This beautiful original Russian name will give the child a contradictory character. In folk tales, such guys always have to choose from several roads. Ivan’s life can hardly be called simple, but it will always be filled with adventures. There will be a lot of joy and happiness, but the man will go to them through potholes and bumps of his own mistakes.

He will endure all trials with honor, since he is endowed by nature with endurance and both moral and physical strength. We can say that this is a real Russian hero. Ivan has a rich inner world and a lively, but not very fast mind. He often thinks about a problem for a long time when he needs to act. The thing is that Vanya does not have developed intuition. When making an important decision, he can become very nervous, which ultimately leads to mistakes.

Vanya is kind to people. Will always come to the rescue. He has a highly developed sense of compassion. His friends simply adore him. He will never betray. There is not a drop of deceit in him. He doesn't know how to lie or get out of things at all. People with low moral standards simply surprise him. He does not fully believe that he could have been deceived and will continue to believe in the best until the very end.

The girl who marries Ivan will be very lucky. She will receive a gentle husband. He will be able to maintain a warm relationship with his wife until old age. He will adore his children and they will become the driving force for Vanya’s development. He will do everything so that his family does not need anything.

If your child was born in August, you need to select a male name, taking into account the zodiac sign. The child may be born Leo or Virgo. These two signs are very different from each other. Take this into account.

Determination of a name according to the Orthodox calendar

If you decide to follow church canons in determining the name for a boy born in August, you need to rely on the Orthodox calendar, which includes all the calendar dates for this month. On some days in August, you can choose a name for a boy from several options, but there are days when Saints are not celebrated. Then you can pay attention to the day following the boy’s date of birth or later.

According to the rules for choosing a name, there are two dates, in addition to the birthday:

• on the eighth day after the date of birth;
• on the 40th day, when according to the canons of the church it is customary to baptize the baby.

When choosing a name, you need to look not only at which saint will protect the baby, but also what meaning this name has. Character traits are determined not only by genetics. What the boy is named is important - the name is often fateful. If we consider some of the names that can be given to a boy in August, the statement will be confirmed.

• Nikolai - name days are celebrated 11 times in August. The most revered is Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, whose memorial day falls on August 11 .

The name of ancient Greek origin translates as “conqueror of nations.” Hardworking, purposeful, can be secretive and mindful of himself. Finds a common language with others without difficulty, and is the life of the party.

• Fedor - name days are celebrated 7 times, so can be used for a boy born on any day in August.

It means “God’s gift,” which is true for the inner circle of a boy and a man with that name. In relation to strangers, he is reserved, hidden, communicates little, and has a small list of friends. A jack of all trades, which has a positive effect on Fedor’s entire life.

• Konstantin - name days in August fall on 11th . On this day, St. Constantine of Starorussia is venerated. The name is of ancient Roman origin and means “solid, constant.”

When choosing a name for boys according to the Orthodox calendar, you need to know the life history of the chosen patron and convey this information to the child.

Quite often, parents name a boy, following fashion or in memory of dear people, and do not take into account whether this name corresponds to the day of the angel in August.

It is worth remembering whether it is appropriate to name a child this way if the name has nothing to do with Orthodoxy or the fate of the person whose name the boy was named is worthy of imitation, and whether it does not impose undesirable events in the child’s life.

Character traits

Girls born in August have strong energy and predict independence for the child. Babies are very restless and prefer freedom. As adult women, they have wisdom, intelligence, activity, determination, but at the same time they are very demanding of others.

Sociability, sociability, eloquence and charm - this is how you can describe the girl who received her name in August according to the Saints. The absence of rudeness and communication on equal terms always makes them the soul of the company, since it is easy and simple to communicate with them. To achieve success, these girls will never cheat or play around. They cannot stand betrayal, braggarts, selfish and cunning hypocrites.

Year-old girls are unsure of themselves, which provokes problems for them in the future. At the developmental stage, parents should support the baby, helping her communicate with peers. It is very difficult to predict their future; much depends on the data invested by the parents and on the environment in which they find themselves. Born under the signs of Virgo or Leo, babies are under the cover of Mercury, which indicates their responsibility in terms of work. They do not strive to become leaders, but they successfully complete all the tasks assigned to them.

Male names according to the calendar

If you name a child according to the calendar in August, then male names in the Orthodox calendar for this month are represented in sufficient numbers - these are 37 saints. Some names that were popular for boys decades ago are now rare:

• Dmitry is a name with ancient Greek roots, translated as “belonging to Demeter (goddess of the earth).” Name days fall on 7 days of August ( 1, 14, 17, 20, 22, 25, 30 ).
• Sergei - translated from Latin as “high, highly respected.” One of the brightest Orthodox personalities is Sergius of Radonezh, whose calendar falls in July. In August, Sergei celebrates Angel Day 5 times ( 2, 8, 10, 13, 25 ).
• Peter - translated from ancient Greek means “stone”, which corresponds to the personality of the person bearing this name. Angel Peter's Day falls not only on the dates of August, but also on the neighboring months - July, September, which makes it possible to choose a name for a boy born in the first or last days of August ( 7, 9, 12, 24, 26, 30 ).
• Jacob (biblical Jacob) - means “following on the heels.” It is revered not only in Orthodoxy, but also in other religions - Judaism, Islam. In August, the Orthodox calendar marks 4 dates for the veneration of Jacob ( 22, 25, 26, 29 ).
