Women's Angel Day in July

According to the church calendar, there are not many girls' name days in July. But even a small number of names gives a certain choice. Perhaps even from such a small number of names, at least one will appeal to you. After all, by calling a baby by the name of a saint, most parents want to convey positive qualities and give the child a good life.

Female names in July:

• July 3 – Inna, Rimma;
• July 5 – Ulyana;
• July 7 – Agripina;
• July 8 – Euphrosyne;
• July 14 – Angelina;
• July 17 – Marfa;
• July 18 – Anna;
• July 19 - Ulyana;
• July 20 - Euphrosyne, Evdokia;
• July 24 – Elena, Olga;
• July 29 – Alevtina, Valentina, Yulia;
• July 30 – Marina, Margarita.

A name for a girl is usually chosen more carefully than for a boy. It is important for parents that the name combines beautifully with the surname and has many diminutive forms that could be suitable for the baby. At the same time, the name should carry positive energy. It is very important that the name is melodic, light and at the same time has a certain power.

Many parents are looking for a name for a girl that will be rare and choose it so that the baby does not have many namesakes. This helps the child feel unique. It is for such cases that it is good to use the church calendar; it has a large selection of unique names. In recent times, more and more girls with rare names are celebrating their name days. Each of them is unique and having made the right choice, parents put the best qualities into the name. Many say that before choosing a name from the church calendar, namely using the name of a saint, it is necessary to learn more about this person, to learn about fate.

If you want to name a girl after a saint, then clergy recommend visiting church and praying to this particular saint, this will create a certain protective halo for the baby, the saint will protect her.

Nativity of John the Baptist

On July 7, Christians of the Eastern rite celebrate the Nativity of the Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord John. According to the Holy Scriptures, the righteous hermit John was the closest predecessor of Christ and predicted his arrival, and later baptized Christ himself in the waters of the Jordan.

Correct choice of name, according to the church calendar

The church calendar, which has a large number of names, allows you to select female and male names by date. These names largely came to us from Greece, ancient Rome, and may also be originally Russian. And although many of them have not been used for many centuries, they are worth paying attention to. Such a name will always be unique, will attract attention and is a special tribute to past centuries and our ancestors.

Nowadays, a large number of people prefer such names, because they contain special energy and have special power. Although the church calendar accommodates many names that are not currently relevant, it is the best source for finding a name for your baby. The church allows you to choose a name not only on the child’s birthday, but also to pay attention to the list of names that appear on the eighth day from the baby’s birth. This is exactly what our ancestors did - they chose a name on the eighth day. If parents do not like church names on the 1st and 8th day of the child’s birth, you can choose a name on the 40th day, which is considered by clergy to be the best day for the baby’s baptism.

The boy's parents have a certain advantage, because there are many more male names in the church calendar. But parents who gave birth to a girl should not be upset, because, as in ancient times, a man’s name can be changed into a feminine one, as this happened with the name John, a girl can be called Ioanna. And there are a large number of such names. There is no need to rush into choosing; you need to consider all the options and choose the one that will really suit your baby.

The relationship of the name with the seasons

A baby born at one time or another of the year is endowed with character traits characteristic of that period. Thus, winter girls have a more persistent and tough disposition, strong will and good health, they are active and purposeful, they clearly know what they want in life. Therefore, a name for a girl born in winter should pacify the cold in her soul, be gentle and melodic, and reveal her feminine nature.

As you know, spring is a changeable and capricious time of year, constantly changing weather, unpredictability, you don’t know what to expect the next day, and the spring girl is capricious and windy. However, spring children can easily adapt to any changes, so it is good to choose a firm, resonant name that shows strength of character.

Summer is a bright and warm time of year; at this time, friendly, open and optimistic girls are born. Summer girls are extremely emotional, sometimes it is difficult for them to cope with the surging emotions; the most common act on the part of the opposite sex can delight them or, conversely, cause negativity. However, Summer women are very faithful spouses and caring mothers, they are faithful and wise.

Names for those born in summer are better to choose neutral ones that will restrain their fiery temperament.

The most common character of autumn children is a quiet, leisurely and compliant disposition. Girls born in autumn will never act under the influence of emotions; their decisions are always thoughtful and balanced. The best names for fall babies are those that have real, deep meaning.
