The name that is given to a child affects his character, and therefore, his fate. It carries a certain energy and a huge flow of information, sometimes playing a prophetic role in the life of a baby. Thousands of people walk around our planet with the same names, but each has its own destiny. So it has a different effect on their lives? There is nothing surprising in this. It corrects and complements the natural human qualities, so it is important to approach the issue of naming seriously and responsibly. The article will talk about the names for girls, about the character and fate that are formed under their influence.
Methods of naming girls
Currently, it is believed that when choosing a child's name, parents should consider how their own names sound. That is, at least one letter in the names of the parents and the child must match, if so, then they will be happy with their baby, if not, then the result will be the opposite.
In ancient times, our ancestors called the baby, using the holy calendar. A name was chosen that corresponded to the day of memory of the saint in the churchcalendar, it should have been closest to the date of birth or christening.
We also focused on the season when the baby was born. If he was born in a frosty winter, then he was given a gentle, soft name to soften the effect of nature. Naming the child, the parents tried to soften the natural qualities.
Children born in the spring cannot stand up for themselves, so names were chosen for them that could instill confidence in them and add leadership qualities to them.
Summer babies are very active, but they lack endurance and patience. These qualities can be adjusted with a name.
Autumn kids are distinguished by good he alth, stubbornness. They need to add purposefulness and the ability to communicate with people with the help of a well-chosen name.
You can give the choice to the baby himself. This is what they did in ancient times. Parents and relatives sat around the baby and listed the names aloud, carefully watching the reaction of the child. If the baby smiled at any name, they called him that.
In addition, the tradition of naming a baby after the first person they meet has been preserved. Our ancestors believed that a child who was named after a stranger would receive a good and happy fate as a gift.
Can a girl be named after her mother or grandmother
There are traditions in some families to choose a name for a girl in honor of her grandmother or mother. In ancient times, it was a real ritual that carried a huge semantic load. Togetherwith the name the girl gets an emotional example: who she should become and what to be.
This naming tradition has both pros and cons.
Benefits:
- A child is energetically protected by his relatives from all the troubles of the world around him, he feels like a part of a large family. He feels a sense of pride.
- Children grow up internally free and very brave, they perceive the world around them as an interesting and safe adventure.
- From childhood, the girl has formed a model of strong family relationships, family ties, she will create her family in the future on the example of this model.
Flaws:
- Parents consciously or subconsciously expect from the child that he will look like a relative, after whom the baby was named. But the child is a living person, he can inherit the worst qualities.
- All the properties that the name will bring will fall on the character of the child, breaking or strengthening it. The result is not always what the parents wanted.
- The name of a relative puts a lot of pressure on the child, because he is subject to additional requirements. He simply must be like the one after whom he was named. As a result, the baby does not have the opportunity for personal development, cannot realize himself, and is forced to live according to the scenario of his relatives, which sooner or later will lead to psychological problems.
Choosing a random name
Most often, nowadays children are given names according to the principle: “I like this, and this isNo . And parents do not consider whether it is correctly chosen and whether it suits their child. It also matters who insisted on a specific name for the child. It is this person who will have the strongest influence on the formation of the character of the baby. Therefore, a random name turns out to be not random at all.
Orthodox tradition of naming
Names for girls in ancient times were given by the name of the saint, on the day of whose memory she was born or baptized. They did this so that the saint would protect the baby, and begged the Almighty for her a happy fate. The heavenly patroness, according to the beliefs of the Slavs, took care of the fate of the girl, instructed her in good deeds, contributed to the development of talents and saved her from troubles. If the child was named following this tradition, then the girl should definitely buy an icon of her saint and congratulate her not only on her birthday and baptism, but also on Angel Day.
You can choose a name for a girl in advance, roughly calculating the date of her birth. The holy day should be closest to this date.

Advice from a psychologist
The name should not be a burden to the child. An unsuccessfully chosen name can become the subject of ridicule of classmates, and subsequently contribute to the development of complexes in a person. For example, the name Apollo is too old and not quite suitable for naming a baby at the present time. It can easily turn into a nickname and make it difficult for a child to establish relationships with friends.
Before choosing a name for the child, you need to remember that this is the very first word that he will pronounce when meeting, and it is from him that the impression of him as a person will be created. When naming a child, the following rules must be observed:
- The name should be modified so that it is easy to form short (diminutive) forms from it. This is important to establish a close relationship between the child and parents. For example, Tanya - Tanyusha, Tata, Tanechka.
- When choosing a name, you must consider how it combines with the patronymic. It is better if there is no piling up of identical consonants or vowels that stand at the junction, for example, Svetlana Anatolyevna.
- By naming a child after a mother or grandmother, you convey to the girl character instability, increased emotionality, irritability. Together with the name, the child inherits not the best qualities of the person after whom he was named.
Choosing a consonant name withsurname and patronymic
When choosing a name for a girl, it is necessary that at least one letter in it matches the letter in the name of the mother and father, for example, if the parents are Olesya and Alexander, then the daughter can be called Olga, Alevtina, Valentina, and so on, but completely the names Marina, Anna, Ekaterina do not fit.
In addition, you need to choose a name that would be consonant with the patronymic. For example, Maria Alexandrovna, Olesya Alexandrovna and so on.
In addition, before naming, you need to find out what the girl's name means and how it can affect her fate.
