The birth of a child is a great event for a family. The appearance of a boy is doubly joyful; the baby will extend the surname of the family. But the choice of name is important because when naming a baby, believing parents choose a heavenly patron for the child who will protect the person in everything life path. What name to choose for a boy and their name days in August? What rules should parents know when choosing a name for any child?

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 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 Orthodox calendar male names 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.

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 common language with others without difficulty, is the soul of the company.

• 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 11 number. On this day, St. Constantine of Starorussky 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.

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:

• Michael- translated from biblical means “like God, an angel of mercy before God for earthly people.” Name days fall on 11,17, 20, 25, 31 August.
• Dmitry- a name with ancient Greek roots, translated as “belonging to Demeter (goddess of the earth).” Name days fall on the 7th day of August ( 1, 14, 17, 20, 22, 25, 30 ).
• Sergey- translated from Latin “high, highly respected.” One of the brightest Orthodox personalities is Sergius of Radonezh, whose saints fall 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 ).
• Yakov(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 ).

In conclusion

Choosing a name for a boy is a serious moment in a child’s life. It leaves a certain imprint on the fate, character, and abilities of the individual. There is a statement “whatever you call a boat, that’s how it will float.” Likewise, with a child’s name there is no need to rush or chase fashion - the boy can live with his name.

Choosing a name for a newborn is the first and very important task of a parent. In the future, the baby’s fate will depend on this choice.

There are a great many names; today parents have plenty to choose from. But one should not be guided only by fashion or religious views. At different times of the year, people are born with completely different character traits. Knowing the characteristics of a name, you can express the missing features with its help. Or, on the contrary, mute the unwanted ones.
