How the church advises choosing names for children

Choose a name according to the Orthodox calendar, that is, in memory of the saints, began in the time of Russia. But parents should remember that the name belongs to practical things. From the point of view of Orthodox priests, after baptism, the baby should be brought regularly to the church for communion. It is best when the godparents are doing this, because they have taken on such responsibilities. When the child becomes older, he will not only receive communion, but also prepare for confession.

The priests strongly support the choice of names according to the holy calendar, but emphasize that parents should choose a “comfortable” name that will be easy to pronounce, and you should not worry about clergy: they will easily pronounce even the most difficult ones.

Useful Tips

If you decide that you will be guided by Orthodox traditions, do not choose one name for worldly life, and another for Christian life. Baptize the baby with one name so as not to contribute to confusion.
It is better to refuse exotic names, as they often do not harmonize with Russian middle names and surnames.
And another piece of advice from the priests: drop superstition. Often parents are afraid to tell others the name by which they baptized the child so that no one could damage him. All this is fiction: the child, who is taken to the church and communed, is protected from any witchcraft and magic.
