For example, the Born on May 8, the Boy of Slanders offer names - Mark, Sylvester, Macedon. And after 8 days - Paul, Peter, Timofey, Feodosius, - explore the values \u200b\u200bof the selected names, "Example" them on the son.
It is known that a certain combination of letters and sounds affects the strengthening of specific qualities of character in man, for example, courage, the strength of the Spirit, the worship of the elders and God, - if the date of birth fell to the "empty" day in the saints, when there is no list or one of the saint name at a specific date, then consult your father. He will tell you the options that are harmonious for modern life and relevant from the point of view of the Orthodox Church. And also voiced your wishes by name on the eve of the baptism ritual,
