One of the most responsible and very important responsibilities of new parents is choosing a name for the baby. Among a large number of options, they need to choose the option that turns out to be not only sonorous, beautiful and fashionable, but also which will become like a guardian angel to protect its wearer. In this article, we'll talk about which lucky names you can choose for boys and girls in 2018.
The most popular boy names in 2018
When choosing a name for a boy, parents need to think carefully. It is important that the name introduces masculinity, decisiveness, courage into the child's character. It is necessary to dwell on such an option so that the name helps to mitigate the negative character traits of the boy.
Distinctive features of boys born in the year of the Yellow Earth Dog are: craving for communication, movement, the ability to find mutual language with everyone, curiosity, developed intellect - these qualities will become the main features of your future heir. They will have not only the desire to surround themselves with numerous friends, but also an incredible ability to unite all people, finding common goals for them. The guiding star of every boy will be talent, like a magnet to attract those around him, causing them sympathy from the very first minutes of communication.
Consider these features that will be inherent in your child, and also pay attention to:
- As you know, all men should be courageous, courageous, decisive, strong and courageous. Of course, with the help of a name alone it is impossible to bestow these qualities on a boy, but a correctly chosen name will help a child become more self-confident. Courageous popular names boys in 2018 in Russia - this Alexander, Anton, Maxim, Andrey, Dmitry, Vladimir, Mark, Miron, etc.
- The most beautiful name chosen must necessarily be in harmony with the patronymic, as well as the boy's surname. It is undesirable to name the child unusual names, if his surname and patronymic are simple enough. It is not recommended to choose difficult-to-pronounce combinations for the child, for example, Robert Emmanuilovich, since such options will contribute to the emergence of significant problems in childhood and in adulthood.
- All beautiful russian names for boys published in the Orthodox calendar.

Today you can often find such "old" names as Arkhip, Luke, Gordey, Evdokim, Demid, Fedot, David, Solomon, Seraphim, etc. Such names, on the one hand, look rather unusual, on the other hand, they are not alien to our ears.
- It is recommended not to use the same name for your son as your father or grandfather. Parents often name their own sons after relatives, but such options are very undesirable from the side of psychology. Psychologists are sure that boys always set their own fathers or grandfathers as an example, they strive to be like them outwardly and do the same things. In addition, calling the sons in the same way with the name of the father of the sons, often a difficult to pronounce combination is obtained, for example, Alexander Alexandrovich. In addition, superstitious parents are not advised to call their baby the same name as one of the deceased relatives. It is believed that a child named after a deceased person can take over his fate. And if she was not too happy, the parents will reproach themselves for a long time for such a choice of a name.

Nevertheless, when choosing a name for their unborn child, parents strive to endow the long-awaited baby with certain qualities and character traits that they would like to contemplate in their sequel. According to clairvoyants and psychics, the name is considered a kind of visiting card of ourselves, so you should choose it very carefully and demandingly.
Main information
Before naming a child in 2018, you should 
examine the description of the chosen name. It is important that the parents like it in terms of sound, and at least somehow correspond to the sphere of the family environment. Although, to be honest, in last years everything turns out quite the opposite - expectant mothers and fathers are trying to invent an absolutely unique and unknown name for their baby, without even thinking that their future child will have to “wear” it all his life.
Some parents long before major event in their life they know exactly what they will call their daughter or son. True, it often happens that during pregnancy, the mood of both partners changes and then you have to start the procedure of "name selection" from the very beginning. Some people prefer not even to think about such nonsense - a favorable name immediately comes to mind at the first glance at their child.
You can talk about such an urgent topic indefinitely, but this will not solve the problem of choice. Unfortunately, or fortunately, now in the world there are a huge number of beautiful names, and it is sometimes very difficult to decide on only one of them.
Matching name to date of birth
Many parents prefer to call their child a name that coincides with the date of his birth. True, this method is not entirely correct, since sometimes there are really stupid names in the calendar. It is best to seek help from the church calendar, where you can find sonorous and beautiful names... According to the most clergymen, when choosing a name in honor of some “saint”, parents endow their baby with an invisible guardian angel. 
According to expert research, the name of the child should be chosen correctly depending on the season when he was born. For example, winter kids should choose more melodic nicknames to soften their "frosty" character. Spring babies are considered insecure and withdrawn, so it is better to choose names for them tough and hardy. Summer babies are very active and friendly, able to achieve their goals at any cost. For this category of newborns, any name is perfect. In the fall, strong, balanced and persistent personalities appear. To multiply their merits in 2018, it is important to find beautiful and sonorous names.
Name after a celebrity
There is a separate category of parents who choose names for their children. famous personalities, with the aim of repeating their fate. Not so long ago, the fashion for such dialects became active again, as it was back in the USSR. According to such dads and moms, the announced method of choice is considered one of the surest ways to program the life of a newborn to those heights that were previously reached by the chosen persons.
Compliance with the church calendar
According to the dogmas of the Orthodox religion, a child should be called exclusively by the name of the saint on whose day he was born. Thanks to such a ritual, priests create an invisible bond between the newcomer and his patron, the guardian angel. It should be remembered that when choosing a name according to the calendar, it is important to be guided by several rules.
1. The christening of the child should take place on the 8th day after his birth - it is at this time that the name for the baby is chosen.
2. If it was not possible to fulfill this sacrament within the time period provided by the church, it is postponed to 40 days.
3. If the proposed names of the holy parents are not impressed, you can use the options for the nearest dates.
