The birth of a child always brings joy. What could be better than looking at a little miracle that is an extension of its parents. This baby bears the traits of both mom and dad. But besides all this, there are certain character traits and a set of qualities that are unique to him. Over the course of a lifetime, they may change, disappear, or become more firmly entrenched in his personality. Everything will depend on what circumstances and life situations come his way. But parents can make a few initial adjustments and introduce some traits into the newborn’s character. This can be done using the name. You can choose the necessary name for a girl or boy for the name day in April according to the church calendar yourself or with the help of a clergyman. To choose the right name, it is worth knowing what qualities children will have in certain months of their birth.
Boys born in April
Basically, the church calendar includes men's name days in April, as well as other months. The custom of naming a child in honor of saints appeared after the adoption of Christianity and the baptism of the people. Our ancestors were confident that the saint whose name the baby bears would protect him throughout his life. Also, the child will take over from him all his positive qualities.
Such a Guardian Angel and patron saint also protects the child and drives away evil spirits from him. If a child is named after a saint, then the day on which it is remembered in the church calendar is called the boys’ name day in April.
Name days for men's names according to the church calendar in April mainly consist of church or Old Slavonic names. It happens that parents give their baby a modern name that is not on the list. In this case, you should contact a priest and he will help you find something that is in tune with him.

April children
One of the main characteristics of children born in April is their great determination. Such kids, becoming adults, always try to finish what they started. Thanks to their strong persistence, they can overcome any obstacles in their path. Thus, success always lies with such a person.
Also, since childhood, April babies can stand out for their sociability and friendliness. They love to spend their free time in companies, where they often attract attention. A good sense of humor and an optimistic mood will always help them when making new acquaintances.
Already as adults, such people greatly value stability in life, so it is quite difficult for them to agree to any changes.

The older the April baby becomes, the faster his selfish character develops. Such a child soon begins to value his own needs and interests most of all, not paying attention to the loved ones around him. Thus, if such a person does not like something, he will not be able to tolerate and give in, but will do everything for his well-being.
As they become adults, April children give in less and less often, less often learn from mistakes, so it is quite difficult for them to perceive the world around them. Great stubbornness can sometimes become a positive quality for them, and sometimes it can ruin everything that they have been building for so long, what they have been achieving for so long.

Features of choosing a name for a child
There are certain tips for choosing a name for a newborn. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them first:
Choose a name that will sound good with your middle name. Sometimes parents do not pay enough attention to this moment, and the child suffers in adulthood.
Be careful if you want to name your child after someone. It is advisable to become thoroughly familiar with the biography of this person. It is generally accepted that a name leaves a certain imprint on a person’s fate. But there are also cases when the character traits of one person can be transferred to another. Moreover, the child can repeat some episodes from the life of his namesake. So be careful and be especially careful about this issue.
How to determine a child’s name day if he was not named on the saint’s name day
It happens that you liked the name of a saint, but it appears on a different day, and not on the child’s birthday. In this case, priests recommend looking through the church calendar and finding the name of the saint after the birthday. The first one to meet and be named day. And if the name does not appear in the calendar, then you need to seek help from a priest who will help you choose one that is consonant.
Name day or name day is called one of the main and important days in the life of every Christian. This day is considered the day of the child’s heavenly patron, after whom he was named. Priests recommend coming to church on such holidays and reading prayers of gratitude to your guardian angels for protecting you.

Child's baptismal name
It happens that during baptism the priest gives the child a different name. This is explained by the fact that when inducing damage or other magical rituals, they use the church name of the child. That is why parents are forbidden to tell it to anyone. It is believed that the saint protects the baby and protects him from negative influences.
Remember that choosing a name is quite serious for every person. You need to think carefully before making a decision. After all, a child is given a name once and for the rest of his life.
The Lord is always with you!
