How to name a girl born in December: beautiful names for girls

A child's name is the first gift given to him by his parents. Many believe that names determine a person’s destiny and character, and Orthodox believers strive to connect children with patron saints who protect and protect children throughout life.

Take a look at the church calendar, where all the name days and memorial days are displayed - suddenly something catches your eye. Unfortunately, many do not take into account modern realities in the pursuit of church conformities, and Pulcheria and Feofania do not always feel comfortable among their peers.

Name days in December are a common occurrence, so the choice of names is quite varied. The boys were luckier: Ivan (John), Mikhail, Hilarion, Alexy, Seraphim, Nikolay, Pavel, Peter, Vasily, Vladimir, Grigory, Nikolay, Nikon and many others. However, girls also have plenty to choose from.

What kind of character do December girls have?

To make the right choice, future parents need to simultaneously consider several factors:

• baby's birth month;
• the zodiac sign under which she will be born;
• girl's middle name.

In addition, you need to think about what name to give the girl at baptism: it differs from the secular one. The calendar will help with this, where the name days of all the saints, whom Christians honor on certain days, are written down. Now let's get acquainted with the character of the girls who celebrate their name day in December.

A girl born in December is distinguished by a strong desire for justice. If other children and adults turn a blind eye to some shortcoming, then the baby born in December will directly point it out.

She will rush to protect the offended child from the horde of offenders, not caring at all about her own safety: the physical is lower than the mental for her.

For December birthday girls, fairness goes hand in hand with honesty.

Kindergarten teachers and school teachers are very surprised when the little girl directly tells them everything she thinks about the actions and behavior of her peers or even the teachers themselves. Sometimes such straightforwardness plays against the little girl herself: after all, no one wants to be publicly denounced, much less children - adults.

The ability to see inconsistencies where others do not notice them predetermines the choice of a suitable profession for a girl born in December. She will become a good lawyer, technologist, and auditor.

Any job related to quality control, searching for accidental or intentional errors, concealments or crimes will be ideal for a December girl.

Characteristics of December girls

Of course, genetics plays the main role in character formation, laying down those traits that are inherent in parents or close relatives. However, you probably had to notice that people who had absolutely no family ties, but were born around the same time, were incredibly similar in behavioral characteristics.

We can believe astrologers, or be skeptical about this teaching, but the fact that those born in the same zodiac sign have similar character traits remains a fact. In December, we may have a Sagittarius or Capricorn, what is remarkable about girls born under these signs?

Sagittarians are tireless researchers. Their thirst for knowledge is so strong that they sometimes do not pay attention to any obstacles. Parents may perceive this as clumsiness, but this is not entirely correct, it’s just that your child is busy only achieving his goal, and everything around him becomes completely unimportant. From early childhood, December girls will strive to help and participate in all the processes that they observe. If you direct their energy in the right direction, you can raise outstanding athletes, artists or scientists.

The main thing is to develop the inclinations inherent in nature. Based on these positions, choose a sonorous and serious name for your little ones, which will only emphasize this status with age (although this advice is relevant for any time of year and zodiac sign).

December has been under the sign of Capricorn since December 22. Children born during this period are distinguished by isolation and restraint. Capricorn girls are hardworking, but in all endeavors they need the absolute support of loved ones. It is better to give them strict names that will give them confidence and strength.

How to choose a name for a girl according to the Saints in December?

When choosing a name according to the Saints, parents choose a specific Saint person, whom they decided to canonize for certain deeds and exploits. There are a lot of different-sounding female names in the church calendar. Basically, the names of girls in the Saints of December are of Slavic, Hebrew and Greek origin. Among the names of girls according to the Saints of December, there are also names that have not lost their relevance, which are becoming more and more popular every year. We can safely say that the December church calendar is an inexhaustible well of beautiful, bright names for girls that carry great inner energy.

Girls born in December can be very hot-tempered and emotional, but at the same time they are persistent and know how to achieve success, not being afraid to overcome difficulties. In addition, the advantages of December girls include their kindness, responsiveness and forbearance. They are easy-going and almost never take offense. December girls are romantic and very faithful at heart. When choosing a name for your daughter, remember that a beautiful combination of sounds is not enough, the name must carry some meaning, because it affects not only a person’s character, but also his destiny.

Women's name day December 12 - names:

Constance of Latin origin. Means “faithful, constant.” There is no such name in Orthodoxy. At baptism, the girl is named according to Christmastide.

They commemorate the martyr Paramon of Bithynia and with him 370 other martyrs. Saints suffered during the reign of Emperor Deka for the Christian faith. The ruler of the regions in the east, Aquian, threw 370 Christians into prison. He demanded that they sacrifice to idols and renounce Christ. They were tortured, hoping through torture and the threat of death to force them to renounce the Lord and worship pagan idols. Paramon, observing the torment of Christians, exposed the cruelty of the ruler. After brutal torture, Paramon and 370 martyrs were beheaded.

They commemorate the martyr Philumen of Ancyra.

The martyr Philumen lived during the reign of Emperor Aurelian, Lycaonia. The saint sold livestock in the city of Ankyra, in Galatia. Philemen was slandered before the ruler Felix. He confessed to him that he was a Christian, for which he was hung up, flogged alive, and then thrown into the fire, from where, by God’s grace, he emerged unharmed. Then they drove nails into the martyr's head, legs and arms and dragged him for more than forty miles. After these tortures, the saint gave up his spirit to the Lord.

Names for Sagittarius girls and Capricorn babies

The zodiac calendar for December begins with the constellation Sagittarius, which after the 22nd moves under the star Capricorn. The characters of girls born at the beginning and end of the month will be influenced by these two constellations.

Sagittarius develops a passion for knowledge in the baby. The girl is interested in everything, she is not afraid of obstacles or possible disapproval from her parents if she studies something.

Mothers may begin to scold the girl for a broken toy, but she did not do it out of malice, but simply studied the contents.

Adult companies where there is a discussion of issues attract Sagittarius girls like a magnet. They are ready to take on any work just to hear how the conversation develops.

If you instill in her a desire to know the facets of her body, a girl born under the sign of Sagittarius will become an excellent athlete, an outstanding mathematician or surgeon.

The main driving force in it is unquenchable interest.

Choose rare and memorable names for girls:

• Luchezara;
• Zarifa;
• Julia;
• Shane;
• Alesta;
• Angelina;
• Madina.

Capricorn comes into its own on December 22, and immediately limits the impulsiveness of girls. Outdoor games are being replaced by logical tasks, puzzles, and pyramids. Parents of Capricorn babies will not encounter disassembled dolls. Rather, the baby will gather a family of them, seat them in their places, and come up with an activity for each of them.

Reasonableness is the main character trait of the baby born at the end of December.

She is hardworking, attentive, but slightly reserved. The girl loves home very much and does not strive to leave it for the sake of youth groups in the evenings or early marriage.

Capricorn girls draw their strength from their family. Grandmothers dote on them, and this is mutual.

Slight self-doubt will help to level out firm, strict names that give strength:

• Esther;
• Darina;
• Sophia;
• Natalia;
• Kira;
• Blast furnace;
• Pauline;
• Karina;
• Elizabeth.

Choosing a name according to the calendar

Just a few generations ago, our great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers did not ask such questions at all, since there was an ancient tradition of naming the baby in honor of the saint on whose day of veneration he was born. However, with the prosperity of atheism in a certain period of our history, they gradually began to move away from this custom, giving preference to innovative names (we have all heard about Vladlens, Tractors and Dazdraperms).

But lately we have increasingly begun to return to tradition, and names according to the church calendar are being chosen more and more often. Of course, it is unlikely to completely solve the problem, but at least here you can get a hint in which direction to move.

The December calendar is not very rich in female names, but there is plenty to choose from. If there is no saint holiday on your baby’s birthday, you can choose from the closest options.

On December 3, the memory of Anna and Tatiana is honored, on December 6 - Alice, on December 7, the name day of Catherine and August. The most birthday girls are on December 15, 17 and 23: 15 celebrate Angel Day of Maria, Antonina, Margarita, Tamara and Vera, 17 - Kira, Ulyana, Yulia, Varvara, Anastasia and Ekaterina, and 23 - Anna, Tatyana, Alexandra, Victoria, Angelina , Olesya and Evdokia. December 21 and 22 are the name days of Anna, Euphrosyne and Anfisa, and December 28, 29 and 31 are for Yana, Marna, Sofia, Karina, Zoya and Vera.

From the entire list, we have selected the options that are most adapted to modern times. Among the more exotic names for girls, the calendar offers such as Lukerya, Vaufa, Thekla, Cecilia, Cypriana, Myropia, Christodoula, Feloveya, Stratia, Lucia and Suzanna (more precisely, there this name sounds like Sosanna). As you can see, the names are quite unusual and varied, and even the most demanding future parents will be able to find a suitable option.

Names according to the calendar

Parents often look at the church calendar in search of a name for their newborn. This way you can choose a patron for your baby. There are many beautiful outdated names in the list of saints. These are the fashion today.

Psychologists do not recommend calling girls too pretentious and exotic names. As long as a little person realizes and appreciates individuality, he can go through the misunderstanding of his peers. Calling names is not pleasant for anyone. They can cause psychological trauma to winter girls with a difficult character and cause dislike for their name for many years.

Choosing a name for a December girl according to the Orthodox calendar

It is noteworthy that many points are repeated several times even within one month: over the course of a year, many such repetitions are formed. We draw the attention of future parents to the fact that the church favorably views the choice of names for children and does not require obligatory adherence to the church calendar with the indicated name days and memorial days.

On its pages you can find many worthy options for girls and boys: for example, Arseny, Vasily, Vladimir, Nikolai, Peter are quite widespread in our and neighboring countries, being at the same time accepted in the church.
