Our ancestors believed that the name given to a person at birth has a huge impact on his future destiny. Many signs and superstitions are associated with the names, many of which have survived to this day.
The family should not have people with the same name.
The name affects the fate of a person, therefore, a newborn should not be given a name that already bears one of the family members. It is believed that in this case, the energy of two people begins to intersect. Young children have an extremely weak energy field. The fate, illness, vices of the older family member, after whom the newborn was named, can also pass on to the child.
Sometimes it happens that one of the namesakes may even die. It is even worse if three people in a family share the same name at once. It was believed that if the elder dies, he will take the younger to the next world.
You can talk as long as you like about simple coincidences and about the fact that signs do not work. It is enough just to walk through the cemetery and look at the years of life of relatives with the same names to draw appropriate conclusions.
I personally know a woman whom my father named after her mother. So we got two Marina in the house. I know how she hates her name all her life, they had a very difficult relationship with her mother throughout the whole time, despite the fact that they are both very good women. When they are around, they constantly swear. My friend, even at baptism, took a different name and asks all her new acquaintances to call her by the name given to her then. Sometimes such confusion arises, because all her old acquaintances still call her Marina.
Same names for husband and wife
This is a good sign. Spouses with the same names (Valery and Valeria, Alexander and Alexandra) with each year they live together are getting closer to each other.
It is believed that spouses with the same name will live a long and happy married life.
Newborns cannot be named after deceased relatives.
Naming a child after a deceased grandmother or grandfather is a common thing, however, such a tradition will not lead to good. Previously, people believed that a child can take on the character and fate of the person after whom he was named.
There are many known cases when, named after an early widowed grandmother, the granddaughter also prematurely lost her husband. Again, maybe this is just a coincidence, but who wishes his child a repetition of the fate of the unfortunate deceased relative.
The tradition of giving a child a secret name
This tradition is still practiced today. At baptism, a person may be called by a completely different name. The name given at baptism is intended to protect a person.
It is believed that if you keep the name given at baptism in secret, then the dark forces will not bother a person.
If a person does not associate himself with the name given to him at baptism, then he loses contact with the Guardian angel.
In difficult times, call your Guardian Angel for help. Prayer to him will bring you relief, help you overcome fear, get rid of pain and calm your nerves.
