Only once in a lifetime do parents have the opportunity to name their child. You should definitely prepare for this carefully and discuss together the options that you like best. Today, astrologers and other specialists talk a lot about the importance of making the right choice. In their works you can see how the fate of a person with a certain name can turn out. No one can confirm or deny the reliability of such information, but it is worth familiarizing yourself with it; perhaps some arguments in the description of the option you like will become compelling reasons for making a decision.
The male name Nikolai does not lose its popularity today. Its various variations can be heard in different countries, but it came to us, like most names, from ancient Greece. The literal meaning is “conqueror of nations.” In Christianity there is a very revered Nicholas the Wonderworker, whom our ancestors loved very much, and today many go to church with their prayers and requests. The name Nicholas became relevant for Kievan Rus only after Christianity was adopted. It is the saint that many people think about when they give their son such a beautiful and ancient name. Parents really believe that the child will have a strong and powerful protector who simply cannot abandon him in difficult times and will always help him find a way out.
Little Kolya.
From early childhood, the baby will clearly show his parents that he really needs freedom. He will show character for any reason, and sometimes it will become difficult to cope with the baby. The child will grow up to be a real fidget. Parents will be calm while he is in kindergarten, and teachers will begin to wait in the morning for the child to be taken home. He needs to be constantly occupied with something so that he can sit still calmly. Children, watching the energetic baby, gladly take part in all his games and unquestioningly obey the inventor and ringleader. In kindergarten, such energy will be directed in a peaceful direction and the most that kids can do is play catch-up or hide-and-seek, but during school years it will be difficult to cope with such a child.
Complaints from teachers about disruptions to lessons or similar childish behavior may continue until the child finishes 11th grade. Despite such a lively and active character, he can still become a diligent student, especially considering that he masters almost all subjects very easily. Most often, the child shows a tendency towards precise objects. Continents and physics do not seem difficult or boring to him; he enjoys solving problems and proving theorems, delighting both teachers and his parents.
The child is very cheerful and cheerful, he easily fits into a new team and very quickly makes new friends and acquaintances. His hobbies may include completely different and sometimes incompatible things, but he has enough attention for everything. Parents will be surprised how they can play football or war games at the same time and then calmly practice chess.
Parents should definitely pay attention to the fact that in some cases Kolya demands increased attention to himself or begins to playfully capricious. You cannot react to such provocations, much less satisfy all your son’s whims, otherwise he will grow up to be a very spoiled and selfish young man. Strictness in upbringing must be present; sometimes control will be absolutely useful. A child needs to be loved and pampered, but only within certain limits; he should not become the center of family life. All grievances or even children's tears about a toy left in the store, which is not particularly needed, should be left unattended. The child just needs to clearly and strictly formulate why mom or dad didn’t buy what he asked for. Displayed tantrums should not be a concern, nor should judgment from other people. Parents should remember that all this is done only for the well-being of the child, and not for everyone’s approval.
Love.
Nikolai will grow up to be a young man who will be able to first evaluate the girl’s external world, and then will evaluate all external parameters. For him, the most attractive feature will be the sharp mind and high level of intelligence of the chosen one. In relationships, Nikolai is able to prove himself as jealous and possessive. He will not listen to reproaches from the girl even when they are truly justified. If there is intimacy in a relationship, then it is at these moments that you can consider a real man, he will give compliments not out of a sense of duty, but sincerely, and when he confesses his love, then it will really be true. It should be noted that men with the name Nikolai often pay attention to girls with luxurious forms, without holding their gaze on slender and thin figures.
The time for romantic dates and courtship will be organized according to all the rules, the young man will do everything as beautifully and correctly as possible. This tactic will help him seduce his chosen one. Kolya can do this when, even after breaking up with him, the girl has no anger or resentment left, but, most likely, a slight sadness because everything ended so quickly.
Nikolai's girls can change very quickly. He loves to conquer and charm, but quickly loses interest after that. Even in short-term relationships, he does not allow the option of betrayal, and if such a thought appears, then he simply leaves.
Families.
Lust for love can very often become the reason for a rather late marriage; a man will carefully look at possible candidates and carefully analyze everything. If he decided to take a girl to the registry office, then he definitely loves her very much. The chosen one of such a man can become a very happy woman, because in the barque Nikolai will reveal himself as a good owner, a caring and very attentive husband, and after some time as a truly amazing father. Such a man will very often be set as an example by his wife’s friends to their husbands; they may envy such family happiness and complete harmony. Cheating in marriage is unacceptable for a man. This option is only possible if the wife denies him intimacy. He will be able to satisfy his physiological needs with another woman, but will begin to carefully hide such a relationship from his wife.
Children will bask in the attention of their dad, he can happily study with them and teach them lessons, it is absolutely not difficult for him to take children to school or pick them up from school. All these responsibilities can bring him real pleasure and joy. The only problem that can arise in such a family is the man’s excessive love for alcohol. If the wife can stop all such phenomena, then the family can truly be called ideal.
Job.
For his colleagues and management, Nikolay will be a responsible and competent employee with whom to work. In a leadership position, he will prove to be a very tough and demanding leader, he will enjoy his authority and power, and this can have a very negative impact on his character.
He himself is not a slacker and will never tolerate negligence towards work on the part of his subordinates.
A beautiful and sonorous name is only the first step towards a happy and dignified life. Proper upbringing and attention from parents will really help a boy become a worthy and real man.
When is Nicholas’ name day according to the church calendar:
May 22, December 19 - Nicholas of Myra, archbishop, miracle worker, August 10 - Nicholas of Novgorod, holy fool for Christ's sake, March 22 - Nicholas of Sevastopol, martyr.
Name fashion always changes quickly. If about twenty years ago Sasha, Seryozha, Lena and Ani went to first grade, then ten years later they were already replaced by Nastya, Alina, Kirill. It happens that children are named in the spirit of the times, sometimes in honor of prominent relatives or simply grandparents. Recently, people have again begun to resort to the calendar, and the half-forgotten old nominal forms Miron, Nazar, Matvey have come into life. But there are some names that are always popular and loved. The name days of Nicholas, Andrei, and Alexander have been celebrated for thousands of years, but they are not perceived as archaic.

The name has Greek roots, and its translation means “victorious people.”
These people have been in good health since childhood due to their increased energy tone. They are enough for good training and sufficient communication with peers.
As a rule, Nikolai are balanced people; they approach decision-making in the same balanced way.
Hardworking, sociable and friendly - all this is about Nikolai. Quite a demanding leader.
By nature he is an amorous person, prone to adventure in love. He may marry a girl he doesn’t know well, but thanks to good intuition, he will be right. Loves children and spoils them.
You should be careful with alcoholic beverages.
Nikolai is essentially a secretive person. Strives for development and has his own opinion. Never reveals his true motives to the end.
Day Angel
Nicholas's name day according to the church calendar is very common and happens almost every week. A lot of people named by this name were canonized by the church at different times.
Pskov Nikolai celebrates his name day on February 28th. The Orthodox call him Nikula. On this day the church commemorates the day of his death.
The people of Rus', especially children, looked forward to the name day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, or St. Nicholas the Pleasant, which falls on December 19 and May 22.
Saint Nicholas of Myra is considered the patron saint of children and disadvantaged people. Our people love him for his kindness and generosity.
According to one legend, he helped the family marry off their dowry daughters by throwing a bag of gold into the house.
Nicholas the Wonderworker became the prototype of Santa Claus. Patronizes sailors and travelers.
The name Nikolai is identical to the nominal form Nicodemus. Initially, it was customary for the Old Believers to call Nicholas Nikolai. This form was considered correct.
Name day of Nikolai Ugodnik
According to the church calendar, they occur twice a year. People say: “Nikola Winter and Nikola Summer: one with frost, the other with grass.” Both holidays are important for people who work with the earth.
Legend has it that a peasant was driving a cart and got stuck in a muddy puddle. The cart was loaded, he himself was unable to cope with the trouble.
At this time, Kasyan was heading to God in heaven; he walked past, but did not respond to the man’s call for help. So the peasant would have spent the day in the mud if Saint Nicholas had not come to his aid. He helped the man get out, but he himself was covered in mud. So Nikola went to heaven.
Both saints came to God, and he asked why Nicholas was late and looked unkempt. The saint told about the incident, then the Lord became curious why Kasyan did not help the peasant? He said that he was afraid of not being on time for the meeting and getting dirty.
God reasoned: since Kasyan did not help, his name day will be celebrated once every four years, and Nicholas’ name day, according to the church calendar, will be celebrated twice a year.
And so it happened that Kasyan’s angel day is February 29th. The name day of St. Nicholas the Pleasant is honored on May 22 - when his relics arrived in the Italian city of Baria from Turkish Lycia, and on December 19 - the day of the saint's death.
Life and miracles
Saint Nicholas is an ambulance, he loves the people. And this love is mutual. The saint was an example of a meek disposition. Saint Nicholas was a follower of the apostles of the Lord; he was considered a zealous disciple of God and a teacher of people.
Three centuries later, after the crucifixion of Christ, at the first Ecumenical Council, with its help it was proven that Jesus Christ is one of the hypostases of the Holy Trinity. He fought against heresy and ignorance.
During his lifetime, this man was known for acting as a reconciliator between warring parties. He protected the innocent in court, saving them from death.
There are legends that he resurrected a lifeless sailor with prayer.
One day Saint Nicholas helped starving Lycia. He appeared in a dream to a grain merchant who was going to the West and told him to bring food to Turkey. Nikolai promised to buy all the bread from the sailor and gave money as a deposit. When the merchant woke up, he found coins in his hand and hurried to Lycia with bread. So the people were saved from hunger.
Signs and traditions
Winter St. Nicholas is celebrated on a special scale. Although the dishes are all lean, friends and relatives are called together. Honey gingerbreads and cakes are baked and served to children.
On this day, you definitely need to do something for a stranger who needs help. It is believed that if you do not show attention to disadvantaged people, then the next seven years will be difficult and unprofitable.
Gifts for children are a must. The Slavs put them under the pillow, and the Europeans put them in hanging socks, next to which they put a carrot for the donkey on which the saint moved.
“Varvara is paving, Savva is sharpening nails, and Nikola is hammering.” From this day on, serious frosts began.
People said: “Nicholas would have arrived in time, and then winter itself would come for him,” “After St. Nicholas Day, you can praise winter,” “In the winter before St. Nicholas, a thaw may come.”
There are two Nikolas every year: until winter there is no cold, until summer there is no warmth.
How much snow there will be for the winter Nicholas, the same amount of grass there will be for the summer one.
Ritual for the day of St. Nicholas the Ugodnik
On Nicholas's name day, prepare 40 candles and an icon of the saint. You will need matches and a plate of salt.
After this, put all the candles in a plate with salt and light them. For such a quantity you need to take a wide plate. When the candles are lit, you need to read a prayer to the Wonderworker, and then a letter. Having finished reading it, you can burn it in the flame of candles and wait until they burn completely.
The ashes should be thrown into the wind, and the candle stubs should be collected in a bag and placed behind the icon of the saint for a year. After a while, they should be taken to the church and placed there.
Beloved and respected by the people, the saint has not been forgotten to this day. He lives in stories and legends, in people named after him. And he will continue to live as long as he is remembered and honored.
A little man who comes into this world receives a gift from birth - two Angels. The first is an Angel who helps to do good deeds and avoid evil - the Guardian Angel. The second Angel is the saint whose name we bear. This Angel asks God to help us. To remember this helper, there is an old tradition of celebrating the name day, the day of the Angel. For every Christian this is a special day, his spiritual birthday. Name day is the day of remembrance of the saint thanks to whom a person received his name.
When a baby is baptized, the church gives him the name of a saint. Thus, the baby receives direction for self-realization.
The baby still has a lot to achieve in life, so he always needs support. Receiving at baptism the name of a saint who became famous for his deeds, a person also receives an assistant who rejoices and mourns with him. Therefore, in addition to physical birth, every person also has a spiritual birthday, which is called name day.
Previously, there was a custom: at baptism, a person received a name, which was chosen according to certain rules. The baby received the name of the saint whose memory was celebrated on the day the baby was born or on the day the baptism procedure was carried out. For girls, it was allowed to make a shift of several days if there were no days of remembrance of holy women on the day of their birth or baptism. Thanks to this custom, the day of physical (actual) birth and name day were connected and merged together. This is where the custom comes from calling those who celebrate their birthday birthdays.
According to another rule, the baby could be named after a saint whom the parents had chosen earlier. Parents prayed to this saint even before the baby was born. In this case, the name day was celebrated on the day of remembrance of this saint. If there were several such days in a year, then they chose the date that was closest to the baby’s birthday.
You can celebrate your name day in different ways. A Christian must remember that on this day it is advisable to come to church, pray, confess, and receive spiritual support.
To be worthy of your name, you need to read and study data about the life of your patron saint. In addition, it is worth finding a prayer to your saint, which you can read both in difficult moments of life, and simply every day, remembering your patron.

Name Nikolai comes from the ancient Greek Nikolaos, whose roots “nika” - victory and “laos” - people, determine the meaning of the name as the winner of nations, conquering the people.
A reliable and good, however, somewhat harsh name. He is characterized by tenderness and kindness.
Among the numerous patron saints of this name, the most famous was the wonderworker, Archbishop Nikolai Mirlikiysky .
The Great Nicholas the Wonderworker was born in Asia Minor in the city of Patara. Miraculous signs of his life began to occur from his very birth, as if pointing to the great destiny of the holy baby for the Church of Christ. As bishop of the city of Myra in Lycia, the saint became famous as a great saint of God, a miracle worker and a man of prayer, filled with love for people and God.
One day, appearing at the scene of the execution of three townspeople, he dared to snatch the sword from the hands of the executioner and publicly expose the bribed judge. He was also able to save three generals from death by coming to Emperor Constantine in a dream and explaining to him his mistake. During the famine, he again appeared in a dream to the grain merchant and ordered him to send all the goods to Mira. There are many legends and stories about the miracles of Nicholas, in which he saves drowning people and sailors, and brings back to life schoolchildren cut into pieces by the villain. In Rus', the cult of Nicholas is especially widespread: he is the patron of carpenters, tirelessly helping peasants, and the bearer of beneficial natural forces in the form of Father Frost.
Another patron is the holy fool for Christ’s sake, blessed Nicholas of Pskov, who lived in the 16th century. During his life he performed many signs and wonders, but his main merit was saving the city of Pskov from the uncontrollable wrath of Tsar Ivan the Terrible.
Nikolai Pskovsky died in 1576.
Modern Nicholas is a dark horse: his thoughts and actions cannot be predicted. He is distinguished by enormous self-control, which is quite simple to explain: there are very few things in life that are truly capable of touching his coldish heart. Being a merciless analyst, he constantly tries to pretend that he is friendly and simple. Although, like all people, Nikolai craves care and love, therefore he responds to those who are kind to him with devotion and tenderness.
:
August 4– For Christ’s sake, holy fool Nikolai Novgorod, Kochanov.
March 22- Martyr Nicholas of Sebaste.
