IT IS NOT NECESSARY 'TO NAME ADDRESSED TO'
At a choice of a name for the newborn certain rules and interdictions (not always coinciding, the truth, in different traditions) were always observed. So, representation that 'to name addressed to' dangerously since 'one of namesakes will be the death of another' has been widely widespread. 'It is not necessary to name the child a name of the people living in the same house, not that one of namesakes can die'. (For modern high-rise buildings a problem practically not выполнимая).
This sign that each person has a guardian angel depending on a name and if in one house two persons are named in its honour it it is simple not in a condition was based to save each of them.
Today this sign was transformed. It is considered that it is better, when the name-patronymic of the person does not coincide. Though advantages of a name in this situation also double, but lacks are aggravated also, is frequent to dangerous line. Besides different VanVanychiPalychi also Has fallen bear in itself something pejorative and official.
However, sometimes children specially name identical names in the magic purposes. For example, if at the woman one girls are born, it should name last that the following the boy was born.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NAME THE NEWBORN THE NAME OF RECENTLY DIED MEMBER OF THE FAMILY
In different traditions the relation to называнию children names of the died members of a family variously. But nevertheless in most cases to name children such names avoided. Was considered that in this case the child can receive destiny died or never marries. Especially were afraid of a name of the drowned man, being afraid, that the child has not sunk in the future.
Belief in that carriers of one name have identical destiny or similarity of characters, underlies an interdiction to name newborns names which carry or carried feeble-minded, drunkards, desperate cowards, etc.
It is impossible to give to the newborn and a name of the died child that it did not inherit its fate.
It is possible to name the child a name of the died grandfather or the grandma if they were happy and successful: the destiny is inherited through generation.

NAME CONCEALMENT
Concealment (табуирование) a name during ancient times was applied to protection of the person, especially the child from the evil spirit directing damage 'addressed to' and powerless, when a real name of a victim it is not known. From here the sign which has remained to this day: 'to Open a name till a christening - a heavy sin which can cause death of the newborn'.
In Russia to protect the child from the sorcerer, hid it 'истиное' a name given at a christening, and used other, 'false' name.
A number of interdictions is connected with marriage and family institute. After wedding the woman should observe strict rules именования the husband, his parents, sisters and the brothers, excluding the use of their real names. The husband also did not name the wife a personal name. Tabuistichesky replacements at именовании spouses are live and today (mine, washing, the muzhik, the woman, the owner, old, old, the husband, the wife).

NAMES DIED - PROTECTION LIVE
On national поверьям, names died (especially drowned men) Possess magic ability to protect the person. Existed much поверий which seem today ridiculous.
In case of a fire it is recommended to run all over three times the house, crying out names of twelve drowned men.
And not to send the child, the woman should recollect names of three drowned men.
To drowned men Slavs addressed on names with spells and entreaties about disgust from village градовой clouds and about ниспослании a rain during a drought.

ОКЛИКАНИЕ BY NAME
Окликание on a name - one of kinds of magic which ancient Slavs often used.
At Russian, for example, the newborn who is not finding out signs of a life, called names of relatives, then other names. The name at which the child revived, and became his name.
At east Slavs somewhat quicker to forget the late husband, the widow shouted his name in a chimney.
And that the spasm has released, it is necessary to say a name of the father.

ОКЛИКАНИЕ EVIL SPIRIT
Окликание it is attributed also to evil spirit which cannot harm to the person if does not know his name. So, believed that mermaids attack only those who will respond on their call.
If the person has appeared at night at a crossroads or on a cemetery, and also is in a dangerous condition, for example, the pregnant woman, and suddenly hears that someone calls him by name, he should not respond at all: this voice can belong to evil spirit.
SELF-CALL
Self-call is выкликание own name. At southern Slavs it was considered effective оберегом from snakes.
In the spring when the person for the first time will see a snake, he should cry out loudly the name that all year of a snake audibility of its voice was kept from it at arm's length.

CROSSING
The name in ritual could be object and the magic tool. The crossing, i.e. name change, was widely used in national medicine as means of 'regeneration' of the person, cancellation of its communication with illness and a deceit of the demonic forces sending illness. Ukrainians of Zakarpatja, for example, symbolically 'sold' the sick child in a family where children grew healthy, and thus named its new name.
Preventively to renaming and называнию the child an artificial name resorted and in families where children died.
The same sense of 'regeneration' renaming at пострижении had the person in monks, at рукоположении, at a christening.
At Russian dissenters-runners a crossing used before death or 'leaving from the world'.
Renaming was widely applied and in cattle breeding magic. So, for protection of cows against evil spirit in купальскую night peasants gave them new nicknames.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO VARY NEITHER NAMES, NOR CAPS
To exchange names is same what to exchange destinies.
Name do not change, if on that there are no serious reasons not to lose the heavenly patron.
The person with a new name as the newborn, its aura is broken off, without district light. With another's (new) name new character traits which can enter into the contradiction with the former are got. The same happens and at an exchange of names between people.
Here we will notice that a name имеетсвою energy which throughout all life irradiates destiny of the person. And when a name in vain, too often say it decreases and it is deformed. That is why repeatedly repeated names of leaders became as though nominal and by that demonic.
The name protect, say a little and firmly - then you become stronger in the destiny.

CHRISTENING AND CUSTOMS, WITH IT CONNECTED
Сакральностьимянаречения, going back to the most ancient мифоэпической traditions, the reflexion finds in folk beliefs and the ceremonies connected with the Christening, and especially in mythological treatment некрещенных children.
Today in many cases the aspiration of parents to christen children speaks the superstitious reasons ('that have not maleficiated') and a tribute to traditions, instead of desire to attach the newborn to church. But even in this case the Christening ceremony bears in itself positive improving function.
Christening procedure strongly is considered that and at once influences a condition of the baby - it becomes much quieter, better sleeps and is ill less. It is considered to be that the destiny крещеного the person differs affinity to God, so, stronger protection against any misfortunes.
If the child некрещен, without a name, to it a demon can easily be risen. Was considered that некрещенные children sink is more often. Even grandmas did not treat non-Christian children - all the same, де, will not help.
Children from the moment of a birth and till the Christening or died 'without a cross' relied dirty and нередкотрактовались as animal or demonic beings, they do not have name ('without a name the child the imp'). That the child has not died anonymous, it was accepted to name at once after a birth it 'метеринским' or a 'time' name. At Russian all children till the Christening called usually Najdenami, Bogdanami, i.e. God-given.
Christened the child and named it under the Calendar usually for the eighth day, and if the child weak at once after a birth that has not died некрещенным and has not turned in a demon. If such misfortune occurred, it was necessary to distribute to neighbour's children forty нательных daggers and forty corbels.
For any believing person his name was protection and оберегом, after all it was a name of its angel of the keeper. Therefore роаньше in Russia a name-day празновались is more magnificent, than birthday about which many in general forgot as these events almost coincided on time.
