Find a name for the baby. What is the best name for a child? Avoiding "star" combinations

Often in a family where a male baby is expected to be born, one of the most difficult problems is choosing a name. Now they choose names for boys with a slightly “foreign” sound, and traditional Russian ones. But in any case, the choice should be balanced, depending on many criteria.

The most important thing

In pursuit of the best or most beautiful of names, it is important not to miss the main thing:

When choosing a name for a boy who will continue the clan and protect the family clan, it is important that in the future it becomes the basis of a good sonorous patronymic for grandchildren.
Rare, strange, funny, meaningless names of boys are negatively perceived by society. For example, the name of the hero of your favorite series can become an object of ridicule for a child at school and kindergarten.
Psychologists do not recommend naming a child after the father. In addition to domestic inconvenience with a coincidence, this may be the cause of nervous breakdowns of the future heir.

In honor of relatives

A peculiar tradition of naming a boy as a sign of respect, gratitude, love for someone is an interesting idea. But will the owner of the name like it in the future? Here are examples of whom male children are often named after:

Relative. It can be a dear grandfather, uncle, beloved godfather of one of the parents. Why not? The child will be the darling of a beloved relative, an object of care and protection.
Deceased relative. Not the most best idea for superstitious parents. So it was customary among the people that the newborn in this case, on a subconscious level, will copy all the character traits and fate of the deceased.

A child can be named in honor of a man - an obstetrician who safely delivered, or any other person who once gave a helping hand, who played a crucial role in the fate of the father or mother of the unborn child. In any case, the decision must be balanced, negotiated by both the father and the mother.

Seasons

The time of the year when the birth of a child is planned affects the fate and character of the newborn.

Consider the names of boys born in different seasons:

Winter. Arseny, Mikhail, Pavel, Alexey, Semyon, Valentin. Soft and calm names are necessary for a kind of compensation for the stubborn, strong, strong-willed nature of winter men.
Spring. Harder-sounding ones are suitable here, because spring children rarely have a lively character. So that the unborn child is always confident in himself, he can be called Oscar, Boris, Timur, Victor, Gleb.
Summer. Active, proud, summer men love risk and freedom. Short, courageous ones are suitable for these people: Gleb, Roman, Denis, Anton, Mark.
Autumn. Balanced realists born in autumn trust few people. Smart and calm boys of this season need sonorous names that claim attention: Nikolai, Sergey, Peter, Felix, Herman, Cyril.

Surname and patronymic

Parents sorting out names for a boy need to think about the euphony of the name in combination with the patronymic and surname of the child. Consonants play an important role. It can be predominant voiced or deaf consonants. The name must contain the same consonant sounds as in the patronymic or surname. For example, Ivanov Matvey Semenovich (the predominance of noisy consonants) or Andreev Viktor Borisovich (solid consonants).

This combination is considered pleasant for hearing and pronunciation, and also makes communication with the owner easy and convenient. Many people think that short boy names are more suitable for long surnames and vice versa.

It's fashionable

Naming a boy in a fashionable way is the choice of many modern parents who keep up with the times. Every New Year rich in an abundance of popular male names.

What are relevant in the mid-2010s?

Arthur,
Adam,
Hermann,

Rudolf,
Plato,
Taras.

Fashionable ones are often outdated, long forgotten, for example, Khariton, Clement, Zakhar. In an effort to pay tribute to fashion, it is important not to overdo it and not call the boy too funny, complicated or strange.

According to the church calendar

A little time has passed since all the children were named according to the name day in church calendar. Such a calendar prompted parents for male names for a newborn. To this day, it is believed that a boy named according to the calendar will have good health, a successful job and a happy family. Unfortunately, such a calendar has a limited number of names that modern spouses might like.

According to value

Each name, translated from various ancient languages, has a special characteristic, meaning. When choosing a name for a boy, parents often want to invest certain qualities in the future heir:

Andrew is courageous.
Boris is a fighting man.
Leo - intelligence and foresight.
Nikita is a winner. An excellent choice for a future athlete.
The novel is a favorite of women.
Peter - independence, conviction.
Sergey is an ideal father and husband.
Tikhon is a lucky man.
Constantine - constancy.

Valery, Vitaly - those names that personify health and fortitude. Anton is a competitive person who struggles with difficulties. So it is advised to call weak or premature children so that the magic of the name gives the boys vitality and improved health.

Important Points

Names for boys can be beautiful, short, old, double, foreign.

But, among other things, when choosing, attention should be paid to such points:

Nationality. Many families where the spouses are representatives of different nationalities experience difficulties in choosing how to name the child. Here it is important to think about it in advance, find a compromise and take into account the national identity of the future baby. This will avoid further marital disagreements and resentment.
A diminutive form of the name. This form should not irritate, cause irony, be too difficult to pronounce.
Place of residence. prim, refined, rare names boys are out of place in small villages with a predominance of traditional views on life. Marseille, Alfred, Antonio, Emmanuel will be more harmoniously perceived by the society of megacities.

So, the choice of how to name the boy must be approached with all responsibility so that the future man is proud and not ashamed of his name.

Our dear readers, this article will be of interest to those who are interested in the question of how to name a child, a boy. We will consider how best to name the baby in accordance with the time of year when the addition is expected, taking into account the sign of the zodiac, we will talk about what generally needs to be considered when choosing a name for the future man.

Features of choice

When deciding how to name a son, a number of points must be taken into account.

Think about the future. When choosing how to name a little one, see that later it becomes an excellent middle name for your grandchildren.
Choose an option that sounds beautiful with the last name, also with the middle name of the little one. Choose those in which there would be a predominance of deaf or voiced consonants.
It is considered incorrect to name a child after its parent. Cases have been recorded when this led to nervous disorders in the baby.
It is not necessary for the little ones living in the countryside to give some exquisite foreign names.
If the child has a long surname, then it is better to choose a short name and vice versa.
Having decided on the name, think about how its diminutive form sounds. It is desirable that it is not difficult to pronounce and does not cause irony.
When deciding on how to name a child, choose such an option that it is equally beautiful, both for a small baby and for an adult man.
You should not give your son a female-male name if it is difficult to understand a man or a woman by the last name.
If you are thinking about how to name your son unusually, then you should consider that such a decision may harm him in the future. It is possible that he will be negatively perceived in society and it will be difficult for a child to live with such a name. This is especially true in those cases when the mother names the baby in honor of her favorite actor or hero from the series.
It is not recommended to give a child with a Russian surname and patronymic, for example, an Arabic name and vice versa.
When choosing a name, get acquainted with its meaning and origin.

When we decided what to name our son, we paid attention to the meaning of the names that we liked the most. So the choice was made on Nikita - the winner.

Named after a relative

If you decide to name your baby in honor of a specific loved one, then you need to be careful and take into account some features.

Naming a baby after your father or beloved uncle is not doing anything wrong. And the person after whom you named the child will be very pleased. Then you can be sure that all the attention of a relative will be riveted to your baby, as well as his concern.
In the case when parents name their son in honor of one of the relatives who is no longer alive, this is a bad sign. According to popular belief, it is believed that such a peanut will repeat the fate of a person who has died. Of course, if you are not superstitious, and besides, the deceased relative lived a wonderful, happy life, then why not.

Name and season

Not everyone knows that the month in which the baby was born largely determines his future character. It is believed that if you name the little one according to the month of his birth, then such a child will be happy and will show his best qualities to a greater extent.

Now you know how to name a boy. Keep the criteria in mind when choosing a name. Do not forget that it is it that largely affects the character of the baby and influences his future.

All parents face the question of how to properly name a child. And it is desirable to make a choice before his birth, since parents are given only a month after the birth to register the baby. Choosing a name is an interesting and enjoyable task. But it is necessary to approach its decision with all responsibility. After all, the name of a person largely determines his character, temperament, and perhaps even fate. So what's the name of the baby?

How to name an unborn child

When choosing a name for their unborn child, parents first of all think about how the name sounds, what it means and what it symbolizes. Many parents, following newfangled trends, name their babies after popular actors or movie characters. Some people prefer American and European names. But most parents still choose names that are common in Russia. If you are thinking about what name to give your child, to facilitate your search, consider the options for names that you can choose.

If you prefer to name your baby one of the popular names in Russia, then keep in mind that the fashion for names is constantly changing. So, for example, the most common names among adults in Russia are the male names Alexander, Sergey, Dmitry, Andrey, Alexei, Maxim, Evgeny and Ivan, as well as the female names Anastasia, Elena, Olga, Natalya, Ekaterina, Anna, Tatyana and Maria. At the same time, such names of boys as Yaroslav, Nikita, Daniil, Kirill, Artem, Maxim, Matvey, Mark and Yegor are now leading in the choice of names for newborns. For girls, parents most often choose the names Sofya, Eva, Milena, Polina, Arina, Alice, Kira and Anastasia. Perhaps one of them will suit your baby.

If you want to find a rare, unlike other name for your baby, I will give you examples of such rather extravagant names that modern parents choose: boys are called Vladlen, German, Rodion, Arsen, Lev and Jan, and girls are Renata, Angelica, Vitalina , Albina, Stella, Snezhana, Eleanor, Lada, Elvira, Nora, Tamila, Elina, Dana and Nonna.

If you want to find a beautiful name among European ones, then, for example, in Germany the most common names are Leon and Mia, in France Luke and Emma, in Spain Daniel and Lucia, as well as Jan, Lucas, Oliver, Christopher, Julia, Olivia, Maria , Lara and others.

Of the American names, the most popular are Madison, Isabella, Samantha, Ashley, Jacob, Michael, Matthew, Daniel, Christopher, Joseph and William. Americans prefer to choose biblical Protestant names, and some of them sound really good in Russian interpretation.

If you don't mind finding a beautiful name among biblical characters, or among the saints of the Orthodox Church, take a look at the church calendar. You can take from there any name you like. Or you can give the baby directly the name of the saint on whose day he was born. The decision to name the child according to the church calendar is not a bad choice. This is what our grandparents did. It is believed that the saint, on whose day the child was born, and in whose honor he is named, will always protect him, guard and help in difficult situations. If you did not find a suitable name in the church calendar on the child's birthday, take the name of the saint on one of the following days. The Church does not recommend taking the name of a saint from the days preceding the birth of a child.

If church name seems outdated to you, you can choose a more modern one, and at baptism give the child the church name of his patron saint. It is believed that if the name that a child receives during baptism is not known to anyone except his godparents, this makes a person more protected from envy and slander.

How not to name a child

In principle, you can choose any of the names you like, but it is still not recommended to name the baby after a relative or friend who lived a hard life, died from illness or an accident. It is believed that the child named after certain person, can repeat his fate. You can also not call the baby the name of the eldest child who died.

If you decide to name a child after a relative you love and respect very much, who lived a long, happy life and left behind pleasant memories, why not. Especially if the child really will be something to be proud of.

But be sure to think about how well the name combines with the surname and patronymic. What do the initials look like. Is it possible that something funny or offensive is obtained so that the name of the child does not become an object of ridicule in the garden or school. You should not choose a name that you personally associate with your favorite character from the book, but in real life sounds ridiculous. It is also better to refuse too long names that are difficult to pronounce. And the rest ... think, consult with family and friends, show imagination, and choose the name that will delight you and your baby.

With the birth of a child family life begins with a blank page: the wife becomes a mother, and the husband becomes a father. The responsibility for the future family member falls on both parents in the same way as the choice of a name. Parents will often have to decide complex or controversial issues for the child, but they still make the main choice at the very beginning of life - naming their baby.

Choosing a name before birth

Pregnancy is a special state. Do not be surprised if the fantasy that visited you during this period does not find understanding among relatives. Men, on the contrary, endure the pregnancy of their wives more rationally, turning from windy boys into real fathers of the family. So it turns out the clash of the rational and the ephemeral. After that, mothers begin to love their future children with selfless, unconditional maternal love, which they carry through their whole lives. What can sometimes not be said about dads, whose love "needs to be earned." Even after the birth of the baby, they look demandingly at his ridiculous movements, as if expecting something incredible. They cannot explain the crazy joy of the mother when the child sat down on his own for the first time or took a bottle in his hands. Fathers are distinguished by a tendency to increase the demands on the child with each new year of his growing up. And there's nothing you can do about it, such is physiology.

The same goes for choosing a name. Fathers want a swift, bold name in order to direct it to the right life path. The father is often ready to give the girl the name of his "first love". Horror! Many mothers are not even aware of such intentions and agree to Masha, Tanya or Natasha.

If the gender of the child is reliably known, you can and should choose a name before his birth. If you find it difficult to determine the exact name, opt for several options. After birth, when you see a child, you will surely understand which name is right for your baby.

Determine the gender of the baby early stage Pregnancy now is not difficult. Usually it is recognized from the indications of an ultrasound examination. But sometimes it is difficult or even impossible to do this: the baby turns away during the procedure.

Now there are electronic programs that help calculate the sex of the child, and various ancient methods are also used. Some adhere to the "sexological" hypothesis of the sex of the child, according to which couples actively making love produce boys in almost 99% of cases. If parents madly want a daughter, they need to refrain from each other for one to one and a half months.

In addition, it is believed that the appearance of a boy is facilitated by increased eating of meat, herbs, spicy vegetables and fruits, food with spices. But a fruit diet and an abundance of dairy products in the diet will prepare a woman's body for conceiving a girl.

Do not forget about the physiological side of the issue: there are a number of love positions that supposedly increase the chances of having a girl or a boy. The gender of the child is also calculated according to generic genetics, that is, comparing how many children, what gender and in what order were born in the family of the mother and father.

In the end, a woman can feel for herself who is growing inside her: a boy or a girl. Indeed, from the first minutes of intrauterine life, a mother talks to her baby, calls affectionately and gently, lets her listen to music, reads fairy tales. It’s not bad if the baby’s name is chosen in advance, then already in the tummy he will begin to get used to how he is called. But in general, a whole month is allotted for registering a child in the registry office, during which parents must decide on a name.

Great option name choice when the sex of the child is already known, it can become such. Mom or dad slowly read out the desired names, pronouncing each one loudly and clearly. At the same time, the reaction of the baby is monitored. If the movements are especially sharp and tangible, then this means that the name caused an emotion and it can be added to the list of possible ones.

Don't be afraid to choose a name for your baby before birth, don't be fooled by prejudice about redecorating a room prematurely or buying baby clothes for a baby. All this is speculation. The baby should feel care and attention - surround him with warmth and love long before the birth!

The desire to distinguish your child from the crowd, to make him special sometimes comes to a ridiculous, and sometimes to a sad result. And if grandparents are involved in choosing a name, the list of possible options doubles, or even triples. The search for the rarest name for a child turns into a real digression into history, geography and even literature.

The children's world is as cruel as it is beautiful. Not a single child in the world is immune from breakdowns, nervous shocks and the appearance of shyness. Most often, only parents can protect the baby from negativity. Of course, upbringing, maximum attention and care are the most important elements of growing up a child. But a name that is more like a nickname or too exotic or, conversely, outdated, can lead the child into such a stupor that isolation will become a normal state for him. Therefore, we remove parental individualism, turn on the mind, add a little (!) Creativity and choose a name for the baby.

Alexander and Shurochka

Here I would like to touch on the topic of dividing names into male and female in more detail. Boys are characterized by masculinity, courage, to some extent impudence, rudeness and other masculine qualities of character that are manifested in behavior. Girls are gentle creatures, always flirtatious and affectionate. All this is understandable.

And behind each name there is a certain secret meaning and a set of qualities is fixed. Each name carries some information, giving to its carrier character traits and behavioral norms. Men get more powerful, meaningful and fast-acting names compared to women. Boyish names should always sound masculine and rougher. Their sound and inner meaning are in no way comparable with the character of girls. Names for girls are softer, with an abundance of vowels and sonorous, hissing sounds. The meaning of each girl's name, affectionately sounding and easy to pronounce, reflects the feminine.

What happens when girls are given "male" names? Are they becoming more determined or more courageous? Take such a well-known maiden name as Alexandra. The name comes from ancient Greek. Once upon a time, the great Roman commander Alexander brought him popularity. It was then that the name got its meaning - "courageous, protector of all people." Much later, this name began to be called girls. According to legend, one of the fathers was expecting the birth of a boy, choosing a name for him in advance. But a girl was born. The father did not deviate from his own and named the newborn Alexandra.

Over time, the initial meaning of the name was reflected in the character of the ladies who wore it. So, Alexandra is characterized as active, a little secretive, possessing good health who is actively involved in sports and knows how to drive a car. She is determined and vindictive. Does not forgive deceit and lies. Sasha does not like to do household chores. In general, all the features of the corresponding male name transferred to feminine. And this obliges its owner to be stronger, which is not so bad in our time.

The name Alexander is euphonious. He has enough diminutive forms, and they are all beautiful: Sashenka, Sashulya, Shurochka, etc.

Zhenechka and Valyusha also have nothing to worry about: their character will be more resolute than that of their peers, and their names will be melodic and sonorous.

As for the "female" names that boys are called, this trend is rarely observed. Basically, the perception of this or that name as purely "male" or only "female" is influenced by society. So, initially the male version of the name Valentine is perceived as a transformation from female form Valentine. Therefore, the boy Valya in the school environment, and in later life, may be ridiculed. But the girl Valyusha will grow into a real Valentine with strong-willed character traits.

Thus, despite the assurances of the adherents of the theory of the sexual differentiation of names, we understand that there are names that are perfectly suited in sound, external correspondences and personally our inner feelings to our baby. And why not call the girl Sashenka or Zhenya, and the boy - Valya, such familiar and bisexual names. In the end, parents make their choice based on inner feelings, and not on the opinion of society, fashion trends or the persuasions of friends.

Discussion

“Turn on the mind, add a little (!) Creativity and choose a name for the child” - let many people throw stones at me, but no matter how hard I tried, I still didn’t understand the meaning of this paragraph: that is, it turns out that EVERYONE should be one hundred thousandth Sasha or Dims in the classroom, sandbox or somewhere else, and all other names are bad, right?. Well, I don’t want to call the child Sasha, even if you crack, I have already chosen a different name. Well, I did wrong and I am obliged to give up my choice, for the sake of someone saying something there ?, I know one Ilya Evgenievich, and everything in his life is good, beautiful and wonderful. Maybe it's still not the name that affects life, but the person himself glorifies him with his actions and deeds. In addition, why was Evgeny Petrovich Kataev able to name his youngest son in honor of Ilya Ilf, with whom they wrote "12 chairs" and other equally well-known works, but I don’t have the right to do this ?, somehow I just don’t understand this .

My husband and I have had more arguments than because of the name of the child. I didn't think it would be like this with the second one. We are planning a baby and at the same time arguing what to name)))

I entrusted this business to my daughter and she named Dima and now we have Dima in the family :)

Very useful article!!! Thanks.

The topic is dear to every parent. Previously, names were given really great importance and this was connected with the supernatural. Today, the child is given a name driven by the fashion for names. Let's choose two names for a girl and a boy, because both can get all parental love.
P.S. Well, except that wonderful TWINS appear.
Your Mobidig

Of course, nothing new, but interesting!

Well, just the same common truth! otherwise say.

Take such a well-known maiden name as Alexandra. The name comes from ancient Greek. Once upon a time, the great Roman commander Alexander brought him popularity.
- The author at school was alien to the course not only of biology, as correctly noted above, but also the course of history ...
However, psychology is also bypassed. Indeed, some kind of opus "a shop at the entrance, selected quotes." Extremely disappointed with the article.

"In addition, it is believed that the appearance of a boy contributes to the increased eating of meat, herbs, spicy vegetables and fruits, food with spices. But a fruit diet and an abundance of dairy products in the diet will prepare a woman's body for conceiving a girl."
This paragraph is incomprehensible. Who is considered? Grandmothers on the bench? From the point of view of biology, sorry nonsense.

Comment on the article "How to name a child? Listen to yourself!"

Just as some children are born with an unbridled temperament, so others are born shy and timid. Shyness is often a symptom of a reserved temperament, which is inherited like curly hair and blue eyes. How to learn to behave in the society of others Just as some children are born with an unbridled temperament, so others are born shy and timid.

According to the portal "New Region" [link-1], a new scandal is flaring up in the education sector of Yekaterinburg. The students of one of the municipal schools were given questionnaires - the institution is interested in the nuances of the private life of the wards and their parents in detail. In the “Survey Act” form, they ask about the level of well-being, the number of citizens registered in housing, and so on. Parents are already alarmed: who needs confidential information and why, where they will go and why on earth they ...

This question is asked by every parent. And although everyone makes an individual decision for himself, there are important points that you should know when choosing a name for your dear child.

originality and time

It is difficult to judge the originality of the name. For each particular family - this is its own concept. Like a fashion for names: for each time there is a trend in choosing names for a child.

Once my friend Sophia was the only girl with that name among our peers. Then, basically, everyone was called Natasha, Katya, Sveta, Elena. There were two or three girls in my class with those names. With the same names, the girls are in the yard. Now the name Sophia is popular, and the names that were often encountered earlier, on the contrary, have become rare. Everything changes with time.

Therefore, when trying to choose an original name for a child, pay attention to what names children are called now. There are very popular, even a little hackneyed names. If you want originality - do not repeat yourself!

Slavic or foreign?

Many are looking for originality in "overseas" names. Karolina, Milena, Alina and other foreign names, not at all close to Russian ones, have become very well rooted in our time.

Here it is worth paying attention to the fact that the child at baptism will be given something else - orthodox name. Over time, godparents and some relatives may forget him or begin to confuse him with a similar name. This can be difficult.

A friend of mine was secretly baptized by her grandmother in her childhood. Then there were several other priorities and baptism was "not held in high esteem." The boy was then small, he did not go to church for a long time. And when he grew up, his grandmother was no more, and the secret of his name at baptism left with her. It can be fixed. But if the name in the world and baptism is the same, it is much easier and more convenient for the future adult and his loved ones.

Combine Russian Orthodox traditions and the pace of modern population migration and international interaction, international names can. Such as Anna (Ann), Maria (Mary), Varvara (Barbara), Olga (Helga), Andrey (Andrew), Alexander (Alex), Sergey (Serge), etc.

Names of deceased relatives

A lot of people really like a certain name. But it is associated with some deceased relative. And fearing to repeat his fate, many avoid calling him by his favorite name. And if they do, they often, in the depths of their souls, think about it, worry about it, they themselves whip up the atmosphere.

In fact, all this is a kind of superstition. The clergy explain that names are given in honor of saints, and not in honor of relatives. And all our fears about this are akin to superstition. And, by the way, the more a person believes in superstition, the less faith he has.

Short name

There are many very beautiful names for adults. But there are either no abbreviations for them, or they are not very harmonious. Many briefly call the child by another name. For example, Vasilisa is called Asya. My friend named her daughter Constance. This is a very beautiful name, the beauty from the film about the Musketeers immediately comes to mind. But they couldn’t find a good multiple name, they call it full. Other acquaintances wanted to name their daughter Agnia, but they were afraid that other children would call her “Gnyusha” and “Nit”. They did not want to deliver additional stress to the child on their own behalf. As a result, they abandoned this name.

Thinking about the list of names for the future baby, imagine how you will affectionately call him, what his friends in the yard and at school will call him, how he will get acquainted and introduce himself.

First name, patronymic and last name

An important criterion when choosing a name for a child is its consonance, first of all, with a patronymic. After all, when the child grows up, he will no longer be Dasha, but Daria Sergeevna, not Dima, but Dmitry Ivanovich.

It happens that the patronymic is not simple and it is not so easy to find a harmonious combination for the patronymic. Many give up and still call the chosen name. Here everyone decides for himself, but it is better if an adult does not shudder from his own combination of “first name and patronymic” or prefers to be called only by his last name: “Ivanova”.

The general rule for euphony: if the middle name is complex, difficult to pronounce, then it goes better with a simple “musical” name, which softens the whole “composition”, balances it. For example, complex patronymics include Igorevich (na), Ogovich (vna), Konstantinovich (vna), etc. These patronymics can balance the names Elena, Olga, Polina, Ilya, Sergey. In principle, any names are suitable for simpler and “softer” pronunciation names, but, on the contrary, some originality is brought in by names that are not easy to pronounce, brighter than a patronymic. For example, Leah Stepanovna, Rimma Vasilievna, Andrey Petrovich.

Not long before grandchildren

When calling a boy a difficult name, remember that later it will become a patronymic.

Many publications offer fairly large lists of names. Think about how the name will bring joy to your child and be loved, so that he will thank his parents for it! Even taking into account all the proposed recommendations, there will definitely be a name that you personally like, even if you decide to become parents of many children.
