How to name the child he was born. Names for children: recommendations for choosing. We call the baby according to the saints

From year to year, the number of people who want to change their name in the passport is growing. Nina, Valya, Galya, Tolya, Vasya, Lenya - these names were at the peak of popularity decades ago, but now they are associated only with grandparents - so to speak, with the older generation.

The fashion for names changes no less than the fashion for clothes, cars and accessories. The letters in the passport tend to become obsolete, succumb to oblivion and even acquire a negative connotation.

Before World War II, the name Adolf, for example, was very popular in Germany. Now only a madman would name his child after the German dictator.

There have been positive examples in history. After Gagarin's flight into space, the name Yura became the first in popularity - that was the name of boys throughout the USSR.

Children were often given names based on events in the country and in society. But while some parents name their babies after famous musicians or actors, others prefer timeless classics.

What remains a classic in 2018 and what forgotten names break into the top of the most popular again? Let's find out right now.

Correct landmarks

For about 10 years, Alexander, Artem and Maxim have been leading among the classic male names. Things are not so stable for girls, but Anastasia, Anna and Maria almost always top the list of the most popular female names.

What do parents pay attention to when choosing a name for their beloved child?

1) Sound

The name should be easy to pronounce and pleasant to the ear. Parents do not want to break the language and forget how exactly the name of their baby is spelled.

2) Meaning

Alexander is a defender, Artem is unharmed, Anna is graceful, Anastasia is reborn. Mom and dad want to put something positive in the name of the child, because the mentioned options are so popular.

3) Reputation

The more popular the name, the more difficult it is to influence its reputation. For every bad and evil Vladimir there is a kind and sympathetic one, for every greedy and cruel Olga there is a pleasant and wise one.

Less popular names are more susceptible to the influence of their "representatives." However, remember the mentioned example of Adolf, who forever gave a negative connotation to his name.

Choosing a popular name is reliability. Neither the change of the political system, nor the war, nor anything else is capable of discrediting the most famous and widespread names.

Fashion for retro and following the culture

The new is the well-forgotten old. Almost everything outdated and forgotten sooner or later returns again with a hint of elitism. Including names.

Arkhip, Agnia, Demid, Ustinya - these names are quite unusual, but we are also familiar with them. Many celebrities, wanting to stand out and not follow the crowd, have chosen these for their children over the past few years.

The names of ancient philosophers and historical figures, biblical characters are returning to fashion. Plato, David, Adam, Eve are especially popular.

Of course, the most daring decision on the part of parents will be to turn to pop culture for inspiration, not to classics and history.

Modern society has put books on the shelves and plunged headlong into the series, which is reflected in the appearance of children with rather unusual names.

Most of all, the series "Game of Thrones" stands out, which made a real sensation in the west. But while the United States and Europe are announcing the mass appearance of John boys and Daenerys or Khaleesi girls, the name Arya has especially taken root in the countries of the former CIS.

Right choice

The choice of the name of the child will always be yours. Do it wisely and prudently. It has a huge impact on a person's life, especially if we turn to esotericism and the subtle facets of this world.

But be that as it may, you are responsible for how your child will be called, what nickname they can give him at school, and what reaction he will have when pronouncing the most important word in his life - his name.

Everyone treats the choice of a name very responsibly, because it is not for nothing that there is a saying: "As you call it, so it will float." Many parents, when choosing a name for their baby, undertake to look for a decoding of names in books or, some choose a name so that it is consonant with the patronymic and surname.

Fashion for names

There are parents who call their children only fashionable names. And there is nothing strange here, because the fashion for names has always existed. Each generation has a certain group of names that were more common than others.

It is best to choose a couple of names before the birth of the child, because after the birth you will have a lot of pleasant troubles, and you need to register the name within a month.

So, for example, among the names of our grandmothers we often met - Zoya, Raisa, Lida, Claudia. In the 1960s and 70s, Lyudmila, Nadezhna, Natalya, Nina and Galina were fashionable names. In 1980-1990 - Tatyana, Anna, Katerina and Irina.

There are also names that are relevant in any generation. Women's: Olga, Maria, Elena. Men's: Alexander, Andrey, Alexey, Sergey.

They often call their own in honor of a church holiday. And in a period when faith was ridiculed, people named their children after someone or after some event. A clear example of this is the names Dazdraperma - long live the first of May, or Vladlen - Vladimir Lenin.

The most popular names of 2013.

Women's names. Nowadays, such female names have become the most fashionable: Sophia, Elizabeth, Solomiya, Yesenia, Kira, Arina, Anastasia, Karina, Barbara, Emilia, Vasilisa, Natasha.

Male names. Among male names, the most common are: Artem, Cyril, Daniel, Timofey, Gleb, David, Svyatoslav, Rostislav.

In 2013, the most famous female name is Anastasia, and the male name is Alexander.

Nevertheless, before calling your child a “fashionable” name, you should think: “Do you want 4 more girls from the sandbox to turn to you when you called your girl Nastya.”

It is not recommended to call your children the names of deceased relatives, it is believed that the newborn will live out the fate of this person.

But choosing a very rare name, which few people have heard at all, is also not worth it. After all, your baby may not be very comfortable living with that name. It is best to look at what the name means before choosing a name. After all, each name carries some specific character traits. And, perhaps, choosing a name, you kind of choose the fate for your child.

Help with choosing a name for the son and daughter of an Azerbaijani father (the family lives in Russia). Of the female names, I more or less like Elvira, Elsa. All sorts of Amins and Irads already seem too "national". With male names in general a fiasco. The only thing that comes to mind is Ruslan and Emil, but they absolutely do not like them.

I’ve been looking for so long, but I haven’t come across a beautiful rare name for a boy. For girls, there are many rare and melodic names, but for a boy, everything from the category: Dormidon ... that is, either ridiculous or funny, but there are no beautifully melodic ones, except for Elisha. And probably Elisha is no longer such a rarity.

Help me remember men's names...+10-10 Which in an affectionate form would end in - SHA. For example, Anton-Antosha, Kirill-Kiryusha...

We were preparing for Evdokia, but the ultrasound showed a boy. And something zilch with names. I suggested Clement (s) - my husband doesn’t like it, the husband of Sevastyan or Saveliy - I don’t like reductions. Both of us are not against Stanislav))) BUT there is an eldest son Vladislav. Therefore, Stas seems to me - this is when it’s completely bad with fantasy. I would like a beautiful long name, but so that even when abbreviated it sounds "like a man." We consider Athanasius, but Afonya is confused. Send ideas plz

tell me what to name the boy .... we are completely exhausted. It should be by November, we want something original, and that would practically not decrease. The daughter's name is Ariel, which means the lion of God, she is Leo according to the horoscope, and Ar from Arkady and El from Ella, our names ... Grandmothers in the yard said "... like washing powder ..." and this is in the center of the cultural capital of the joint venture -b Help me find something as original, can have any roots and that would be universal (both in Russia and around the world)

And let's remember what names our celebrities (actors, musicians) give their children. Then we will make a general list in alphabetical order. If anyone remembers the approximate year of the child's birth, please indicate in brackets. I just came across similar lists on Western "named" sites, so I'm curious, what kind of statistics will we get :-)

Here we are expecting a baby ... I don’t know the gender yet, but thoughts are already coming up about the name ... I am Russian, and our dad is a Tatar, we live with his family. There is an older son, a Tatar name. So I want to name the youngest child not by a national name, but in such a way that the Tatars are not rejected. For a girl, I would like Zoya (like my beloved grandmother) or Leah (in the calendar there is it, therefore Orthodox) .. but about the boy, an ambush ... Ruslan likes the option, because I'm Lyudmila :)))

I always wanted to name my son Yegor. But when they stared with a child from the hospital, my husband dissuaded me, referring to the huge number of children with that name. In double we had Makar. So they called it - Makarka. And, by the way, this name suits him very well. But when we chose the names, it did not seem rare to me. But in 7 months we met only one Makar. Do you know little Makarov?

Hello everyone, we are waiting for a boy, my husband is a Tatar and he really wants his son to have a Tatar name ... In general, I don’t mind, but I want the name to be familiar to my ears and to those around me (I don’t want those around and The children asked for their names 10 times. As an example, the name Rustam is familiar, normal, but that's the name of her husband :)). Who has what options?

At the age of 9, when I went to ballroom dancing, there was a boy named Neil in the group. How is it for you? Terribly rare. It seems to me somehow unfinished, like an abbreviation of the name.

What is the name of my future son? I am a Jew, but I want my son's name to be closer to Russian traditions. How to find a compromise?

When choosing a name for a second or third child, parents are sometimes puzzled even more than when they are waiting for their first child. Indeed, many mothers and fathers want to find names for their children that sound beautiful individually and together carry a special meaning.

The task for parents expecting twins is a little easier: you can immediately choose two names with a common idea. Or one idea with two names - like a bright pair of booties!

How to choose names for siblings

Before moving on to specific pairs of names, we want to draw your attention to the following nuances when choosing them:

A combination with a patronymic. Even if you have found the perfect pair of names that carry a special meaning for your family, take your time. Remember that the time will inevitably come when your little ones Misha and Masha will become Mikhail and Maria. Over the years, the roles of a sister or brother will fade into the background, but an adult child will probably hear a combination of a name and patronymic many times a day.

Surname combination. This is especially true for boys. For example, if you have a surname Borisov, then the option for the twins Boris and Gleb will no longer suit you. At least, the son of Boris in the future may not be grateful for such a choice.

Origin. Do not combine Slavic names with foreign ones. For example, such couples as Martha and Aphrodite, Matvey and Daniel will sound comical.

Paired names. Needless to say, such pairs as, for example, Alexander and Alexandra, Evgeny and Evgenia, Julius and Julia, should be avoided as names for sister and brother?

Even if you consider such options original for yourself, it is still worth considering whether it will be convenient for you to call them by their full names or if you have to come up with additional short versions.

"r" sound. Although this is not a common case, it is still worth mentioning. If one of the close relatives does not pronounce the sound "p", try to choose those names that do not have this letter.

Names for brothers

Names for sons can be chosen in several ways. Everything will depend on what you prioritize - sound combination, tradition or originality.

Consonant names

Most likely, you will have to decide what is more important - consonance full names or abbreviations. If you prefer full names in the family, then couples such as

Timofey - Matvey;

Yaroslav - Svyatoslav - Vyacheslav;

Prokhor - Zakhar;

Arseny - Artemy;

Proud - Timothy;

Alexey - Elisha;

Egor - Makar;

Timur - Arthur;

Konstantin - Valentine.

Most moms and dads name their babies short names. They rhyme well here, for example,

Sasha - Pasha (Alexander and Pavel);

Vitya - Mitya (Victor and Dmitry);

Ilyusha - Kiryusha (Ilya and Kirill);

Vanya - Danya (Ivan and Danila).

And, of course, you can find names that are consonant in both full and short versions. For example, Alexey and Sergey (Alyosha - Seryozha).

From literature and history

Suitable names for sons can be borrowed from goodies - fictional or real. Bogatyrs are the main characters of Russian epics. Remember the picture of V.M. Vasnetsov with three heroes? In fact, there were many more:

Svyatogor, Dobrynya, Mikula, Ilya, Mikhail, Alexei, Nikita, Bova, Volga, Danube, Vasily.

Another simple pair of names, while claiming to be an original combination, is Misha and Leo - popular characters in children's fairy tales. At least for a children's party, they can justifiably put on the masks of a bear cub and a lion.

If you are not against foreign names, then twin boys can be named after the legendary brothers - the founders of Rome - Romulus and Remus.

Fans of history and Slavic names can refer, for example, to the list of Russian princes and choose the ones they like the most from it.

For example, Svyatoslav, Igor, Oleg, Vladimir, Izyaslav, Vsevolod, Vseslav, Rostislav, Mikhail, Yaroslav, Ivan, Vasily, Yuri and so on.

You should be more careful with some names, as they obviously carry a certain amount of negativity, for example, Svyatopolk (known to history as the Cursed).

The following pairs of names are well suited for twin boys:

Boris and Gleb (Russian brothers-princes who became revered saints),

Roman and David (the names of Boris and Gleb in holy baptism),

Cyril and Methodius (brothers who created the Old Slavonic alphabet and became saints),

Peter and Paul (venerated saints, apostles),

Cosmas and Damian (siblings, miracle workers).

If you want to name your sons in honor of the saints, but do not know who to give preference to, try to find the answer in the Saints.

church calendar

A long tradition is to choose a name for a newborn according to the church calendar (Saints). If you are expecting twin sons, open the Orthodox name day calendar and study the dates on which babies can be born. As a rule, there are several names for boys every day.

If you chose a name for your eldest son according to the church calendar, then you can find a name for your youngest according to the same principle. Of course, they may not be so consonant, but it will become your family tradition.

In honor of grandfathers

If the eldest son was named after the father of one of the parents, then the birth of another boy can be a compliment for the second no less beloved grandfather. At least it's fair. In the case of twins - double the joy at once.

There is a belief that one should not name a child after relatives.

The question is very controversial, because this tradition successfully wanders from one generation to another. But if you are a superstitious person, then it is better to skip this paragraph.
And of course, this option will not work for you if the grandfathers have the same names.

Consonant names

Among the full consonant names for sisters there are such euphonious combinations as

Karina - Marina - Irina - Polina - Arina - Albina - Darina - Alina;

Miroslav - Vladislav - Yaroslav;

Zlata - Agatha;

Alice - Vasilisa;

Zhanna - Anna;

Ulyana - Marianna;

Alevtina - Antonina - Christina - Angelina - Evangelina.

Fans of unusual names and combinations may like

Melania - Stephanie;

Zita - Gita;

Evelina - Elina;

Bogdana - Dana;

Angelina - Adeline;

Agnia - Agnes;

Inessa - Agnes;

Vasilisa - Vassa.

If you would like to name daughters brief names, pay attention to these consonant options:

Anya - Tanya (Anna and Tatiana),

Valya - Varya (Valentina and Varvara),

Vika - Nika (Victoria and Veronica),

Julia - Ulya (Julia and Uliana),

Tasya - Asya (Taisiya and Asya),

Ladushka - Zlatushka (Lada and Zlata),

Sasha - Masha (Alexandra and Maria).

This also includes the mirror pair of names Anya - Yana.

Do not forget that names can be equivalent in terms of their sound strength and length. For example, Antonina and Alexandra, Zlata and Eva, Zlata and Lada, Ekaterina and Victoria, Emma and Martha.

From literature and history

Among the literary names for the sisters, the most euphonious are: Olga and Tatiana (sisters Larina from "Eugene Onegin" by A.S. Pushkin); Olga, Masha and Irina (sisters from "Three Sisters" by A.P. Chekhov). Or the famous girlfriends from the Soviet cartoon - Vera and Anfisa.

And since children (and especially girls) are flowers, there are names for the “bouquet” - Rose and Margarita. Sisters Vera, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia are early Christian saints (2nd century AD), after whom more than one generation of girls was named.

Sofia is one of the most popular names that modern parents give their babies. But the names of the three sisters are not so common, although they are considered classics.

For twin girls, you can choose the two you like best.

Barbara - Catherine and Barbara - Elizabeth (Elisaveta) are considered to be well-matched names for sisters - these saints are often depicted together on icons.

church calendar

Names for girls, as well as for boys, can be chosen according to the church calendar (Saints). However, there are some difficulties here - there are significantly more male names in the Orthodox calendar than female ones. And if you have twin girls, it will be problematic to find two whole female names. But you can try to find female "analogues" of male names, for example, Victor - Victoria, Apollinary - Polina.

But for daughters born on different dates, it will be much easier to pick up female names in the Saints. In any case, you can also find female variants of the male names mentioned above.

In honor of grandmothers

The sisters have two grandmothers for two, so you can give the newborn twin girls their names. And if the eldest daughter was named after one of the grandmothers, then it is quite logical if the youngest gets the name of the second beloved grandmother. Your mother's name is Olga Nikolaevna, and your mother-in-law/mother-in-law is Olga Timofeevna? Well, then this option is definitely not for you.

When a person is called, for him it is the most pleasant sound. To make it happen with your baby, you need to take this task responsibly. Everything in this world is named, the essence itself is formed around the name. Therefore, it is impossible to deny the great influence of a few specific letters on the self-perception and worldview of a person.

Some argue that the name can even change fate. If you approach the matter not with such fatalistic views, the question still remains, how to choose the right name for the boy.

Indeed, in ancient times people were called, both in honor of heroes and gods, and in words with an impartial meaning that could express belonging to a particular genus or type of activity.

Now parents are used to relying on sound or fashion. But it is especially important not to make a mistake when using Old Slavonic names. Because the true meaning can be very different from what is commonly understood now by this word.

Choosing a name for a child boy: approaches

There are several methods for making a decision in this case. Sometimes even a whole family council gathers. To come to a consensus, you need to understand what strategy you will follow. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

A man is the head and successor of the family. But all the foundations are laid in childhood. Even the character begins to form from the name. The baby hears it even in the womb, if it is chosen in advance. A person will never forget or confuse this name with some other. Remember when at an early age bullies wanted to offend, they changed names. Because there is nothing more personal, undividedly belonging to the future man. Therefore, before sorting through the options in your head, pay attention to these key points:

• Think about the future. The name of the boy in the future should become a harmonious patronymic for his children.

• Don't make fun of the kids. Funny, self-invented or borrowed names from the series are not the best way to express your love. Since the baby will simply be bullied at school or in kindergarten. Thus, you seek to express your individuality, but the child will suffer from this, who will become uncomfortable in society. This brings particular inconvenience in childhood, when the direct guys say everything they think, or in youth - the time of the first loves and romantic experiences.

• Don't name after your father. The continuity of generations is a plus, but not in this case. According to psychologists, due to the coincidence in sound, it is more difficult for a boy to identify himself as a separate person. He begins to feel like a shadow of his father, which leads to depression, neurosis, loss of a sense of his originality.

Remember that there is no wrong choice, because everything is unique and largely determined by taste. The name can be considered a gift from parents to a child. It is the very first and most important, so that the little person will later fully appreciate all its value, take these rules into account.

Traditionally

Conservative families are very reluctant to change the established way of life. Therefore, they are reluctant to experiment. But if you are in doubt about how best to name a baby boy in an unusual or familiar way. This technique has its advantages, because if a child wants to know the history of his name, he will understand that the choice has deep roots. So baby:

• perceives the experience of generations;

• learns to appreciate and respect their past;

• represents the fate and life of his relatives;

• keeps important facts about his family and passes them on to his children.

To make the stories more visual, pick up a family photo album. Such a family book will pass through the years if it has a strong body. The Russian House of Genealogy will help with this.

Heraldry specialists will be able to design a family coat of arms and place it on the cover of a family book or album. The history of the life of relatives, the intricacies of their destinies will come to life before the eyes of the baby.

Flipping through the pages, he will study these facts against the backdrop of the developments in the country's past. Thus, a person learns to fit his life into the general context, thanks to which a responsible and honest family man, a patriot of his Motherland and a conscientious specialist is brought up. People of this type of character are highly valued in society. And the beginning of a brilliant path begins with a name.

According to the church calendar

Previously, there was no question of how to name the child, since there was a codified name. This collection showed how to name a boy according to the church calendar. Until now, many believers believe this approach is the only true one. By naming a child in honor of an archangel or a saint, one can hope for good health and a happy life for a toddler. Some are confused by the archaic sound of these options, others think that the possibilities in this regard are rather limited.

But the list for each month is very large. Moreover, it is not necessary to call it the way it was pronounced several centuries ago. John is replaced by Ivan, Alexy by Alexei. But you can be absolutely sure that none of the names carries negative meanings.

Many meanings are associated with God, so if you believe that the name can become a talisman and protection for a boy, you will not find a better option.

So the beautiful name Jeremiah (transformed into Eremey-Yerema-Yermiy) is understood as "exalted by God." Also, when a child is baptized, there will be no difficulties: a worldly name will not need to be translated into a church one.

Sometimes help comes from an unexpected direction and you may hear the right option in a conversation with a friend or colleagues. But it is better to choose what name it is better to call a newly born boy in a close family circle. After all, only relatives can take into account such important points as:

• Nationality. There are interethnic marriages, then the husband and wife need to use all their diplomatic abilities. But, if both of you have eastern roots, or vice versa, are primordially Russian, then it is better not to conflict with national traditions. Otherwise, the name of the child will be in sharp contrast with his appearance, lifestyle and traditions.

• Place of residence. In a big city, where there is a high level of agglomeration and people of different views, religions, and origins live in the same territory, unusual names are not so surprising. But if in a small town or settlement you name a young city dweller Alfred or Marseille, this will arouse great interest.

• Diminutive forms. You must consider the possibility of transforming the name. When you want to express your tenderness and call the child in a different way, it should not be too difficult to pronounce or hurt your ear.

These rules will help not to make a mistake with the choice even to close people, and will also affect the avoidance of disputes.

By harmony

In everyday communication, we pay special attention to sound. Therefore, when deciding which name to choose for a boy, say it several times, change it, decline it. Pay attention to how it is perceived by ear in combination with the surname and, most importantly, with the patronymic. There are a few rules to help you decide:

• Uniformity. The name should reflect the traditions of naming one nation. Since not only does Thomas Ivanovich or Bruce Pavlovich sound ridiculous, but the foreign names themselves do not have the opportunity to become a patronymic later. Combinations Evgeny Dzhekovich or Semyon Dzhonovich are incorrect and not allowed.

• The length of the components. Combinations acquire special beauty if the name is short, and the patronymic has a long duration, and also if they consist of approximately the same number of letters. For example: Miron Pavlovich, Igor Stepanovich, Lev Nikolaevich, Yuri Alexandrovich.

• End-beginning. Pay attention to the juncture of words. The best option is if the first of them ends in a vowel, and the next one begins with a consonant: Danila Timofeevich, Nikita Romanovich. The reverse combination is also acceptable: Semyon Alekseevich, Artem Igorevich. Consider also alliteration: the name should be melodious, melodic. Avoid rough, grinding sounds and similar combinations (gr, mx, skr).

This moment is very important, because when the young man grows up and becomes a man, subordinates, unfamiliar and officials will address him in this way.

By time of year

If you do not take into account astrology, but take into account the natural cycles of nature, then each season affects the character and psychophysical characteristics in the development of the baby. How beautiful to name an already born boy according to the seasonal calendar?

• Winter. A strong and decisive character is guaranteed for a small man. It is in the first months that hardening for the future life takes place. For fearless frost fighters, such names as Pavel, Alexei, Semyon, Valentin, Stepan, Arseny, Elisha, Luka are suitable. Such melodic options will help soften the stubborn disposition.

• Spring. Nature itself disposes to lyrics and it is not by chance that future poets, directors, actors and musicians are born at this time. Be able to consider the subtle mental organization of the first-born, but for a happy journey, award one of these names: Rodion, Nathan, Timur, Ruslan, Bogdan, Vlas, Valery.

• Summer. Bright, lively personalities. The energy in them boils and calm names will not be to their liking, they will feel like they are in someone else's clothes. Take a closer look at these options: Lev, Gleb, Gordey, Vladislav, Trofim, Rostislav, Makar, Igor, Naum.

• Autumn. Such people are most prone to analysis, reflection. They make sensitive, talented psychologists. Therefore, the name should reflect all the dignity of this person: Dmitry, David, Mikhail, Oleg, Prokhor, Roman.

Having picked up the right combination, walk around with this thought. Simulate life situations, imagine whether the boy will be comfortable if you name him that way.

List of beautiful names

The process of selecting combinations is quite complicated, so do not try to solve everything at once. Write down the options you like the most, get distracted, then return to them again. So you should eliminate more assumptions. To decide what to name a child, find a ready-made list of beautiful names for boys. This could be a church calendar, an alphabetical index, or a personalized list.

Please note that the fashion for foreign or fictitious names is a thing of the past. Now more and more people are turning their attention to family and national traditions. In order to have something to rely on, it is necessary now to think about their preservation. The Russian House of Genealogy will make durable and exquisite family books, where significant family talismans will be collected - photos, movie tickets from the first trip together with the baby, the first drawings of the young painter.

To make it easy and happy for the baby to go through life, pay attention to the forgotten, but beautiful names:

• Arkady, Adrian, Athanasius;

• Boris, Boyan;

• Veniamin, Vladlen, Vsevolod;

• German, Gordey, Gabriel;

• Demid, Demyan;

• Efim, Evstigney;

• Ignat, Ilya;

• Konstantin, Kuzma, Cornelius;

• Lubomir, Leonid, Lukyan;

• Martin, Matthew, Mark.

Once you have decided, look at the value. It will either confirm your choice, or make you think more.

As a conclusion

What name you can call the boy is up to you, but you should not ignore simple rules that will facilitate this process and save you from disappointments later. Remember that the baby must go through all the stages with complete comfort and self-love - from the cradle to old age.
