After the birth of a child or even before birth, the parents face the question of how to name the baby. With the help of a beautiful name, mothers and fathers seek to direct the child's life on the path of good luck and prosperity, designate his personality and preserve certain family traditions.

How to choose a beautiful name for a newborn boy?

Harmony and prudence are the main principles that should be followed when naming a newborn. A correctly chosen name should be combined with a patronymic and surname, not be overly pretentious and difficult to pronounce.

The baby should be named according to cultural and religious traditions. For example, it is better not to call a Russian boy Said or Domenik, which may cause ridicule in the future.

Before naming a boy, you should familiarize yourself with a few rules:

1. Maintaining individuality. You should not name the baby in honor of the father, other close relatives or great figures. Giving preference to such names, mom and dad often have high hopes for their son, which he will not always be able to justify. In the future, this often leads to conflicts between parents and the child.
2. Preference for "male" names. Naming the baby Zhenya, Sasha, Valya, you can provoke mockery of the boy in the future. Together with an indeclinable surname, such a naming can cause strangers to take him for a girl.
3. Respect for tradition. Despite the mixing of cultures and world integration, you should not call the baby a name from another tradition, which will be out of harmony with the Russian patronymic and surname.

Fashionable vintage names

In recent years, children have been actively called by old names. This trend is connected with the interest of society in history and native culture. Naming their sons in the old manner, parents tend to turn them to their national roots. Often the name is chosen under the influence of the fashion and mentality prevailing in society.

The most popular old names are:

1. Matthew. Differs in diligence and perseverance, but at the same time isolation. Often chooses a profession that requires concentration and method - surgery, sports, banking. It has natural insecurity, and therefore it is necessary to encourage Matvey's initiative from early childhood so that he succeeds.
2. Zakhar. Despite some severity of sound, this name means a sentimental and good-natured person. He is distinguished by a caring and complaisant character, which largely determines his future profession. He is not attracted to office work. Most often, he connects his life with a technical or agricultural specialty.
3. Vsevolod. Rarely finds himself in unpleasant situations, which is associated with discretion, the ability to nip dangerous moments in the bud with the help of humor and diplomacy. He has the gift of persuasion and the ability to get along with others, for which he is respected by people. Vsevolod is stubborn, firm and diligent, but does not always strive for victory. It can give way to a more worthy, in his opinion, person.
4. Proud. Differs peacefulness and optimism. With outward modesty, he has inner strength and vigor. He is an interesting storyteller and an attentive listener.
5. Luke. Despite the similarity with the verb "dissemble", this name denotes an honest person. Purposefulness of his character is combined with impulsiveness. He thinks carefully about the solution to the problem and perseveres along the path to achieve results. In defending his interests, he can show uncompromising and impulsiveness.

Beautiful Russian names for a child

When parents want to name their son in accordance with Russian tradition, they often mistakenly prefer ancient names that look somewhat pretentious today - Svyatogor, Varlaam, Dobrynya, Ostromir are not very suitable for modern children and are accepted by society for the extravagance of parents. The top 10 Russian names that are most relevant today include:

• Elisha;
• Plato;
• Nicholas;
• Michael;
• Paul;
• Yaroslav;
• Vladislav;
• Denis;
• Dmitriy;

Popular foreign names for boys: English and American

In English-speaking countries, the tradition of naming children by two names is popular: personal and middle. The first is the distinctive name of the baby and is used in everyday life. The second is most often given in honor of a close relative, and in official documents it is indicated between the main name and surname.

If in the post-Soviet environment naming is of Greek, Latin, Old Russian origin, then authentic names are predominantly popular in English culture:

• today in the UK boys are often referred to as Pauls, Davids, Georges, Jacobs, Alans, Marks;
• in the United States, sons are named Richard, William, Noah, Robert, Aaron.

How to choose a beautiful Muslim name?

In Muslim culture, the method of naming children in accordance with ancient documents is especially popular. The wrong choice of a name for a boy can cause him bad luck, poverty, illness, laziness in the future, which pushes his parents to name him in honor of the saints: Muhammad, Abdul, Idris, Kadir, Rahim, etc.

Muslim culture is characterized by the same meaning for several names that differ in sound. For example, Hasan and Elmir mean beauty, while Zabir, Kavi and Ali characterize a strong and powerful person. It is noteworthy that there are no negative names, which explains the desire of parents to provide their children with a better fate.

Muslim traditions are replete with names denoting beauty. You can call the boy Anwar (bright, bright), Jamil (handsome), Dilyair (soulful), Ihsan (merciful), Ramil (magical), Fazil (talented). If parents cannot resolve the issue of naming their son on their own, they can turn to the imam.

Before the revolution, it was common for Muslims to use two names on the territory of the Russian Empire. The child received the first naming as a talisman. To protect the son from the evil eye, this name was hidden from strangers. The second was of less importance and was used in everyday life. In Soviet times, this tradition died out, but today there is a return to it.

Unusual and rare names

Calling sons unusual names, parents tend to endow them with a bright personality. Such children may deviate from public opinion, and sometimes go against it. Wishing to achieve any success despite the influence of external factors, they can only rely on their perseverance and fortitude.

Parents sometimes make the mistake of calling their son a rare name in order to endow him with the qualities of a fighter. If for one part of the boys it becomes an impetus for the formation of a bright personality, with the help of which they achieve success under any circumstances, then for the other it becomes a cause of constant psychological discomfort.

For thoughtful, calm children, a non-standard name is an annoying factor that attracts unnecessary attention. Naming the baby Oscar, Azat, Mikel or Radislav, the parents endow him not with the power to defend his beliefs, but with a source of internal conflict. He is expected to constantly prove his own worth, while he needs solitude for the development of his personality.

A rare name should be combined with the child's surname and patronymic. Combinations such as Petrova Madonna Alekseevna or Kozlov Marcel Ivanovich sound disharmonious.

Naming the baby, they take into account the national and cultural characteristics of the mentality prevailing in society. For example, names such as Arkhip, Bronislav, Borislav, Lavrenty go well with surnames of Slavic origin.

Choosing a name depending on the time of year

When choosing a name, parents are traditionally guided by the month of their son's birth. There is an opinion about the relationship between the seasons and certain character traits of the baby.

It is believed that children born in winter are stubborn and domineering. To mitigate these features, sons are called names containing soft sounds:

• Alexei;
• Leonid;
• Nikita;
• Paul;
• Basil.

Babies born in the spring are distinguished by a romantic and sublime temperament. It is recommended to call them by traditional male names to balance the subtle nature, give them courage and strength:

• Konstantin;
• Stepan;
• Bogdan;
• Egor;
• Sergey.

Children born in summer have a bold and kind-hearted character. To enhance these qualities, it is recommended to choose sonorous names:

• Elizar;
• Philip;
• Denis;
• Yuri;
• Vitaly.

"Autumn" children are often distinguished by distrust and some egocentrism. To give the baby sociability and friendliness, choose simple sonorous names:

• Anton;
• Nazar;
• Jacob;
• Naum;
• Tikhon;
• Semyon.

Rating of the most popular modern names

Today there is a decline in interest in foreign names. Less and less children are called in the old Russian manner. In 2018, boys often began to be called neutral names: Lions, Alexanders, Ivans, Maxims, Romans, Rodions and Kirills. The TOP of popular names also includes Daniil, Vladislav, Gleb and Mark.

The choice of a name is no less important moment in the formation of a child's personality than his further upbringing. In an effort to name their son unusually, parents sometimes forget about correctness and appropriateness in resolving this issue. The task of naming is to designate the individuality of the boy and direct his fate to a prosperous path, and not pretentiousness and expressing the tastes of moms and dads.

The Russian language belongs to the group of Slavic languages. However, many Russian names are not originally Russian by their origin. They are borrowed from the Greek language along with the Christian religion. Before that, Russians had names that reflected the various characteristics and qualities of people, their physical disabilities, names that reflected the birth order of children in the family. There were common names such as Wolf, Cat, Sparrow, Birch, First, Tretyak, Big, Small, Zhdan. The reflection of these names is observed in modern Russian surnames Tretyakov, Nezhdanov, Menshov, etc.

With the introduction of Christianity in Rus', all the old Russian names were gradually supplanted by church names that came to Rus' from Byzantium. Among them, in addition to proper Greek names, were ancient Roman, Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian names, each of which reflected a certain meaning in its native language, but when borrowed it was used only as a proper name, and not as a word denoting something.

By the 18-19 centuries, Old Russian names were already completely forgotten, and Christian names largely changed their appearance, adapting to the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation. So, the name Diomede was transformed into the name Demid, Jeremiah - Yeremey, etc.

After the October Socialist Revolution, names associated with the new ideology became widespread: Revmira (peace revolution), Diamara (dialectical materialism); names reflecting the first stages of industrialization: Electrina, Elevator, Diesel, Ram, (revolution, electrification, mechanization); names read in foreign novels: Alfred, Rudolf, Arnold; names by flower names: Lily, Rose, Astra.

Since the 1930s, such familiar to us Russian names like Masha, Vladimir, Seryozha, i.e. the names closest to the Russian people are used. But this return to the old names does not at all mean a return to all the names of the church calendar, most of which have remained unaccepted by the Russian nation.

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

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 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. Each new year is rich in an abundance of popular male names.

What are relevant in the mid-2010s?

• Benedict,
• Arthur,
• Adam,
• Hermann,
• Walter,
• David,
• Ignat,
• 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 then, when all children were named according to the name day in the 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 improves 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 for 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.

• November. Dreamy and romantic representatives of this month are rarely correctly understood by the environment. Names for the boys of November: Ivan, Artem, Victor, Orest, Yuri, Osip, Taras, Nestor, Philip.
• December. Inside these men is an ocean of passions, but an ardent nature is hidden under a mask of cold indifference. Little trust in others. Zakhar, Roman, Mikhail, Maxim, Leo, Pavel, Spiridon, Semyon, Filaret, Modest.

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.

Forgotten names. Forgotten and rare male names and their meaning

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity. So please be careful! Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid Our official websites are: Love spell and its consequences - www.privorotway.ru Also our blogs:

Hooray! Ultrasound showed who lives under the mother's heart. "Son," you chuckle. “Heir!”, - the future father rejoices. This is the moment when a woman begins to turn to her stomach quite specifically, which means it's time to call the "bubbler". And although it’s not the name that makes a person beautiful, often disputes from the series “Vladlen, Dionysus or Vanya” lead to the fact that the baby remains a “baby” until the very moment the birth certificate is received. It is right in such a situation to gather for a family council. And you need to go there, armed with information about what rare and beautiful names for boys are.

Our ancestors believed that the name determines the fate, the character of a person. For example, when naming their son Lazarus, adults believed that God himself would help him in life. And Fadeev's parents expected that their children would become successful and deserve praise in everything. Protection was expected from Alexei, and courage from Brave.

Name - protection and basis for personal development

In Indian tribes, it was customary to give a person two names. One of them is false. It became public and was determined when growing up, when the child showed any of his special qualities, skills. For example, "Sharp Eye".

And the other was true and secret. It was carefully hidden, especially from strangers. It was believed that the enemy, who learned the secret of your name, would gain power over your fate, life and death.

In Christian families today, during the sacrament of baptism, the child is given a second name, which is recommended not to be advertised in front of outsiders. His clergyman determines according to the church calendar, taking into account the date of birth of the baby and the Orthodox name book. So, the child is called according to the saints. That is, in honor of a certain saint, whose day coincides with the day the child was born or falls on the eighth, fortieth days from birth.

It is said that the name of the ship determines the success of its voyage. Therefore, parents often name the baby, taking into account the possible energy influence of the Universe.

From the point of view of psychology, the name is one of the main indicators of personality. So the child can realize his gender, isolate himself from other people and enter the path of independent development. Even new generations remember their ancestors, focusing on their names.

How to name a son: 5 rules

All talk about the influence of a person's name on his fate can not be taken seriously. But when choosing a beautiful and unusual name for a baby, you still need to take into account certain, quite mundane, nuances. There are five basic rules that you should follow when naming your son.

1. Full name consonance. Agree, the name "Romeo Emelyanovich Sisev" will always attract undue attention to the child. "Gremislav Abdelkhakimovich Eldarkhanov" not even every teacher will pronounce. And Prince Mikhailovich Zhuk, quite likely, having matured, will want to change his name. Therefore, if the family surname is not distinguished by elegance, it is better to find a simple, simple name for the baby. For example, "Vadim Mikhailovich Zhuk" will look much more advantageous.
2. Compatibility with patronymic. There are several recommendations here. First you need to take into account the nationality of the father. For example, if the father is Armenian Gegham, then it is better to name the boy accordingly. Agree, the combination "Avetis Gegamovich" sounds strong in comparison with the combination "Vasily Gegamovich". Another tip: focus on the length of the patronymic. For bulky patronymics, short names are better suited, and vice versa. For example, "Lev Konstantinovich" sounds more melodic than "Innokenty Konstantinovich". Also, do not give the baby a "name" ending with the letter that begins the father's name. For example, "Vadim Maksimovich". Also think about how to avoid the accumulation of vowels and consonants at the junction of the name and patronymic. Since there is a high probability that in a conversation people will involuntarily distort them. An example of a not entirely successful combination: "Peter Vladimirovich." But combinations play well when there are beautiful sound coincidences or names begin with the same letter: “Andrey Alekseevich”, “Elisey Evgenievich”.
3. Correspondence to time and place. No one condemns the love of parents for popular television products, but it is unlikely that Batman or Nolik will feel comfortable in the village of Michurino. Edward and Barak in the Slavic environment will also look special. And Tyrrion or Mason in puberty will not collect autographs, but take bruises home. Therefore, think carefully about your decision before calling the boy too unusual a name.
4. Transformation. Almost all names have derived variations. They are transformed into diminutive forms or into nicknames. And the latter can be offensive. This must be taken into account so that the child is not teased later. Please note that mom will be able to call Maxim "Maksyusha or Masya", and friends - "Max" or "Maksyukha". Gleb is more difficult. Parents will address him: "Glebushka". And peers will immediately twist: “Bread”.
5. Unisex names. Psychologists recommend to parents: "When naming your son, avoid options with a vague sexual reference." For example, these are the names Zhenya or Valya, which are suitable for both girls and boys. This is especially important if the child's surname is not inclined. For example, surnames like "Viligura" or "Katz" do not give an idea of ​​who their bearer is - a guy or a girl. Therefore, "Sasha Shuvalov" is still an acceptable option, but "Sasha Koval" - alas. Such a combination can provoke problems with the child's self-identification, suppress exceptional masculine traits in character.

In Russia, the tradition of naming a child after relatives is preserved. For example, like a great-grandfather. This custom is the subject of debate. Some of the young parents are against him, because they believe that the baby can absorb the negative experience of the ancestors and repeat their fate. And other mothers and fathers insist: naming according to the generic principle is an additional protection.

It is better not to name a son in honor of a relative who was overtaken by a brazen, painful death or who had problems with the law. Psychologists also advise not to take the name of the father. Otherwise, little San Sanych may grow up not as a loving son and helper, but as an irritable and insecure eternal paternal competitor.

In pursuit of fashion: how Icarus and Mason live

Parents want their son to have a rare, energetically strong and fashionable name. But when considering unusual names for boys, it is important not to go too far. Fashion is a changeable thing. It is enough to turn to history. Remember how, based on the events of 1917, the boys were named October, Revo, Vladlen.

During the Soviets, Perkosrak (in honor of the launch of the first space rocket), Dazdraperma (in honor of May Day) were popular.

Later, after the collapse of the USSR, there was a wave of naming children based on TV shows. Registered and Enrique, and Mason, and Cruz, and Rogelio, and Guillermo.

But practice shows that all tricky options after a few years not only lose their relevance, but even look ridiculous. But the names traditional in our culture like Nikolai, Vladimir, Oleg and Alexei always sound worthy.

Today there is a tendency to return to use the Old Slavonic names. And among them there are unusually beautiful names of boys. For example, in 1990, only seven Platons were registered throughout Russia. And in 2015, this male name has already entered the top ten most popular in the country.

What are men called: interesting facts

Male names are divided into soft and hard. In the first case, the boys grow up calm and flexible. In the second - stubborn and strong.

The soft ones include those in which there are many vowels, as well as quiet sonants - d, p, l, m, n. This is Ilya, Benjamin, Michael.

But in hard voiced paired consonants prevail in the company with a growling letter "P". Yegor, Grigory, Dmitry have such names.

There are also neutral options that endow their owner with moderate determination and wisdom. This applies to Arkady, Andrei, Pavel.

Novels are born in February, and Stamps are born in July

If parents can’t come to a common decision on how to name their son, then you can resort to the help of a calendar. Observations of old-timers show that completely different options are suitable for children born at different times of the year.

It is better to name winter boys, choosing from the following list: Roman, Anatoly, Peter, Semyon, Arseny, Ivan.

Spring children are comfortable if their names are Danila, Styopa, Nikita or David. For summer, good options are Sergey, Kostya, Nazar, Mark, Matvey or Pasha.

And the autumn baby will be in harmony with the name Timothy, Herman, Fedor or Anton. There are even special layouts, where options suitable for naming are scheduled by month.

Naming by number and horoscope

Even adults resort to the help of numerology. To do this, the date of birth of the baby is calculated and a name corresponding to this number is selected in the special literature. Also, adults often pay attention to the comparability with the baby's zodiac sign. And they even look at the combination with the names of the parents themselves in order to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings at the energy level.

The most common name on the planet, with more than 300 million men, is Muhammad. In Muslim culture, it is customary to call all the first-born. But in Moscow, according to the Moscow Department of Civil Registry, since 1991, Alexander has been invariably in the lead. In 2015, Muscovites also often registered boys as Maxims, Artems, Mikhails, and Daniels.
