The name is chosen according to a variety of criteria, the child is called:

There are cases when the child himself chooses what name he will have. For example, responding to a certain name with movements and pushes. Sometimes the name of the child is chosen, focusing on the season.

In the times of Ancient Rus', certain events influenced the choice of the name of the child - Thunderstorm, Dawn, the attitude of parents towards the child - Zabava, Lyubava, Zhdana, Joy, as well as the desire of parents to endow their daughter with certain qualities - Bogumila, Lyudmila, Dobroslava, Vsemil, Radosvet.

Even after the spread of Christianity in Rus', for a long time, along with the church name received by him at baptism, the relatives gave the child a second name - Old Slavonic, believing that it would help protect the baby from troubles and illnesses.

There was a custom to protect frequently ill or weak children - parents would take a child out of the hut with sentences that we were taking away a child with a certain name, and bringing another child into the house, who was already called by a different, new name.

According to the Prayer Book, parents tried to pick up not only the most significant names according to the saint, but also choose the most beautiful names for girls. The day on which the saint is honored, whose name the girl is named, will become the day of her Angel. Angel Day does not always coincide with the baby's birthday. The Saints contain over 1700 names of various saints, both female and male.

When choosing a name for a baby from the Prayer Book, you need to remember:

Rare and beautiful Russian names

Turning to the origins, you can remember Russian names, beautiful and old, and choose an unusual name for a girl. They are old and have a history.

Each of them stores a letter code with meaning:

• Bozhena;
• Olympics;
• Veroslav;
• August;
• Zlatislav;
• Ariadne;
• Lubomir;
• Neonilla;
• Pelagia;
• Praskovya;
• Stanislav;
• Kaleria.

Unusual international names

There are many beautiful female names that sound almost the same in all languages. These names are international: Adeline, Alexandra, Anna, Adriana, Agatha, Agnes, Amalia, Diana, Evangelina, Isabella, Ilona, ​​Clara, Liana, Linda, Laura, Marianne, Mia, Roxanne, Sabrina, Stella, Evelina, Ella.

When choosing a name, you must also look at how it will be combined with the surname and patronymic

The list is, of course, not complete. There are still a lot of options. When choosing a name for your daughter from the list of international ones, you should think about its combination with the surname and patronymic. For example, combinations like Stepanova Adriana Petrovna do not sound very harmonious.

How better not to name a girl?

The name of the daughter must first of all correspond to the nationality and religion. Calling a Russian girl, for example, a Muslim name would be strange.

It is important that it fits the surname and patronymic. It is better to choose a short name for a long surname and patronymic. For example, Ikonnikova Kira Stanislavovna is easier to pronounce than Ikonnikova Alexandra Stanislavovna.

The future woman will have to bear the name all her life. Perhaps the daughter will become a teacher, educator or director of a large company, and she will often be called by her first name and patronymic. The task of parents is to make sure that the sound does not hurt the ear and is not difficult to pronounce.

It is good when there is a full and abbreviated form of the name. Parents will definitely want to call the child affectionately, therefore, before giving a name, they come up with diminutive forms for him.
