The modern Russian name book includes Russian names that are currently used on the territory of Russia.

In addition to the original Russian names in Russian nomenclature included Hebrew, Greek, Roman (Latin), Scandinavian and Persian names, who have adapted on the territory of Russia and have long been perceived as Russian.

Most of the Russian names that are currently used on the territory of Russia are not originally Russian by origin. They are borrowed from Greek along with christian religion and came to Russia from Byzantium.

By the 18th and 19th centuries Old Russian names were almost completely forgotten, and brought christian names were changed taking into account the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation (Aquilina - Akulina, Yuliania - Ulyana, Artemy - Artyom, Daniil - Danila, Jeremiah - Yeremey).

Russian modern male names. Modern Russian name book

Immediately after future mom learns the sex of the child, the question arises of what name to call him. The choice of male names is endless, each has its own charm. But how to guess which one will suit the future boy?

Many women know the names that they will call their children even in childhood. However, such a choice is considered not entirely correct - after all, at the time of choosing the name, the baby did not yet exist and did not take part. Now, when he is in his mother's stomach, feels all her sensations, knows all her thoughts, he has the right to take part in choosing the name that he will have to wear all his life. But it is known that each name has its own meaning, and it affects the life of the unborn child. Someone else's name, like someone else's dress, will not suit the baby and will make him suffer all his life.

How to choose a name for a boy

So you need to choose a name only together. The simplest and most pleasant option would be the following: the expectant mother sits back, takes out the entire list of male names that she likes, and begins to read it slowly and legibly. The kid will definitely let you know if he likes something. The message to mom will come in the form of a push. On which name there will be a push, then you can choose.

If the first attempt failed to interest the baby, then you can expand the list and continue to read it out. If the boy persists and remains silent, it will be possible to choose after his birth. Sometimes a single glance is enough for a mother to understand who lies in front of her.

The list below contains the most beautiful male names. Perhaps among them there is one that your boy will wear.

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.

For Muslim culture the same meaning is characteristic 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 better fate.

Muslim traditions abound in 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 in the territory Russian Empire Muslims had a common practice of using two names. 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 him. 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.

Naming the baby Oscar, Azat, Mikel or Radislav, parents give him not the power to defend his beliefs, but 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.
