How to choose the right name for the baby?

Previously, the name in Rus' was called "adverb". Since ancient times, this concept has served as a talisman for the baby. At that time, many people firmly believed that if you call the baby the adverb of the Month, then the baby will be happy all his life.

Therefore, the name was chosen from the church calendar based on the date the baby was born.

Today, parents name their children at will. But there are those who want to follow the tradition and name the baby according to the Saints.

But in the church calendar there are days when name days are celebrated only male Saints. In such a situation, parents can choose a name not only based on the date of birth of the crumbs. In Rus', a child was named on the eighth or fortieth day after his birth.

Therefore, if you do not like the names of the Angels on the days when the baby was born, or they are completely absent, you can choose adverbs based on other dates:

• According to ancient tradition it was on the eighth day of the birth of the baby that a celebration was held, where the parents named their heir with a name for life. This tradition appeared during the life of Jesus Christ. According to legend, Jesus Christ was named precisely on the eighth day after his birth.
• You can name the baby on the day of baptism on the fortieth day after his birth. The rite of baptism is ancient Orthodox tradition. During the sacrament, the crumbs are assigned church name which he will wear in heaven.

Important! But the church says that it is worth naming a baby before the sacrament of baptism.

Whether to follow this rule is an individual choice of the parents themselves. At baptism, the baby is given a different name if none of the church ones is pleasant.

A name is something that each of us has, and, as you know, it can affect the fate of a person, his character and personal qualities. That is why it is very important to correctly name your child, especially a girl, because they need to be doubly protected.

From the moment a woman finds out who is in her womb - a boy or a girl, she begins to think about how to name the child. The choice of a name should be given special attention, because the character of the child and his fate partially depend on it.

Before naming a child with a specific name, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:

• Its meaning
• Consonance with patronymic
• Time of year, month and date of birth
• Its originality or unusualness
• Matching with a surname

Influence on the fate of man

In order not to cause discontent among others, you can call a little girl some simple, common name. But you can also choose a rare, beautiful name for your daughter, you just have to be extremely careful, because you can doom the born future woman to suffering. Since today you can call a child a fictitious name, then you, of course, can come up with the name you want, but will it ruin your daughter's life? And can you call her affectionately so that it is beautiful at the same time.

If you want to distinguish yourself and name a newborn girl original name, then the idea, of course, is not at all bad, but you need it to be sonorous and beautiful, and you should also know its meaning and even etymology.

Think not of yourself, but of born child, because then he will live with this name. If you like any character from a movie / book / series, and you want to name your daughter that, then think about whether she would be fine with the name Juanita, Flipot, Donna, etc.

Also, in order to understand what qualities we endow a child with, it is important to know not only the meaning of the name, but also its phonetic components.

For example, names with voiced solid paired consonants (Jeanne), especially in combination with "r" (Gerda), make their owners persistent, persistent and strong in character. But the affectionate names of girls, which contain many vowels or sonorous sounds, endow their carriers with softness and tenderness of character (Maria, Alina).

If you want your born daughter to have stubbornness, strength, strong-willed and strong character, then you should name her " male name", such as: Eugene, Alexandra, Valeria, Bogdana, Yana.

Thinking about what to name the girl, and want to give a name in honor of a relative? Are you sure it's good idea? In no case should a child be named after a tragically or painfully deceased relative. Also, you should not name your daughter in honor of her mother or grandmother, as the girl, as it were, loses her individuality, and more importantly, this will harm their relationship, and it will be difficult for you to affectionately call her. But if the person in whose honor you want to name your daughter somehow helped your family or is just good, but not very close relative, then why not - go for it!

Combination with patronymic

Few know how to call a girl by her patronymic so that the name sounds beautiful. If you cannot decide on a name for your newborn daughter, then choose the most consonant with the middle name. After all, when she grows up, she will be addressed by her first name and patronymic.

Very important harmonious combination by nationality, since Ginger Ivanovna sounds pretty stupid.

It is also not very good if the same letter is at the end of the name and at the beginning of the patronymic, for example: Nina Andreevna.

It must be remembered that the length of the patronymic and the name is also better taken into account, therefore, short names sound good with long patronymics, such as: Daria Viktorovna, Yana Mikhailovna. But if the name and patronymic are the same length (Antonina Pavlovna), then this is also pretty good.

If your daughter's name goes well with the patronymic, then half the work is already done.

It is impossible to determine from two strips on the test who is growing in a woman's tummy - a boy or a girl, so a young family is considering both options: how to name a daughter and a son. A few months pass, and the ultrasound machine shows that a girl will appear. Parents are looking forward to this event with joy, because the little princess will bring a lot of happiness to the house and fill it with comfort and warmth.

Very often, young mothers and fathers delay choosing a name for the child, and the child is born nameless. This problem arises due to prenatal stress: a woman frantically flips through the pages of magazines in search of suitable options, but the results remain unsuccessful.

Star Choice

People in show business love to "shine" on television and the covers of glossy magazines and try to distinguish their children from the rest by giving them unusual names. Musician Sergei Shnurov attracts attention not only with his non-standard behavior on stage and screaming lyrics. The scandalous artist named his son Apollo, modestly declaring that the name was given in honor of the famous poet of the nineteenth century. And there really is no connection with the ancient Greek god of art, they say.

Sergey Zhukov and his wife Regina immediately categorically refused simple Russian names and considered only European ones. The couple is raising daughter Nicole and son Angel, assuring that they made such a choice for a reason: before the birth of their second child, they came across images of an angel everywhere, so they decided to name the boy that way. How to name the girl, the parents did not think for a long time, deciding from childhood to make her the winner, like the ancient Greek goddess Nike.

Nineteen-year-old Lera Kudryavtseva immediately decided what to name her first child. The young mother adored Jean-Claude Van Damme and was sure that her son would grow up to be as handsome as his beloved actor. Former spouse TV personalities, musician of the group "Tender May" Sergey Lenyuk did not mind, but years later Lera changed her mind and suggested that her adult son take a more traditional name, but the guy refused.

Singer Alsou has two daughters - Safina and Mikkela. She and her husband, businessman Yan Abramov, immediately refused to consider common names. Alsou did not think for a long time how to name her daughter beautifully, because the name Safin completely coincides with the singer's maiden name.

But the Russian theater and film actor Viktor Bychkov decided not to follow Western fashion and called his son the Old Slavonic name Dobrynya. It is not known whether the actor connects his choice with one of the three heroes, but he and his wife hope that the child will bring goodness and justice to the world, as the old Russian fellows did.

Why do celebrities change their names?

Think about it, why do some people get all the best things in life, while most of us are content with the minimum benefits? Everything is simple - a riddle in the name: for some, a rare name is a gift, and for others - a curse. People with a bright pseudonym can easily prove themselves in the creative profession - the producers will fall for such a trick and become interested in the talent of a contender for a worthy title. If a woman or a man really has a great voice or external data, but there is nothing memorable in their initials, you will have to think about a bright pseudonym.

Show business stars change their names not only to attract good luck and wealth, but also to attract the attention of fans. So, Anfisa Chekhova used to be Alexandra, Tutta Larsen - Tatyana, Anzhelika Varum - Maria, Valeria - Alla. However, artists do not always look for outrageous pseudonyms and call themselves simply and consonantly, so that fans do not even have suspicions about such a little trick. Alla Ageeva became Masha Rasputina, Elena Levochkina - Alena Apina, Viktor Belan - Dima Bilan, Inessa Klimchuk - Irina Allegrova, and Maria Sadkova decided to be called briefly and simply - Masha Malinovskaya. Preparing to become parents, celebrities carefully reflect on how you can name a girl or a boy. Some try to shield their children from the press and give them simple names. Outrageous mothers draw attention to the child from the first days of his birth, which can sometimes harm the baby up to the evil eye of ill-wishers.

Closer to school age, boys and girls, having seen enough foreign cartoons, begin to protest to their parents. Masha and Dasha want to become Isolde and Teresa, and their sons ask to be named after their favorite superheroes. Psychologists claim that an unusual name can develop a complex in a child and become the subject of ridicule. Pride quickly goes away, and instead children begin to feel alienated. If in the future you are going to have a child, think carefully about what name to call a girl or a boy, and make a choice consciously. Of course, it cannot be argued that one name is bad and the other is good, because in different areas each of them plays a specific role in life. And do not forget about the spirit of the era. Perhaps now the name you have chosen is more relevant than ever, but what will happen in a couple of decades? IN Soviet time some parents were sure that by naming the baby Dazdraperma ("Long live the First of May"), they would raise a hardworking and obedient girl. The boy Spapuzas ("Thanks to Putin for Sochi") will always remember the merits of Vladimir Vladimirovich, however, there is no guarantee that closer to his mature years he will not become an ordinary Vasya or Petya.

What name to choose for a girl so that she is beautiful and happy?

In ancient times, people were very superstitious, which is associated with the belief in evil spirits. The power of the human name was known to our ancestors from time immemorial, so they deliberately named the child twice. This tradition is still traced among modern peoples. In Rus', the name of the child given to him at baptism was hidden, and in some countries, in addition to the main name, the baby was given a second, often not quite consonant, so that dark forces did no harm to the child. Parents thought for a particularly long time about how to name the girl in order to endow the future mistress with certain qualities even at birth. Psychologists and astrologers say that the character and fate of the baby will depend on the chosen name.

Parents often name their children as they please - in honor of their favorite artist, dear relative, or by analogy with some abstract phenomena. So, Svetlana most often has a sunny character and cheerfulness, and Lilies, Roses and Asters adopt the signs of flowers - they are proud, gentle and submissive. Beautiful names for girls (Russian) can often be of non-Slavic origin. It will be easy for Orthodox parents to name their daughter whatever they want, and to endow her with qualities that will be easy to bring up later in the baby. Girls with long unusual names are most often distinguished by a complex character and extraordinary thinking. Others, on the contrary, go through life with a confident step due to their simplicity. And one more nuance. It is important that the name is consonant with the surname and patronymic. By choosing good-sounding initials for your baby, you can be sure that he will delight you with his successes.

What's in your name?

In astrology, each letter or number carries a specific meaning. Often people say that some aspects of the character were transferred to the child from the planet that patronizes him. If you do not know how to choose a name for a girl, refer to the stars and they will tell you the right way. In order to correctly name the child, it is necessary to add up the numbers of the date of birth and, thus, find out the number that will correspond to the planet. If the combination is harmonious, the baby will have a happy fate.

How to choose a name for a girl by patronymic and last name?

Could you pronounce, for example, the following from the first time: Razumovskaya Kapitolina Veniaminovna? Probably not. When choosing a name for your child, try to pay attention not only to the meaning that it carries in itself, but also to the consonance of the components. If the father's name is Athanasius, Voldemar, Mstislav, Emmanuel, it is better to call the girl Aglaya, Bella, Vassa, Dana. When the daughter's father is Gleb, Jan, Yegor, Lev, Klim, respectively, her name should be long and majestic. Consider this factor when combined with a surname.

Do not think too long about how to name a girl - names in their variety can be confusing. Of course, parents dream that the child grows up healthy and happy, so it is important before he is born, at least superficially, to begin to be interested in onomastics. In one of the sections of this science, anthroponymy, you can get acquainted with the origin of the name and learn about other interesting facts.

What is the most common name for girls in Russia

The fashion for names is changeable. At the end of the last century, at the time of the spread of Western films and music in the territory of the former Soviet Union, parents increasingly began to call their children Louise and Alex. Literally a few years later, adults decided to turn to the origins of their state and began to choose other beautiful names for girls - Russian and Ukrainian, such as Praskovya, Vasilisa, Lada. The fair sex wants to hear words of tenderness as often as possible. Having christened your daughter Nastenka, Annushka or Dashenka, you can be sure that she will be pleased to respond to her name, which sounds in a diminutive form.

In Russia in 2014, mothers are increasingly calling their babies Darina, Sophia, Alina, Zlata, Polina and Valeria. Anastasia remains the most popular name - its owners in the future can try themselves in creative professions. If you will become a mother very soon, but still do not know how to choose a name for a girl, wait until the baby is born, take a look at her face, and perhaps it will give you the answer to this question.
