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 are rare and beautiful names for boys.

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 and 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 not grow up loving son and assistant, but 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 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 was popular (in honor of the launch of the first space rocket), Dazdraperma (in honor of May Day).

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 children born in different time years, completely different options are suitable.

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, so that energy level avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.

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.

    Choosing a name for the child

    Before you start browsing all the famous names, you should first start from your personal preferences. None negative emotions associated with one name or another. Even if the proposed option came from a loved one, try to explain to him why you do not want to dwell on it.

    To choose a beautiful, harmonious, and most importantly, memorable name, you must:

    1. Consult with close relatives whom you trust. Perhaps they can help you make such a difficult but responsible decision.
    2. Replenish your stock of church and Old Russian names. And suddenly, among some forgotten name, you will see the perfect option for your baby.
    3. Try on the name for the surname and patronymic. This is especially true for foreign names, which in last years are wildly popular. Agree that Jackson Nikolayevich or Michael Ivanov will sound slightly comical. In addition, do not forget that sooner or later your son will become a dad and then he will have to puzzle over a name that was in harmony with the patronymic.
    4. Delete from the list the names of close relatives who recently died not by their own death, were often ill or led an immoral lifestyle.

    It is highly undesirable to name a child after his father. Some old-timers claim that in this way we make rivals out of these two native people. Psychics assure that children named after their parent take only the worst features from him.

    Although the last statement can be disputed, because history knows many talented and outstanding personalities with the same name and patronymic, for example, Alexander Alexandrovich Blok.
