Often in a family where a male child is expected, one of the most difficult problems is choosing a name. Nowadays names for boys are being chosen both with a slightly “foreign” sound and traditional Russian ones. But in any case, the choice must 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 family line and protect the family clan, it is important that in the future it becomes the basis for a good, harmonious patronymic for grandchildren.
• Rare, strange, funny, meaningless names for boys are negatively perceived by society. For example, the name of the hero of a favorite TV series can become an object of ridicule for a child at school and kindergarten.
• Psychologists do not advise naming a child after the father. In addition to the everyday inconvenience of a coincidence, this may be the cause of nervous disorders 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 who male children are often named after:

• A relative. This could 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 a good idea for superstitious parents. So it was popular among the people that in this case, the newborn, on a subconscious level, will copy all the character traits and fate of the deceased.

The child can be named after a man - an obstetrician who successfully delivered the child, or any other person who once gave a helping hand and played a vital role in the fate of the father or mother of the unborn child. In any case, the decision must be balanced, agreed upon by both father and mother.

Seasons

The time of year when the birth of a child is planned affects the fate and character of the newborn.

Let's look at the names of boys born in different seasons:

• Winter. Arseny, Mikhail, Pavel, Alexey, Semyon, Valentin. Soft and calm names are necessary to compensate for the stubborn, strong, strong-willed nature of winter men.
• Spring. More solid-sounding ones are suitable here, because spring children rarely have a lively character. So that the future 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 time of year need sonorous names that compete for attention: Nikolai, Sergei, Peter, Felix, German, Kirill.

Last name and patronymic

Parents looking over names for a boy need to think about the euphony of the name in combination with the child’s patronymic and surname. Consonants play an important role. These may be predominant voiced or voiceless consonants. The name must contain the same consonants as in the patronymic or surname. For example, Ivanov Matvey Semenovich (predominance of noisy consonants) or Andreev Viktor Borisovich (hard consonants).

This combination is considered pleasant to hear and pronounce, and also makes communication with the owner easy and convenient. Many people believe 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. Every new year is rich in an abundance of popular male names.

Which ones 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, Klement, Zakhar. In an effort to pay tribute to fashion, it is important not to overdo it and not name the boy too funny, difficult or strange.

According to the church calendar

A little time has passed since the time when all children were named according to their name days in the church calendar. Such a number suggested to parents male names for their 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 number has a limited number of names that might appeal to modern spouses.

According to the value

Each name, translated from various ancient languages, has a special characteristic and meaning. When choosing a name for a boy, parents often want to invest certain qualities in the future heir:

• Andrey is courageous.
• Boris is a struggling man.
• Leo – intelligence and foresight.
• Nikita is a victor. An excellent choice for the future athlete.
• Roman is a favorite of women.
• Peter – independence, conviction.
• Sergei is an ideal father and husband.
• Tikhon is a lucky man.
• Konstantin – constancy.

Valery, Vitaly are those names that personify health and fortitude. Anton is a competitive person who struggles with difficulties. This is what they advise to call weak or premature children, so that the magic of the name gives the boys vitality and improves health.

Important points

Boys' names can be beautiful, short, ancient, double, foreign.

But, among other things, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• Nationality. Many families where spouses are representatives of different nationalities have difficulty choosing what to name their child. Here it is important to think about this in advance, find a compromise and take into account the nationality of the future baby. This will help avoid further marital disagreements and resentments.
• Diminutive form of a name. This form should not be annoying, cause irony, or be too difficult to pronounce.
• Place of residence. Prim, sophisticated, rare names for boys are inappropriate in small villages with a predominance of traditional views on life. Marcel, Alfred, Antonio, Emmanuel will be more harmoniously perceived by the society of megacities.

• September. There is never a dull moment with the men of this month. They always have a lot of ideas in stock, without conflict. Andrey, Fadey, Zakhar, Kirill, Khariton, Valery, Pimen, Arkady.

• October. Gambling, enterprising nature. They take everything from life. Oleg, David, Vlad, Mark, Grigory, Nikita, Ignat, Demyan.
• November. Dreamy and romantic representatives of this month are rarely correctly understood by those around them. November boys' names: Ivan, Artem, Victor, Orest, Yuri, Osip, Taras, Nestor, Philip.
• December. Inside these men there is an ocean of passions, but their ardent nature is hidden under a mask of cold indifference. They trust others little. Zakhar, Roman, Mikhail, Maxim, Lev, Pavel, Spiridon, Semyon, Filaret, Modest.

So, the choice of what to name a 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

There were so many good things in the old days: clean air, clean waters, environmentally friendly products. And most people had pure souls. People lived by their labor and knew what love was. There were a lot of good things in those old days - things that people have forgotten now.

For example, there were a lot of good names. Names that gave people the qualities of kindness, hard work, wisdom, generosity. These are exactly the qualities that people lack nowadays.

Maybe someone will think about this and name their child an old, long-forgotten name.

Even 100-200 years ago, the following male names were actively used, were in use, and were well perceived by ear. Now they are forgotten.

Everyone knows that life develops in a spiral. People forget something, then discover the same thing, but in a new way. Maybe someday it will work out that way with long-forgotten, old, good names.

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 mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We do not engage in healing or 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 written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, 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 times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander 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 and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness. Therefore, please be careful!

As soon as a child is born, new parents become interested in his height and weight. The second most popular question: “What was the name?” Why is it so important for people to know a name? Because it defines a person who he is from a psychological point of view.

Choosing a name by month of birth

To give the world's best name for a boy, some parents associate it with the month of birth. Some of the rare and famous male names are May and Augustine (as in the song by Valery Leontyev). Sonorous and original, they at the same time speak of softness and nobility. If you don’t want the name to directly indicate when your son was born, then there is a special directory of names by month and birthday.

It may happen that the name you like turns out to be very far from the date of birth of the heir. This should not be an obstacle to making a choice.

If you look back into the past, then in those days the best Russian names for boys were very melodic in sound and intricate in pronunciation. For example, Eremey, Leonty, Micah, Julian, Rostislav, Sevastian, Maximilian, Gury. Believing parents most often check the date of birth with the calendar, and also pay attention to which saint is the patron saint on this day. It is popularly believed that he can become an intercessor for a newborn boy throughout his life.

Consonance with surname and patronymic

An important fact that deserves special attention: how the first and middle names will sound, and even more important - with the last name together. Since great hopes are placed on the boy, he is seen as an heir, a future support - everything together should sound respectable and businesslike. After all, many parents see their growing son as a big boss and owner of his own life, a successor.

For this reason, the best name for a boy in terms of meaning and sound should immediately speak to those around him, whose son he is. In our modern life, you can find various variations and even summary tables, according to which you are asked to choose a suitable pair: first name and patronymic. The main thing in this matter is that the combination is not funny and absurd, but harmonious. You should also definitely not look for a name that ends with the same letter as your middle name. It would be best if the first name and patronymic do not begin with the same consonant or vowel. An example would be: Alexander Mikhailovich, Pavel Anatolyevich, Roman Pavlovich.

Name by zodiac sign

Knowing the month of birth, parents can determine the choice of the best name for a boy according to the meaning of the zodiac sign. Based on the characteristics and descriptions of personal qualities, suitable options are selected using a horoscope. It is believed that the weaknesses of the zodiac patron can be balanced with the help of the meaning of the name, since a person gains more confidence in his strengths and significance when he hears it when contacted.

Astrologers can also advise paying attention to a combination with several suitable zodiac signs, if none of those considered suited a particular child. In any case, the determining factor will be personal sympathy for a particular name.

Choice by character

Every parent wants to see their child as the embodiment of strength of spirit and character. Therefore, for a boy, he is selected based on the characteristics that he would like to see in him. Some of the most popular requirements for the character of the heir are the presence of masculinity, fortitude, dexterity and luck. Modern mothers and fathers attach special importance to the consonance of the name, the presence of strong consonants in it, which (by their definition) should also speak about the strength of the inner personality of the growing heir.

Another point that determines that the chosen name is the best for a boy is that it must be positive. So, according to some, we can say that the son will develop not only a strong side, but also a soft side, prone to sympathy, love and empathy. To determine how well the chosen name fits these parameters, it is enough to simply pronounce it in a diminutive form: Andrey-Andryushenka, Dmitry-Dimulya, Lev-Levushka.

The rarest name

Recently, parents have been trying to distinguish their child from his peers, believing that the best name in the world for boys should be rare, unusual and sonorous. In pursuit of originality, many forget about how a child with a rare name will have to go through life in the future. Moreover, it is worth thinking about what middle name his child will receive in the future. In modern Russian multinational society, children with rare names are habitually treated. It seems that nothing can surprise anyone anymore. For example, Gleb, Plato, Miron, Tikhon, Innocent, Veniamin, Zakhar, Luke.

Parents often borrow foreign names for their children, which are rare among us. A rare name for a child may be borrowed from representatives of another nationality.

Choosing a name based on your religion

In the multinational Russian country, people of different religions and faiths coexist peacefully. This also leaves its mark on the choice of name. It is considered rare in such families to name a child with a simple Russian name. If you need to choose the best name for a Muslim boy, then parents often pay attention to its meaning. For example, a very soft but strong meaning means “chosen,” Selim means “healthy,” Shakur means “grateful.” According to the saying of Muhammad, the name must be good, since after death the soul is determined by what the person was named at birth.

It is considered a good sign to name your son after angels or prophets, for example, Ibrahim, Yasin, Ahmad and others. They are called upon to protect the child and patronize him in all endeavors and affairs. However, you should not blindly believe that a name can predetermine fate and influence a person. The meaning of even the best Muslim name for a boy may not coincide with his actions in the future. This is already influenced by upbringing, environment and the presence of certain lifestyle principles that come with time. Therefore, it will be possible to determine how good a name will be for its owner only after a while.

Name after someone

It happens that the best name for a boy is borrowed from his grandfather or father. Alexander Alexandrovich, Nikolai Nikolaevich, Mikhail Mikhailovich often meet. In this way, some perpetuated the memory of a deceased person. On the one hand, this is very touching, on the other hand, it is necessary to think about the fact that there is a theory about the transition of a departed soul to a newborn child through a name. And there is confirmation of this, noting the actions and words of the child as he grows up, parents can notice the habits of a relative who once passed away.

The main thing in this case is that this person leads a positive lifestyle, is distinguished by noble deeds and good deeds. However, no one can predict in advance how the name of a relative will affect the boy in his future life. Time will tell.

Most popular name (regardless of year)

Trying to choose the best name for a boy, parents are ready to study a lot of literature, ask for advice from all their friends and relatives, or, on the contrary, decide without consulting anyone. In any case, they prepare thoroughly for such an important event, for example, they study the statistics of the most popular ones and choose one. From year to year, the most used are: Maxim, Alexander, Nikita, Daniil, Kirill, Artem, Egor, Andrey, Roman, Sergey, Alexey, Denis, Ilya, Ivan.

Among the rare names you can find a lot of good and very sonorous ones. At the same time, they will not hurt your ears or serve as a subject of ridicule from your peers. These include the following names: Leo, Georg, Damian, Evsey, Julian, Daniel, Oscar, Ruslan, Adam.

If there are two sons

When choosing the best name for boys (for example, if twins or twins were born), the mother can not be tormented between two different ones. This is undoubtedly a plus, but you should not make them very similar to each other or double in meaning. It is advisable to choose those that have similar endings, letters or complement each other. For example, these could be such combinations as Mikhail and Daniil, Nikolai and Alexey, Vyacheslav and Yaroslav, Roman and Ivan.

There is one option when parents ask children who are still in the womb about their preferred choice in terms of the best name for boys. When communicating with them, you can try asking which name they like best. Some pregnant women note that their children communicated their preference to them through abdominal kicks. It is worth noting that many future parents use this method, and it finds a positive response in a certain environment.

Double name

Double names borrowed from foreigners began to be found in Russia. We are not talking about families of other nationalities. In this way, parents with Russian roots want to highlight their child. More and more it began to look like a tribute to fashion, especially among those who strive to be like show business stars. As for the child himself, in particular a growing boy, it can be noted that such children grow up to be somewhat self-centered. From an early age they are instilled with special significance (usually for merits that the child has yet to acquire).

Few people know why foreigners name their children this way. One of the versions is as follows: when the child grows up, he will choose the name he likes. In Russian society, female paired names are more common. It is difficult to imagine a boy who will then give his name to a child in the form of a double patronymic. And the process of pronouncing such a name is quite complicated, so it is extremely rarely used in Russia.

Most popular

To be on trend, parents can give their son one of the popular names of the year. You can even ask the employees of the local registry office for such a list. It is also proposed to use this method of analysis when searching for an answer to the question of what is the best name for a boy that can be chosen so that it does not appear too often. From year to year, one can trace a certain consistency in terms of the popularity of the following male names: Andrei, Artem, Denis, Evgeniy, Maxim, Mikhail, Pavel, Nikolai, Kirill.

Borrowed from abroad

In large cities and cities with a population of over a million, you can meet a large number of not only visiting foreigners, but also local residents who give their newborn boys foreign names. Most often, this occurs in couples where one of the parents is of a different nationality, religion or language. These include any name that sounds unusual to Russian ears: Arnold, David, Mark, Rudolf, Caesar, Edmond, Michael, Damian and others. They are rare and speak about the foreign roots of the parents. The most extreme case that justifies parents who decide to give such a name is the desire to highlight the child and make him more noticeable.

By time of year

There is another way to choose a name while the parents have not decided and are searching - according to the season when he is due to be born. There are four of them in total, and they are usually distinguished by personality characteristics. Starting from the very first, winter, we can give a brief description of the boy’s future personality: he is strong-willed and purposeful, possessing good health and hard work. Therefore, the name must be appropriate: Valery, Egor, Yuri, Dmitry, Victor, Damir, Vadim, Sergey, Oleg, Platon.

Next comes spring. And this is a warmer character, sociable, reasonable. Boys born at this time of year should have a meaning in their name that defines them as cautious and non-conflicting. Suitable ones would be Nikita, Ivan, Philip, Alexey, Boris, German, Danil, Kuzma, Rostislav, Ilya.

The summer season is associated with names that speak of generosity, friendliness, and openness. Therefore, the best options may be such as Vasily, Kirill, Makar, Nikolai, Miron, Arseny, Roman, Anton, Yulian. And the year ends with the autumn season, which speaks of the presence of such traits as family, honesty, caring, logic, and intelligence. Suitable names for boys: Evgeny, Peter, Artem, Ruslan, Matvey, Bogdan, Fedor, Rinat.

For many men, the birth of a son is the most important event in life. The boy will continue the family line and will bear his father’s surname. Since ancient times, the choice of a name for a boy was approached with special attention. After all, he had to grow up to be a brave, dexterous man, capable of protecting his family. Therefore, the name should help form positive character traits.

First of all, when choosing a name for a boy, you need to remember that someday he himself will become a father. Therefore, it is necessary to choose one that creates a beautiful and easy-to-pronounce middle name. Some parents prefer to give their children names that are rare or atypical for our nationality. Before using your imagination in this area, you should think about your future grandchildren - how difficult will it be to choose a name for a boy by patronymic: Dzhonovich, Vetrovich, Angelovna or Karlosovna?

How to choose a name for a boy by patronymic

Before you give your child a name, think about how it will fit with the middle name. Question: “What to call a boy by his patronymic?” - is important, since it can also influence the child’s character.

You should not name your child after a date or event, or with unrealistic names, for example, Google or Quark. You should also be careful when naming your child after close relatives. The child can inherit the character and destiny of this person. And this can also cause the degeneration of your family.

Many psychologists do not recommend naming boys after their fathers. Firstly, it is not always euphonious and easy to pronounce. For example, Alexander Alexandrovich is often called San Sanych. Nikolai Nikolaevich may be nicknamed Kolya Kolya, which, quite possibly, will not please the bearer of the name. Psychologists also say that boys named after their father often grow up unbalanced, capricious, nervous and irritable. However, this is not important. After all, how a child grows up depends only to a very small extent on the name. As they say, it is not the name that makes the man, but the man who makes the name.

It is not recommended to call a boy with a male-female name if the peculiarity of the surname does not allow one to determine his gender. For example, the combination of the first and last name Sasha Cherny raises no doubt that it belongs to a man. The same applies to options such as Valya Ivanov, Zhenya Nekrasov, Valera Rochev. But in combinations with inflexible surnames, such as Sasha Mitchell, Valya Katz, Zhenya Markevich, gender is not expressed. Boys are often confused by this and, upon becoming adults, they often change their name or, upon getting married, take their spouse’s surname.

It is worth remembering that boys often give each other nicknames, often quite offensive. Even if the team in which the child will be raised and studied turns out to be very friendly and united, the appearance of nicknames is quite possible, especially if the boy’s name is conducive to this. Parents need to make sure that various diminutive versions of the name they like do not carry a negative meaning and will not be understood ambiguously.

It is worth familiarizing yourself with the etymology and meaning of the name. It may have a meaning that we are not even aware of, and the origin of the name may be very surprising. For example, many believe that the name Bogdan is Christian, since it literally means “given by God.” But there is also an opinion that Bogdan is a pagan name, and God, imprinted in the name, has nothing to do with Jesus. Also, many are sure that such traditional names for Russians as Maria and Ivan are originally Russian, but, in fact, these are names with Jewish roots.

When thinking about how to choose the right name for a boy, you should give preference to the option in which it is possible to use both an adult - official - form and a soft - children's one. Psychologists recommend calling a rude and stern boy only by diminutive names. This will make his character softer. For example, Maxim can be Maksik, Masik, Masya, Maksimushka. Alexey - Lyoshey, Lyoshka, Lenechka. If the child, on the contrary, is too timid, shy, soft and weak, it is better to use a tougher, more masculine form of the name. In this case, Maxim should be called Max, and Alexey should be called Lyokha or simply Alexey.

Proper selection of a name for a boy will help develop certain qualities in the child. Firm, tough male names contribute to the formation of a strong and stubborn character in a boy. Examples of such names: Dmitry, Igor, Grigory, Egor, Gleb, Bogdan, Georgy. In these names, voiced paired consonants predominate, often in combination with the sound “r”.

People with soft names are distinguished by a calm and flexible character - among them are Mikhail, Alexey, Ilya, Vitaly, Miroslav, Veniamin, etc. In such names, vowels and sonorants “r, l, m, n, th” predominate, especially “l”. Neutral names are worn by balanced and moderately persistent people. Such names can be considered those that cannot be unambiguously classified as either hard or soft. For example, Roman, Andrey, Pavel, Arkady.

Perhaps the phonetic structure of the word is of great importance, but many psychologists recommend paying attention to the set of associations that the boy’s name carries. It is not denied that a name can influence the development of a child’s personality, but this becomes possible not due to the sound of the name, but due to the associations that it evokes.

If someone is asked to draw up a psychological portrait of a complete stranger based only on his name, then there is no doubt that the task will be completed. This means that we have some kind of association associated with each of the names, often not even consciously aware.

Thus, Russians associate the name Alexander with great people, so they (Alexanders) are often attributed a lot of positive qualities. Vladimir is assessed by the majority as a powerful, cunning, thoughtful, firm and strong person. This may be due to the easy-to-read meaning of the name, “possessing the world.” Many people associate Michael with a bear, so the corresponding qualities are attributed to him - immobility, clumsiness, conservatism, simplicity, hard work.

It is the associative perception of a name, as psychologists say, that ultimately influences character and destiny - after all, the development of his personality largely depends on how a person perceives himself and how others see him. Thus, parents can ask relatives and friends to draw a verbal psychological portrait of a person with a particular name. If, overall, the portrait turns out to be very nice, then the right name for the boy has been found! And when your heart tells you, you don’t have to go through the options anymore.

How to name a boy according to the calendar

If you are interested in how to name a boy according to the calendar, look at the child’s birthday. On each day of the church year, as a rule, the memory of several saints is celebrated. It is also permissible to choose a name among those who are mentioned on the eighth day from birth, since it was on this day that in ancient times they gave a name, because the number eight symbolizes eternity. If the names from the church calendar for the first and eighth days do not suit you, then look at the 40th day from birth. It is on this day that the child is brought to church to perform the sacrament of Holy Baptism, and a cleansing prayer is read to the mother, after which she can return to church life again, begin confession and communion.

Nowadays, the child’s name is usually chosen by the parents and very rarely changed at baptism. For example, the boy Helius received the canonical name Herman at baptism. However, the revival of the church, the state’s attention to it, its recognition of religious holidays, people’s turn to national history, the history of their family, restored interest in church names. I would like to know not only when to celebrate name days, but also in honor of what saint we were named, so that we can turn to him in difficult times.

How to name a boy according to numerology

You can find out how to name a boy by date of birth. According to this science, each number carries a certain meaning and can influence a person’s destiny. Thus, the number “one” symbolizes the ability to go towards a goal and aggression, two – balance, three – the connection between the past and the future, four – stability and prudence, “five” – uncertainty, impermanence, but at the same time the ability to feel the fullness of being , “six” is stability, “seven” is mystical nature, “eight” is success and material well-being, “nine” is wealth and fame.

To find out how to correctly name a boy by date of birth using the science of numerology, you need to calculate the number that will correspond to the child’s birthday. And after that, you need to see what number corresponds to the chosen name for the baby - after all, the ratio of the numbers of the birthday and the name has a great influence on the fate of a person. If it suddenly turns out that the number of the name is greater than the number of the birthday, then the child may grow up ambitious, but if on the contrary, he will begin to indulge his weaknesses and inclinations. When the number of the birthday corresponds to the number of the name, then the child’s fate will be easy and his character will be harmonious. This situation can equally mitigate the unfavorable number or the unfavorable influence of the child’s name on his destiny. But some numerologists are inclined to believe that the person’s character in this case will not be too bright, so choosing a name for a child is not as simple a task as it might seem at first glance.

Alexey, born in spring, is capable of deep feelings, but does not dare to express them. “Autumn” Alexey is more confident in himself.

Choosing a name for a baby is an extremely important and responsible matter, because the future character of the baby and even his fate largely depend on it. There are different names for boys, and we will try to figure it out together which one is right for your little one.

Scientists have long established that with the help of a name one can correct negative character traits, or, conversely, aggravate them. By naming your baby incorrectly, you can direct his life into a tragic scenario. How to avoid all these mistakes and make the right and informed choice - read the article.

There are many theories regarding exactly how a person’s name and fate are connected, and how a name can influence life. I bring to your attention the most interesting and worthy of attention.

• The theory of public opinion.

We all live in society, surrounded by people who have thoughts and opinions about anything. These opinions tend to vary depending on the country, social group and even time.

Hearing a person’s name, society is able to endow him with certain character traits in advance, as well as form an opinion about him in advance. If a person is constantly ascribed certain qualities throughout his life, they become truly inherent to him, whether he wants it or not.

For example, towards a boy named Nero (Roman emperor, known for his atrocities) or Adolf (everyone knows who the association is with, right), people’s attitude will be deliberately wary, wary and even hostile. And to a boy named Vanya - good-natured and disposed, like a positive hero of folk tales. When addressing Isaac, people will assume in advance his Jewish origins, and will treat the child knowingly based on their prejudices.

• Theory of emotions and sound.

A child hears his name several times a day from birth. As he gets older, he will hear it more and more often. Each name is a set of certain sounds of different timbres and pitches.

All sounds have different effects on the human brain, causing certain emotions. Some sound melodious and euphonious, contributing to the formation of a calm and gentle character, for example, Nikolai, Alexey, Mikhail.

Others, on the contrary, seem to be drumming on the brain: Dmitry, Robert, Taras. This is a prerequisite for the formation of a tough character and unshakable self-confidence.

Thus, each name is capable of influencing the fate of a child, shaping certain character qualities in him.

How to choose a name

Of course, there are no and cannot be universal recommendations regarding what name to name your baby. However, there are universal rules that you can follow to narrow down your choice among thousands of names, and ultimately make the only right decision.

• Rule No. 1. The name must be combined with the child’s surname and patronymic.

A person will hear such combinations quite often throughout his life: in kindergarten and school it is customary to address students by their first and last names. And in adult life, at work, a person most often hears him being called by his first name and patronymic.

Thus, these combinations should be pronounced without difficulty and should not cause difficulties for the speaker. Otherwise, the child will constantly tense internally in anticipation that his name will once again be distorted.

What difficulties may there be in pronunciation:

1. many consonants at the junction of first name and last name, first name and patronymic. For example, the unsuccessful combination is Kanziberg Grigory or Alexander Dmitrievich; Kanziberg Oleg or Anton Dmitrievich sounds more successful.
2. combinations that are too long, for example, Innokenty Aleksandrovich Zagrebelny is unsuccessful, Ivan Aleksandrovich Zagrebelny sounds successful.

• Rule No. 2. The name must be combined with the child’s nationality and citizenship.

The name should not be dissonant with the surname and patronymic based on nationality and affiliation with a particular country. So, Ivanov Tamerlan, Vasiliev Teimuraz or Smirnov John, Popov Daniel sound very strange.

• Rule No. 3. The name must have diminutives.

Cradling a little baby in your arms, you want to call him, for example, Levushka, and not Lev, Sashenka, and not Alexander, Dimochka, and not Dmitry.

And this is natural; throughout our lives it helps us convey the full range of emotions when communicating with a person.

What not to call a boy

• Bad idea No. 1. Name it after a relative who died a violent death or suffered a difficult fate.

No matter how good your intentions are, no matter how good and worthy a person the deceased was, and no matter how skeptic you may be, pay attention to the following.

Scientists have noticed a pattern according to which children named after relatives who died tragically often have an unfortunate fate and difficulty defining themselves in life.

How to explain this phenomenon - psycho-emotional connections, ancestral energy or mysticism - everyone decides for himself. You may not believe in such matters, but is it worth risking your baby's future when there are so many other beautiful names to choose from?

• Bad idea #2: Give it a creepily original but strange and unpronounceable name.

It seems to you that this is fresh and unusual, but a child with his own name can live: go to a children's group, build a career and personal life. I’m not sure that in the future a person named Appolinarius, Evgrafiy, Dormedont, Callistratus, Polycarpius, etc. will thank you.

In kindergarten and school, children with such names always endure ridicule, withdraw into themselves, become embittered and unsociable. Why does the baby need such tests out of the blue?

• Bad Idea #3: Naming it after a historical event or political figure.

We all know such male names as Vladilen (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Kim (Communist Youth International), Lyublen (Love Lenin), Stalen (Stalin, Lenin). At the time of the revolution, they seemed trendy and relevant.

However, time has passed, ideals have changed, famous historical events and personalities are condemned, and everything is no longer so rosy, fun and easy. And people who were named in a certain way remain attached to images of past years and events throughout their lives.

It is much easier when a person is responsible only for himself and his actions than for some historical figures whose actions he has nothing to do with, but is forced to associate with them.

Names for boys by month according to the church calendar

Believers know that every person comes into this world for a reason and is born in a particular month for a reason. The date of birth of a baby means a lot, in particular, the heavens assign a newborn a protector from above, a saint, a guardian angel who will protect him throughout his life.

Our ancestors did not invent anything unnecessary, and when choosing a name for a newborn, they turned to the calendar - the church calendar with the names of saints.

Nowadays, the tradition of the calendar has been simplified, and it is quite acceptable to use calendars by month, when each month of the year corresponds to several names of saints, from which you can choose the one you like.

The church calendar with Orthodox names by month according to the calendar looks like this.

Beautiful Russian names

Traditional Russian male names are associated with masculinity and strength of character.

With such a name, the boy will certainly grow up comfortably, and his peers will easily remember the baby’s name. A beautiful Russian name goes well with Russian surnames and is not capable of causing unnecessary associations.

As a rule, Russian names for boys are of Greek or Roman origin, which is due to the historically early contacts of Ancient Rus' with Byzantium.

Popular modern names for boys

Rare and beautiful

In recent years, there has been a particularly acute tendency to choose an unusual, rare and beautiful name for a child. Young mothers want their baby to be exceptional and special from birth because of his name.

Let's take a closer look at unusual, rare and beautiful names for boys.

Old Russian

Such names pose a certain danger for the baby, and we have already talked about it. Nowadays, Old Russian names for boys sound too extravagant.

Children are cruel creatures, and a baby with an unusual name may be subject to ridicule and attacks from his peers in kindergarten and school, which will make him withdrawn and unsociable.

Therefore, I urge you to think very carefully and weigh the pros and cons of giving your baby an old Russian colorful name in order to amuse your pride and show everyone that you have imagination. I am convinced that there are many other ways to manifest it without making it difficult for the child throughout his life.

However, we will list the currently popular Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic names for boys, and also analyze what they mean:

Bronislav – defending glory;

Vseslav - famous, famous;

Dobromil - kind, dear;

Milorad – sweet, joyful;

Miroslav - glorifying the world;

Svyatopolk - at the head of the sacred army;

Yaropolk - at the head of the solar army;

Kuzma - organizes the world;

Thomas is a twin;

Foka - from the sea;

Lazarus is the one who was helped by God;

Fedot - long-awaited;

Potap - from another country;

Nazar – dedicated himself to God;

Luka – light;

Laurel is the name of the tree.

Rules for choosing a name by season

According to psychological theory, people born at the same time of year have similar character traits, temperament and personality traits. In addition, such people have similar positive and negative qualities.

Knowing this, you can correct and strengthen weak points in your character, as well as soften and neutralize the influence of undesirable strong properties.

For example, boys born in the summer are united by good nature and an easy disposition. However, there is a downside: they are capricious, emotionally unstable and have a weak character. To add firmness and perseverance to the personality, it is recommended to call such babies with sonorous names, for example, Dmitry, German, Kirill. It’s a bad idea to give your baby a gentle and soft name, such as Mikhail, Nikolai, Savely.

On the contrary, winter boys demonstrate an excess of stubbornness, rebellion and determination. To balance the character, it is reasonable to balance such qualities with a soft melodic name, such as Ilya, Elisha, Maxim. It will not work, and will only worsen the situation, if you name the winter baby Grigory, Victor, Peter.

Spring creates kind, calm and sympathetic, but soft-bodied and spineless boys. If nothing is done, these people can grow up to be mama's boys and henpecked people. Therefore, one cannot do without a firm and tough name, for example, Alexander, Boris. Leonidas and Moses won't do at all.

Autumn pleases us with balanced, harmonious personalities, so such a child can be called whatever your heart desires; nothing needs to be adjusted here.
