As soon as future parents learn about the upcoming visit of the stork, they begin to come up with a name for their baby. The birth of a little princess is always marked by great joy. But choosing a name sometimes causes problems. Of course, all parents strive to choose the right combination of first and middle names for a girl. Let's talk about this.
How to choose a name for a girl by patronymic: main aspects
Our people have an excellent proverb: “As you name the ship, that’s how it will sail.” Of course, a person cannot be compared to a ship, however, the name given at birth is inextricably linked with our life. If you have decided in advance to name your newborn princess in honor of one of your relatives or your parents really like a certain name, then do not pay attention to the middle name.
In other cases, it is recommended to take into account certain criteria. Names for girls can be chosen according to the church calendar. If your baby’s date of birth coincides with the name day of a person whose name you don’t like, then you should abandon this idea. You can also look through a special catalog or the so-called encyclopedia of names. Based on the characteristics of a particular name, you can choose the one that suits your newborn.
If you still associate the choice of a name for your daughter with her middle name, then follow these rules:
- The first and middle names must belong to different sound groups. If the name has more hard sounds, then the middle name should sound soft, and accordingly, vice versa. For example, Victoria Sergeevna or Angelina Viktorovna.
- The baby’s name and patronymic must be euphonious, and the transition between words must be smooth. Taking this criterion into account, pay attention to the alternation of consonants and vowels. If there is a vowel at the end of the name, then the middle name must begin with a consonant, and vice versa.
- If the patronymic derived from the father’s name is too long, for example, Konstantinovna, Alexandrovna, etc., then it is better to choose a short name for the daughter - Anna, Elena, Asya, Zlata.
- Be sure to take into account nationality; incompatible names and patronymics, for example, Zulfiya Alekseevna or Cleopatra Yuryevna, are unlikely to sound organic and reasonable.
The above aspects are considered the basic rules that must be followed when choosing a maiden name that harmoniously combines with the patronymic.
Do not forget that the name carries energetic and semantic value. Names contain information that can leave an imprint on our destiny. It is not recommended to name born girls after deceased relatives. It is not advisable to choose a name in honor of your mother or sister, since there is an opinion that in this case the little person is already deprived of individuality.
Compatibility of first name and patronymic: how to check?
If you have already chosen a name for your future baby, then checking its euphony and harmonious combination with the middle name is quite simple. Say your first and middle name out loud several times. If they really fit, then you are without special effort you will be able to pronounce the phrase, the letters will not be swallowed, the transition between words will be smooth and melodic.
Today, you can find a lot of information on the Internet about the compatibility of female names and patronymics. If you are in doubt about the correct choice, use a special table. For each patronymic, a list of the most euphonious and harmonious maiden names is given.
What information does a middle name carry?
Before choosing a child's middle name, read its characteristics. As you know, any name has its own origin and characteristics. A number of female names, translated from one language or another, directly interpret the character of a girl. Shouldn't be chosen girl names, the characteristics of which will contrast with the patronymic. According to the description and horoscopes, both the name and patronymic must match and be in harmony with each other.
The name should become a continuation and full complement of the patronymic. If there are negative features in the characteristics of the patronymic, then this should be avoided when choosing a name. For example, if the middle name is characterized by pathological jealousy or power, then these signs should not be in the baby’s name, otherwise, on an invisible energy level, we will automatically square this character trait.
Let's look at the characteristics of the most common derivatives of male patronymic names:
- Alexander - girls with this middle name are characterized by kindness, energy and pride.
- Alexey - representatives of the weak half of humanity who have such a middle name are distinguished by their determination, selflessness and complaisance.
- Andrey, the owner of the patronymic derived from this name, will be a jack of all trades from birth.
- Valery - girls with such a middle name are, as a rule, decisive and independent.
- Vladimir - babies with a patronymic derived from this name are characterized by vanity, but at the same time they are very sociable.
- Vasily - girls with such a Russian patronymic are mostly cunning and hardworking.
- Evgeniy, a patronymic derived from this name, is fraught with the energy of good nature and responsiveness.
- Dmitry - girls with such a middle name are, as a rule, very jealous and stubborn, and are often considered gossips.
- Sergey - girls born with this middle name are very successful in life and talented in all endeavors.
- Yuri - babies with a patronymic derived from this male name are distinguished by their authority, determination and desire to impose their opinions on others.
Most modern parents traditionally struggle with the question of how to choose the right name for their child. Until the beginning of the last century, everything was very simple - a boy or girl was named after a saint whose name day fell on the baby’s birthday. It’s also good that in our country the tradition of giving children names in honor of what the father saw first after receiving the news about the birth of a child has not taken root. The main thing is not to forget about the close connection between the first name and the patronymic.
It is necessary to take into account a number of wishes so that the combination turns out not only beautiful, but also harmonious in psychologically. In addition, in the process important choice now other factors are taken into account: season and month of birth, eastern calendar and numerology, even the theory of sounds.
When choosing a name for a child, you need to make sure that it matches his middle name. Not only the consonance of two adjacent words is taken into account, but also other important factors:
- The optimal result for perception will be obtained by combining long names with short middle names and vice versa. For middle names of medium length, you need to select names of approximately the same size.
- Don’t forget about the baby’s nationality (in in this case, his father). The combinations Ivan Rashidovich and Olga Makhmudovna sound somewhat clumsy.
- Psychologists recommend avoiding one common mistake - giving a child the name of his father. The baby, thanks to his patronymic, already receives several special character traits from his ancestor. Repeating sounds will only strengthen all the negative aspects that are in any name, and there will be nothing to smooth them out.
- A combination in which the name ends with the letter with which the patronymic begins is not very convenient. It is not difficult to name a boy according to this principle (Andrei Romanovich sounds better than Yegor Romanovich). But choosing a name for a girl whose dad’s name is Alexander or Alexei is not so easy. Although, if you wish, you can find a way out (Victoria, Lyubov, Maria).
- Paying due attention to the patronymic, it is necessary to form combinations in which there will be no accumulation of only vowel (or consonant) sounds at the end of the first word and the beginning of another. Options like Aglaya Alekseevna and Petr Dmitrievich are not very convenient to pronounce.
Advice: Psychologists do not recommend giving children names in honor of one of the already deceased relatives or even distant ancestors. Such a connection has a significant impact on the life of a boy or girl, some of them even partially repeat the fate of their ancestors.
- A patronymic, mostly consisting of soft sounds, is more suitable for a hard name and vice versa. Olga Igorevna, Pyotr Alekseevich, Eduard Anatolyevich sound neutral and pleasant. Psychologists say that if you name a girl or boy taking into account at this moment, then their character will not be too firm or overly compliant.
- When thinking about giving a girl a name that belongs to the group of male analogies (Evgenia, Vasilisa), you need to take into account that it is best suited to a soft patronymic. The character of such a baby may turn out to be difficult to live with.
- By analogy with the name for a boy, the baby should not be named after the mother. Women with the same names will have a hard time getting along and finding common language even with different middle names.
If you take the choice of a name for your baby from his patronymic very seriously, you can smooth out many sharp edges that have a significant impact on the formation of his personality.
How to take into account the peculiarities of the baby's birth season?
In general, before naming a baby, it is recommended to consider at least several factors influencing the process of development of human character under the influence of a name. At a minimum, parents should pay attention to at least the season in which the baby was born.
- Winter. The severity inherent in the baby from birth should be at least a little softened. A melodious name, consisting of sounds smoothly transforming into each other, will do this perfectly.
- Spring. Newborns born in the spring months grow into hardy diplomats, capable of adapting to almost any conditions. The only thing these children lack is fighting qualities. Solid and strong name will give little man self-confidence will add resilience to his character.
- Summer. Characteristics“summer” kids – pride, seriousness, perseverance and determination. Their energy charge is quite high level. If you strengthen it a little more with clear and bright name, then such a person simply will not notice obstacles in achieving goals.
- Autumn. People who grow up from babies born in the fall become realists who trust only themselves. They have a clear mind and are prone to frugality. There will be nothing wrong if you call such a child a soft name without sharp edges. Then all the personality traits of a growing person will be balanced.
It is clear that taking into account all of the above factors is sometimes problematic, and the task for parents is not an easy one. But there is enough time before the baby is born to choose the appropriate option from hundreds of possible ones.
Combining the eastern calendar and numerology
For those who want to approach the choice of a name for their boy or girl with full responsibility, a combination of data characteristic of a certain year of birth and a name they like, analyzed according to the principles of numerology, will be a good help. For example, parents are expecting a boy who will be born in the year of the Rat, and plan to name him Victor.
The main features of all Rats: attractive appearance, inner strength, ostentatious calm, thirst for profit and a hidden desire for aggressive actions. If you analyze the name Victor according to the rules of numerology, then it will correspond to the number 7. Underneath it lies a penchant for mysticism, science and religion. It is doubtful that the combination of all of these qualities will have a positive effect on the child.
Information on the qualities characteristic of signs eastern horoscope, can be found without problems. With numerology, everything is also not so complicated. You just need to add up all the numbers that correspond to certain letters:
- 1 – A, I, C, B.
- 2 – B, J, T, Y.
- 3 – B, K, U, b.
- 4 – G, L, F, E.
- 5 – D, M, X, Yu.
- 6 – E, N, C, Z.
- 7 – Yo, O, Ch.
- 8 – F, P, W.
- 9 – Z, R, SH.
After all the additions result in only one digit remaining, you need to familiarize yourself with its meaning:
1 – Aggression, determination, exorbitant ambitions.
2 – Caution and inner balance.
3 – Cheerfulness, a penchant for creative talents.
4 – Persistence and strength of character.
5 – A penchant for adventure, a love of adventure.
6 – Loyalty and reliability.
7 – Love for mysticism, religion, science.
8 – Success in business, high chance of material wealth.
9 – Thirst for power, high chance of popularity and wealth.
Psychologists recommend that everyone use this testing method. By the way, you can also check your middle name, last name, combination of first name and patronymic, all three words. If the same number appears several times, its meaning is multiplied.
Features of sound theory
Today, more and more people are paying attention to the impact sounds have on people. What we hear affects different parts of our brain depending on the quality of the sound. And a person most often hears his own name in his life. Maximum Impact this factor influences the formation of personality in childhood. This is why psychologists do not recommend using diminutive names and nicknames for children.
If a boy with a firm and authoritative name Arthur is called “cat” or “gopher” (and even “Artusya”) before the age of 10 or 15, then he will grow up soft, pliable and compliant. Only when those around him begin to use his name according to all the rules will the person’s personality begin to break down, acquiring the necessary traits. According to experts, such changes in perception own name and lead to the “growing up” of a person.
Of course, if a schoolboy Evgeniy has a rather rigid surname (and in schools children most often hear their surname), then at home it is better to call him Zhenya. In this case, all properties will be balanced, and sharp corners will be smoothed out. Anyone who thinks that naming their child is easy is very mistaken. Of course, if parents are not indifferent to the fate of their child.
We select an option according to the month of birth of the baby
Some parents choose to name their children based on the month they were born. Despite the fact that the same characteristics apply to a boy and a girl with this approach, they can influence the formation of personality in a rather specific way.
- January. These people are distinguished by patience, fortitude, and isolation. If you give them firm names, then positive characteristics will take on a negative connotation. It is better to choose something soft and melodious.
- February. Here, persistence can turn into persistence and even imbalance, so it is better to choose something neutral and calm that does not enhance the basic qualities.
- March. These people are vulnerable, including psychologically. They need additional hardness and the easiest way to achieve this is with the help of a name.
- April. Gives birth to too serious and purposeful people. If you don’t choose a name for such a person that adds a little sensuality to his character, then he will spend his whole life building his career.
- May. Uncompromisingness begins to appear already in early age, their character is distinguished by firmness and perseverance. If you don’t add a little softness to him, then such a person will be too down-to-earth and indifferent to others.
- June. These easily wounded and flighty individuals need to add firmness and a sense of the reality of what is happening. Names in this case should be really solid.
- July. For July babies, choosing a name is the most difficult. It must be simply ideal, neutralizing all the numerous character traits: stubbornness, capriciousness, immunity to criticism.
- August. Active and unyielding, slightly irritable and suspicious, August babies noticeably soften under the influence of a name without the letters “R” and “T”.
- September. Willpower, thriftiness and love for others will manifest themselves even more strongly under the influence of firm, but not heavy names.
- October. If the exaggerated sense of duty is softened with a suitable melodious name, then it will turn into a love for study and the professional field.
- November. These people do not rely on feelings and are prone to depression. You can smooth out sharp corners with the help of a name, which must contain the letter “L”.
- December. Born leaders can turn into tyrants if you give them names that are too powerful. At the same time, you should not choose something very bright, this can lead to hyperactivity and even incontinence.
Choice a suitable name For a child, this is a complex and lengthy, but exciting process. Parents are given the opportunity to independently embed certain character traits into the child’s subconscious, giving him a chance for success, happiness in his personal life and material well-being. The main thing is to remember that everything is good in moderation. If you persistently put pressure on one thing, even the most positive quality, it will definitely turn negative one day.
For all parents who are expecting a baby, the process of choosing a name causes special trepidation. The couple must decide whether to name the child after someone close to them or choose a completely new, but certainly very beautiful name. This is not easy to do, because you need to make a decision at the stage when future parents are still preparing to meet their child and know nothing about his character.
When mom and dad find out the sex of the child, and it turns out that it is a girl, the task becomes even more difficult, because you really want the beautiful daughter not to regret for a second the decision of her parents to name her by one name or another.
With the help of this article you can choose the perfect one Russian name for a girl, based on the middle name that she will bear. The compatibility of the first name with the patronymic is extremely important, because this will make pronouncing the name convenient and the combination pleasant to the ear. And if you believe those who claim that a person’s name predetermines his character and destiny, then the middle name plays a significant role in a girl’s life.
What name should I give a girl after her father's patronymic?
Below we present you a list of Russian names for girls based on their father’s patronymic.
Popular options
Alexandrovna. The patronymic Alexandrovna is ideal for almost any female name and will make it melodic and pleasant.
Just listen: Vera Alexandrovna, Galina Alexandrovna, Lyudmila Alexandrovna, Larisa Alexandrovna.
But soft, airy names are also perfect for such a middle name: Anna Alexandrovna, Yulia Alexandrovna, Elena Alexandrovna.
Alekseevna. If the girl’s dad’s name is Alexey, she is incredibly lucky, because this name is in no way inferior to Alexander in terms of euphony and compatibility.
Just try: Anastasia Alekseevna, Tatyana Alekseevna, Alina Alekseevna, Nina Alekseevna, Ksenia Alekseevna.
You can choose almost any name: Olga, Irina, Lilia, Ulyana, Inga, Veronica, Inna... Any of them will harmonize with this middle name.
Maksimovna. Dad Maxim will give his daughter an interesting and unusual middle name. The male name itself sounds somewhat harsh and firm, and therefore not every female name can successfully coexist with it. But some will still succeed, for example: Alisa Maksimovna, Arina Maksimovna, Tatyana Maksimovna, Marina Maksimovna, Anna Maksimovna.
But if you were thinking about naming your daughter Angelica, Eleanor, Zinaida, Marianna, Evelina, then it is better to refrain: these are difficult combinations in which two beautiful names deprive each other of originality.
Denisovna. Owners of such a beautiful name will have to think carefully about what to name the baby. It is better to opt for simple names so that the combination does not turn out to be too heavy in its originality.
It will sound good: Daria Denisovna, Olga Denisovna, Kristina Denisovna, Natalya Denisovna.
Evgenievna. Dad Evgeniy is on a par with Alexander and Alexei and can choose almost any name for his daughter: simple and sweet, or bright and extravagant.
Melodious middle names
Olegovna. Greatness, nobility, recognition, title - it seems that only the name Oleg is able to combine all these concepts. And the female name should not be inferior here: Yaroslava Olegovna, Miroslava Olegovna, Ekaterina Olegovna, Olga Olegovna, Sofia Olegovna.
Andreevna. The name Andrey is hard and soft at the same time. And the female name next to it should be just as charming, pretty and flirtatious.
It will sound good: Karolina Andreevna, Margarita Andreevna, Zhanna Andreevna, Nadezhda Andreevna, Venera Andreevna, Oksana Andreevna, Valeria Andreevna, Lyubov Andreevna.
Konstantinovna. The name Konstantin seems very courageous and a little daring, so it’s better to name your daughter in contrast to it: affectionately, softly, warmly.
Listen: Maya Konstantinovna, Liya Konstantinovna, Taisiya Konstantinovna, Yulia Konstantinovna, Yana Konstantinovna, Liliya Konstantinovna.
Yurievna. It will be quite easy for dad Yuri to choose a name for his daughter: Alena Yuryevna, Raisa Yuryevna, Victoria Yuryevna, Evgenia Yuryevna, Zoya Yuryevna, Polina Yuryevna... Any name will fit perfectly into this combination. And it doesn’t have to be simple! After all, there are other excellent combinations: Veronica Yuryevna, Anzhelika Yuryevna, Milena Yuryevna, Madina Yuryevna.
Sergeevna It is better to pay attention only to simple, original Russian female names: Elena, Olga, Vera, Anna. The likes of Maria, Sofia, Irina, Inna are also suitable.
The choice must be approached with extreme caution, because many combinations can turn out to be comical: Aurora Sergeevna, Eva Sergeevna, Isabella Sergeevna, Nelly Sergeevna.
Kirillovna. It is also important not to overdo it here. Maria Kirillovna and Anastasia Kirillovna, when they grow up, will be grateful to their parents for the wonderful combinations, while Milana Kirillovna and Eleonora Kirillovna will probably suspect something is wrong already at school. Sometimes it is better to lose a little originality, but remain true to beauty and euphony. This is just such a case.
Antonovna. A melodious and simple-sounding father's name will go with literally every girl's name. For example: Svetlana Antonovna, Irina Antonovna, Tatyana Antonovna, Maria Antonovna, Anastasia Antonovna, Vasilisa Antonovna, Daria Antonovna, Karina Antonovna.
Mikhailovna. Mikhail is a very popular male name in Russia. Therefore, many girls have the middle name Mikhailovna. To combine with it, it would be preferable to choose the following names: Ulyana, Yulia, Anastasia, Christina, Alina, Marianna, Marisha.
Dmitrievna. Male name Dmitry may seem rude to many. Therefore, it is better to choose not just consonant names for it, but melodic ones. For example: Alina Dmitrievna, Anna Dmitrievna, Alena Dmitrievna, Milena Dmitrievna, Jasmina Dmitrievna, Maya Dmitrievna, Svetlana Dmitrievna, Olga Dmitrievna.
Vitalievna. Vitaly is a gentle and at the same time simple name, which means that both soft and unusual girl names are suitable for it. We advise you to choose: Stefania Vitalievna, Evgenia Vitalievna, Tatyana Vitalievna. Daria Vitalievna, Natalya Vitalievna, Serafima Vitalievna, Maria Vitalievna, Maryana Vitalievna, Margarita Vitalievna.
Romanovna. Many people associate this patronymic with the great Romanov dynasty. That is why Romanov’s patronymic is a kind of symbol of aristocracy. The most suitable combinations: Elizaveta Romanovna, Marianna Romanovna, Valeria Romanovna, Alexandra Romanovna, Sofia Romanovna.
Viktorovna. Victor is a proud, but rather rough-sounding name. Therefore, it should be diluted with a gentle female name. Such as Evgenia Viktorovna, Maria Viktorovna, Svetlana Viktorovna, Marianna Viktorovna, Elizaveta Viktorovna, Polina Viktorovna, Tatyana Viktorovna, Olga Viktorovna, Anna Viktorovna.
Igorevna. This patronymic - soft, melodic, non-standard - will suit any name. But there are several names with which more successful combinations will turn out: Daria Igorevna, Elizaveta Igorevna, Victoria Igorevna, Svetlana Igorevna, Ekaterina Igorevna, Olga Igorevna, Tatyana Igorevna.
Eduardovna. For this father's name, finding a compatible daughter's name is quite problematic, since not everyone will look worthy in a pair with him. For example, Kristina Eduardovna doesn’t match at all, does she? But such names as: Margarita Eduardovna, Angelina Eduardovna, Svetlana Eduardovna would be very appropriate.
Andrianovna. Simple names, which are often heard, will not work, since the name Andrian is quite elevated and aristocratic. The most suitable ones would be: Vasilisa Andrianovna, Miroslava Andrianovna, Marisha Andrianovna, Yuliana Andrianovna.
Ivanovna. The original Russian name Ivan requires the same simple, but no less beautiful name daughters. And in this case, any overseas names will be completely unnecessary. I advise you to look for inspiration in undeservedly forgotten Slavic female names, such as: Anisya, Zlata, Agnia, Marya, Nadezhda.
Stanislavovna. This name is not found in our country as often as Ivan or Mikhail, but it also deserves attention. Examples: Alisa Stanislavovna, Marina Stanislavovna, Elena Stanislavovna, Alexandra Stanislavovna, Sofia Stanislavovna.
Valerievna. This patronymic is absolutely universal. More than 90% of all names are suitable for it, so it will be very difficult to make a mistake with the choice. Examples of suitable names: Irina Valerievna, Natalya Valerievna, Kristina Valerievna, Augustina Valerievna and many others.
Pavlovna. When choosing a name suitable for this middle name, you should be guided by universal romantic names. The most suitable: Suzanna, Maryana, Varvara, Lyubov, Karina, Ekaterina, Alexandria.
Ilyinichna. One of the most dissonant middle names, since there are not many names suitable for. But we managed to compile a selection with the most successful combinations: Evgenia Ilinichna, Svetlana Ilinichna, Valeria Ilinichna, Natalia Ilinichna, Alexandra Ilinichna.
Nikitovna. One of the few middle names to which bright and unusual names are suitable:
And this is far from full list unusual names that go with this middle name.
How to choose a name according to the Orthodox calendar
If the parents of a newborn are believers or simply revere church traditions, the girl can be named according to the calendar. To do this, you need to find a church calendar and look in it for the name of the martyr, who is venerated on her daughter’s birthday or in the days following it. For example, if a girl was born on January 25, then she can be named Tatyana, Eupraxia or Nina, whose name day falls on January 27. At the same time, it is not recommended to name a girl who was born on January 25 Vasilisa or Yulia, whose name day falls on January 21 according to the calendar.
How can you name a girl by season?
You can choose your daughter’s name depending on the time of year in which she was born.
It is worth choosing a name responsibly. After all, his fate depends on the baby’s name. Therefore, try to choose names that not only sound beautiful, but also combine with the girl’s middle name and last name. Also pay attention to the meaning of the name.
Attention, TODAY only!
Every person understands perfectly well that being called by his name evokes in him a certain sense of self, which greatly influences his daily actions and choices made in life, which leads to movement either according to the best scenario or to the worse. And this is clear to anyone.
If you choose a name for a girl by her patronymic, logical questions— and how the child himself is taken into account.
The fulcrum in choosing a name is the person whose fate you want to alleviate. The name must be selected for a specific child, his personality, life task, and not for the father.
When choosing a name for a child, you need to concentrate on the child and the effectiveness of the impact of various names on the condition, character and fate of the baby. The right name will improve your character, condition and life, but the wrong name can make it worse. A name is not just a word. A name is a certain meaning, information, association, wave, vibration that affects both the consciousness and the unconscious of a person.
If you take a name just like that, then the consequences can be unpredictable. Sometimes parents take the names of successful acquaintances, relatives, or prominent people. Assuming that a child like that successful person will not disappear with such a name. But the personalities, characters, weaknesses and strengths of people are different, which means that a different name is needed to correct fate and character. This is how blindly borrowing a name can harm your child.

And yet, what name is suitable for the patronymic Ivanovna? To choose a name that effectively influences the child’s fate, you need to analyze the girl, and not the father’s name.
Choosing a name without analyzing the impact on the individuality of a particular child is the same as choosing software on the device according to packaging, without taking into account the essence of a particular device. Or how to make a roof for a house without taking into account the size and weather conditions of the place where the house will be, simply according to the principle “this is how I want it.”
But what underlies this “I want”, what knowledge, understanding of the mechanics of the influence of a name on the conscious, unconscious, character, aura, destiny. And the score real consequences of the name in life... that same responsibility.
To choose the right name, you need to set a goal - what do you want to develop in the child through the name. For example, improve health, protect against birth problems, strengthen certain qualities. Next, you need to look at the weaknesses and strengths of the aura of the child and parents and select a name that “closes” as much as possible weaknesses and protecting from external negative impacts and potential problems. When choosing a name, it is important to consider the purpose of the person and his place of residence.
The main goal that should be set when choosing a name is to make a person’s life the most harmonious, protect him from expected problems and help him maximize his potential. And don’t choose a “melodic” name for your patronymic.
Approach the assessment of the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate consciously.
Give your daughter a name that has a positive impact on her character, condition and life.
1. Find out how the future will change depending on the possible names of your child.
2. Find out how the name affects the aura, character and destiny of the baby.
3. Eliminate risks possible harm(in 70% of cases names cause harm in life).
4. Manage your child’s future not only through external forms (upbringing, education, profession).
5. Give your child an internal source of strength and positive qualities and abilities.
For a pregnant woman, the moment when what grows in her womb shows who her parents should expect to be born - a daughter or a son - is one of the most important and serious moments in the entire history of pregnancy. When the first euphoria from such a close acquaintance with the baby passes, the time of reflection comes: willy-nilly, mom and dad begin to think about what to name their so cute and already beloved baby. Well, or a baby - if a future fashionista is growing in her mother’s tummy.
Psychologists advise that when choosing a name for a girl, as well as for a boy, it is imperative to approach it carefully - the time before giving birth and final definition with the naming there are still plenty of crumbs. This means that you can slowly “arm yourself” with special literature, name reference books, perhaps church calendars where the name days of this or that saint are marked - and thoroughly study the question of the most suitable name for a girl.
As practice proves, the character and fate of the child will depend on what name the parents give the baby, although not completely and directly. Names carry with them a certain sacred meaning, encrypted symbols, many of them are “translatable”, meaning this or that phenomenon or character trait. For example, Marina is translated as “sea,” Nina means “great-granddaughter,” and the name Tatyana defines the future “organizer.” Therefore, in the process of choosing a name for a girl, it is not superfluous to find out the history of the origin of a particular name and clarify its meaning.
It should also be remembered that some of the names, one way or another, evoke associations among others. This applies to the names of famous historical persons or figures, as well as names that have become household names in their own way. Let's say, with the name Helen, many people have in their memory and imagination the image of Helen the Beautiful - a bright and beautiful, gentle and narcissistic Trojan beauty. The name Tamara is often associated with its famous bearer - Queen Tamara, and the ruler's namesake girl is automatically perceived as a proud, strong, wise and powerful woman.
When choosing a name for a girl, you should take into account the statements of psychologists that its “hardness” or “softness” in the future can affect the baby’s character. They say that hard names in which there are hard paired voiced consonants, also combined with the sound “r” - for example, Zhanna, Gertrude, Bogdana, Gerda - endow their owners with a strong, persistent and persistent character. Stubborn, tough, strong-willed and strong disposition can also be “transmitted” to the baby by names derived from male ones - Sasha (Alexandra), Zhenya (Evgenia), Lera (Valeria). But soft and melodious names, rich in vowels and containing sonorant “r” - such as Alina, Ulyana, Maria - endow the girl with a soft and flexible character.
Be that as it may, it is better to decide on a name, taking into account a combination of factors. We are talking about the correspondence of the name with the patronymic, as well as the surname. It would not be amiss to take into account the time of year in which the girl was born. And, of course, you can choose a name based on patron saints: a girl with the name of the saint on whose day she was born acquires a guard and escort for the rest of her life.
But to name a baby in honor of a deceased relative, even a very beloved one, and especially if he died not his own, violently, tragic death- not recommended. Just as it is not recommended to give a name to a girl’s mother, as well as grandmothers. It is believed that in the “shadow” of the mother, bearing her name, the baby subconsciously feels uncomfortable, loses her individuality, and in the future often finds a common language with her mother. But the option of naming a girl in honor of some loved one, who at one time provided an invaluable service, becoming a kind of savior in some critical situation. But even here, parents should be careful: if the benefactor is endowed with some exotic non-standard name, perhaps it will not be suitable for “transferring” it to the baby. More often this concerns any purely national, ethnic names (for example, Georgian name Suliko or, say, Tajik - Laylo), as well as Old Slavonic, including Praskovya, Agrafena, Pelageya.
How to call a girl by her middle name
The compatibility of a girl’s name with her patronymic is extremely important: in the future she will be addressed in exactly this generally accepted form, and it is advisable to avoid unsoundness in such address even in the process of choosing a name. It is believed that sweetness in this case determines several rules. One of them is the relationship between first name and patronymic, so to speak, on a national basis. Thus, exotic and non-standard names - for example, heroines or stars of foreign films/series like Jennifer, Isaura, Carolina, Lolita - are very difficult to imagine in a “combination” with the domestic ones Ivanovna, Petrovna or Andreevna. Agree that Jennifer Evgenievna or Karolina Stepanovna sounds stupid, to say the least.
Another nuance when choosing a name based on “compatibility” with the patronymic is the non-overlapping of two identical vowels at the end of the name and at the beginning of the patronymic. The fact is that in this case, when pronounced, the letters that duplicate one another seem to be eaten: try to pronounce, for example, Anna Andreevna, and you will immediately understand everything. By the same principle, it is not recommended to choose names at the end of which there are several consonant letters, undiluted by vowels, if the middle name is also “oversaturated” with consonants at the beginning. And, again, following the same principle, it is better to avoid repeating the letter “r” in both the name and patronymic. Let's say, Elena Andreevna or Ekaterina Pavlovna sounds much softer and more sweet-sounding than Daria Igorevna or Marina Markovna.
They say that when choosing a name in combination with a patronymic, the length of the name and patronymic also plays a role. So, for a longer middle name, short names are best suited: Alla Viktorovna, Daria Nikolaevna, Rimma Mikhailovna. In addition, a certain sweetness is achieved by combining names and patronymics of approximately the same duration: Natalya Valerievna, Anastasia Sergeevna, Antonina Vladimirovna.
By and large, choosing a name for a girl that would most successfully combine with a middle name is not some kind of wisdom today: there are even special tables, based on which you can determine the appropriate option. Such tables for the middle name Alekseevna, for example, suggest the names Anna, Varvara, Larisa, Nadezhda, Lyubov. According to the tables, the names Magarita, Anna, Olesya, Natalya are suitable for the patronymic Vasilievna. With the patronymic Dmitrievna, as indicated in one of the tables, the names Elena, Evelina, Lyudmila, Lyubov are combined, with the patronymic Romanovna - Sofya, Valentina, Maria, and so on.
The most important thing when choosing a name for a girl by patronymic is to make sure that they harmoniously combine with each other, smoothly flow into one another, creating a kind of legato. To test a combination for “taste,” you should say it out loud several times - slowly and thoughtfully, with different intonations, analyzing whether the combination sounds rude and difficult. It is also advisable to “complete the picture” by pronouncing the first name and patronymic together with the last name: everything should sound easy and melodious.
How to choose a name for a girl depending on the time of year
From time immemorial, there has been a firm belief that the character of a child is determined, among other things, by the time of year in which the baby was born. Therefore, people believe that they should decide on a name for a girl, also taking into account the season in which the baby was born. Making allowances for possible future manifestations of character “dictated” by the time of year.
It is believed that girls born in winter are already born with firmness, purposefulness and determination. And at the same time, there is also excessive temperament and obvious selfishness: winter children need everything to be the way they want. In order to balance these qualities and not aggravate them further, it is recommended to abandon hard names in favor of soft and melodious ones, which will help to somewhat correct children's rigidity and severity.
Spring children, in turn, are windy, light and fickle children. Girls born in spring are characterized by a sharp mind and a wonderful sense of humor. But, at the same time, they are also distinguished by self-criticism, increased vulnerability and resentment, which can often develop into complexes. Firm, tough-sounding names will help somewhat “smooth out” such character traits.
It is better to choose solid names for girls born in the summer. The fact is that children born on one of the solar summer days, usually have a soft and flexible disposition, they are trusting and easily susceptible to outside influence. Summer children are active, but often this activity is short-lived: girls quickly burn out and lose interest in what just yesterday was perhaps not the meaning of life for them. Protection and support for soft and light summer girls can be partially provided by hard, hard-sounding names.
The most “balanced” ones, perhaps, are born in the fall. Everything in them is in moderation: lightness of character, prudence, rationality, practical prudence, logic, and talent. Autumn children are calm and balanced, at the same time sociable and sociable. According to sources, you can choose any names for autumn children - both hard and soft ones will do, because in this case they do not affect the character.
Soft names are melodious and melodious; they are easy to pronounce and sound. Examples of soft names: Anna, Natalya, Svetlana, Irina, Asya, Vera.
Hard names are “antipodes” of soft names: they sound harsh, they usually contain combinations of several consonants in a row. Examples of solid names: Olga, Inna, Dina, Ekaterina, Lydia, Zhanna.
How to name a girl by date of birth
At one time, our ancestors named children after the saint on whose day the child was born. During the time of the nobility, name days were celebrated as a separate holiday, and this holiday, as a rule, coincided with a birthday. And that is why, perhaps, since those times, this magnificent word has remained in the lexicon - name day.
Probably, naming a girl by date of birth is one of the easiest ways of all, because its application simply consists of using church calendar. The fact is that on each day during the year the memory of several saints is venerated. To name a girl by her date of birth, you just need to open the calendar on the desired date and choose the name of the saint that both the parents will like and the baby will like.
The beauty and advantage of this method of choosing a name is that by naming a girl in honor of one of the saints, whose memory is revered on the day her daughter is born, parents automatically “assign” a kind of guardian angel to the baby. And from now on he will be ready to accompany the girl through life. Another convenient thing about this method of choosing a name is that it is not necessary to choose a name for a girl from the list of names that are indicated on her birthday. So, if none of the listed names is “to the ear” of mom and dad, it is permissible to choose any name from the following days. The main thing is not to name your daughter after a saint whose memorial day has already passed. Traditionally, a girl’s name is chosen, if not from the list of saints on the day directly on her birthday, then from the 8th day. If none of the names appeal to mom and dad, you can look at the 40th day - on this day children are usually baptized into the Christian faith.
The simplest example is naming a daughter the name Tatyana, if the baby was born specifically on January 25 or a few days later than this day. It is on January 25 that the day of the Holy Great Martyr Tatiana is celebrated. Legend says that Tatiana was born in ancient Rome, in the family of a noble nobleman who secretly professed Christianity. When Tatiana was forced to bow to a pagan idol, she refused, for which she was tortured. But these tortures did not bring her any harm, during the night the marks of torture on the woman’s body disappeared, and when an angry lion was released on her, the animal, instead of attacking Tatiana, began to fawn on her. And the torturers made the only, as it seemed to them, decision - to execute the woman. Tatiana was executed precisely on January 25, and subsequently this day became the day of remembrance of the holy great martyr. By the way, on top of everything else, Tatiana is also considered the patroness of students: after Empress Elizabeth signed a decree on the opening of Moscow University in 1775, January 25 was first celebrated as her birthday educational institution, and then completely transformed into a holiday for all students.
What to name a daughter - in any case, depends on the desire and discretion of the parents. The main thing when choosing a name is to always remember: with this name the girl will then go through life, smile at young men, meet her only man, go to work every day. Therefore, a name must be chosen that is euphonious and suitable for the baby’s character (you can partially predict what it will be like, taking into account the month and year of the child’s birth, as well as the season during which the baby was born). And also - it must be combined with the patronymic and surname.
