There is such an anecdote: - Elisha, son, don’t they tease you in kindergarten? -Who will tease? Ostap? Eustathius? Arkhip? Prokop? Or maybe Naum? Indeed, you go to the group, and there is the thirtieth kingdom, and not kindergarten. Parents in lately(read when the watchful eye of conscientious grandmothers from Soviet Union) began to invent unusual names for boys. Well, whatever you call the ship, that’s how it will sail.

It is widely believed that a person needs a name to be his “individual distinguisher.” Scientists refute this position with a variety of facts. For example, in Sweden in the 60s of the last century, the population was approximately 7 million. Of these, 381 thousand people bore the surname Anderson, 364 thousand people Joganson, and 334 thousand Carlson. In Moscow at the same time, there were 90 thousand Ivanovs in the telephone directory, of which a thousand were Ivanov Ivanovich Ivanovs. The same name was widespread. This situation is realized in two versions: father and son or mother and daughter have the same name. Or a tougher option - siblings have the same name. For example, Tsar Ivan III had two siblings, Andrei, and two daughters, Elena. In the Middle Ages, among the Poles, a canon named Jan Dlugash lived in the city of Krakow. According to surviving documents, 10 of his siblings had the same name. And in the Russian pre-revolutionary village, 25% of men bore the name Ivan, but what - beautiful name for a boy.

Greatest and unharmed

Today, parents are increasingly thinking about how to make their child stand out from the crowd and help him live bright life, calling him unusually. Giving a rare name to a boy, no matter how punish it may sound, is not uncommon today. Something like this list of unusually beautiful names for a boy will help you distinguish your son from his classmates, and then classmates or colleagues:

• Adam,
• Arthur,
• Adrian,
• Bronislav,
• Boleslav,
• Benedict,
• Walter,
• Hermann,
• Gordey,
• Demyan,
• David,
• Elisha,
• Zakhar,
• Ignat,
• Clement,
• Christian,
• Lyubomir,
• Martin,
• Nathan,
• Orestes,
• Oscar,
• Plato,
• Rudolf,
• Stanislav,
• Taras,
• Felix,
• Khariton,

In 2015, the Moscow Civil Registry Office registered the name Sevastopol for the first time. Also in different cities, parents chose such rare and beautiful names for boys as:

• Diamond,
• Jazz,
• Hector,
• Kuzma,
• Laurel,
• Luke,
• Radislav,
• Radamir,
• Dawn,
• North,
• Spartacus,
• Fadey,
• Jaromir.

At the same time, the most popular names in Russia for many years have been Alexander (meaning “defender”), Artem (“unharmed”), Maxim (“greatest”).

Recently, the tendency to call children forgotten has returned. Old Russian names, primarily those that the church used to give: Zakhar, Plato, Savva, Demid, Lukyan, Miron, Ruslan, Rurik, Svyatoslav. This is really good for Russia in terms of compatibility with first and last names. A separate “caste” of these names are all those that end in “slav”. In the 11th-13th centuries in Rus', these names mainly referred to the Rurikovichs. The main thing is to teach the child, when he grows up, to clearly pronounce his name, otherwise he will simply be Vyacheslav everywhere, and not some Boreslav or Miroslav. By the way, the now popular name Milana is similar in meaning and origin to Miroslav, so children of different sexes can be called Miroslav and Milana.

With Russia everything is clear - stability. In the USA, for example, the most popular names for boys are John, Robert, Richard, William. Popular in England modern names for boys: Stephen, Paul, David, Mark, Alan. And in Germany - Ben, Luca, Paul, Lucas, Leon, Maximilian, Felix, Noah, David, Jan.

Interestingly, in some countries the number of names is not regulated at all. In the city of Percelles in Belgium in 1972, a boy was given a name consisting of the names of 22 players of the local football club. In Russia, the number of names is strictly limited. And it’s good - it’s not hard to imagine what a riot of names our parents would have come up with back then in an attempt to create the most unusual names.

Life stories

It is interesting that many parents who gave their sons rare and unusual names found it difficult to talk about exactly how they did it. Most either simply read the dictionary of names, choosing almost at random, or said “it hit me during pregnancy.” It seems that few approach the choice thoroughly, study the meaning of the name, pronounce the name out loud, try on affectionate sounds. But some mothers still told amazing stories.

Mom Anastasia, son Bazhen:

I have always been interested in names and their meanings. When I found out about pregnancy, I immediately decided that the name would definitely be Slavic origin, in my case - Old Russian. There were other options, but they disappeared the same day they were proposed. I chose the name for my son, I read a lot about its origin, I like its meaning and sound. The name comes from the Old Russian verb “bazhat”, which means “to desire, to want”, that is, Bazhen is a desired child. The name was common in the Middle Ages in Rus'. I affectionately call him Bazhenchik, or Zhenya for short.

Mom Inna, son Gordey:

It turned out that I came up with a name for my son 16 years before Gordey was born. I worked part-time as an assistant teacher in a children's sanatorium, and in my group there was a boy named Gordey. He was ten years old and looked like an angel: blue-eyed blond, very kind, well-mannered, and most importantly, smart beyond his years.

To my joy, my husband immediately liked my cherished name for his son. For the sake of order, we tried to look for other options, but nothing else suited us at all. Although I had a spare name - Vasily, in the end it was Vasily that I married, and this option disappeared by itself.

It’s interesting that in 16 years I have never met a person named Gordey, but now I know several of my son’s little namesakes, born in the last year and a half. So the name is no longer so rare.

Our Gordey was born not in Russia, but in Cyprus, where my family and I temporarily live. And it came as a surprise to me that my son’s name turned out to be difficult for foreigners to hear and speak. Cyprus is a country that loves children very much. On the street people constantly meet Gordey, play, talk and, of course, ask his name. Sometimes you have to repeat several times and answer clarifying questions: “No, not Harry. And not Gordon." One of his son's diminutive names is easier to pronounce: Gordy. And in our family we call him in the Russian manner - Gordyusha. So the name sounds cozy and homely.

Whether or not to name a boy with an unusual name is, of course, entirely a parental matter. He will be Jan, Sasha or Elisha - it is the parents who must choose, although the public may object. The main thing when choosing a name for a boy is to remember one extremely important thing: the first name must be combined with the patronymic and surname. If a girl can still change her last name, then the boy will most likely live his whole life as he was named by his parents.

From time immemorial, the birth of a boy in a family is considered great joy, especially for the father. The son bears his surname, continues the family line, and simple phrase“I have a son” already fills every dad with a sense of pride. It is very important to choose a male name so that it is combined with the patronymic and surname, sounds good in the diminutive version and is not particularly harsh on the ear when children start exchanging nicknames at school. And it is quite possible that your heart will tell you the most suitable option when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time.

Russian names for boys

The name plays a very important role in the life of every person. And Russian names have a rich history. Many names have survived from Ancient Rus' until our time.

Even in the chronicles of the 11th century, you can find well-known names: Oleg (holy, sacred), Igor (warlike), Gleb (who owns the world), Svyatoslav (sociable, friendly), Vladimir (obedient, neat). We associate these names with antiquity, the heroic and glorious campaigns of the ancient Russian princes.

It is worth remembering that a competent approach to choosing a name for a boy will help develop strong masculine qualities in the child.

Choosing a name by season

Astrologers say that the time of year can play a role in shaping the character of the heir. You can study the main character traits that are inherent in different months of the year to make it easier for you to decide on a name.

Boys born in winter have an unbending character. With such a man you can not be afraid of problems and attacks of fate. They achieve their goals and do not stop in the face of difficulties. Winter names - Gregory, Valery, Daniil, Efim, Sergei, Timofey.

Spring guys are vulnerable, indecisive and shy by nature. A name can play an important role in character development. Among those born in spring there are many gifted people who are comfortable with exact sciences. To activate their best qualities, name the child Tikhon, Felix, Yaroslav, German or Konstantin.

Those born in summer are optimists in life. Restless and energetic in childhood, they will remain the life of the party well into adulthood.

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 coincidence, this may be the reason nervous disorders 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.
• A deceased relative. Not the best best 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.

• Spring. More solid-sounding ones are suitable here, because spring children rarely have a lively character. To unborn child was 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.

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.

How to choose a beautiful Muslim name?

In Muslim culture, the method of naming children in accordance with ancient documents is especially popular. The wrong choice of name for a boy can cause bad luck, poverty, illness, laziness in the future, which pushes parents to name him in honor of the saints: Muhammad, Abdul, Idris, Qadir, Rahim, etc.

For Muslim culture The same meaning is typical for several names that differ in sound. For example, Hasan and Elmir mean beauty, while Zabir, Qavi and Ali characterize a person who is strong and powerful. It is noteworthy that there are no negative names, which explains the desire of parents to provide their children with a better destiny.

Muslim traditions are replete with names denoting beauty. You can call the boy Anwar (light, bright), Jamil (handsome), Dilyair (soulful), Ihsan (merciful), Ramil (magical), Fazil (talented). If parents cannot decide on their own the issue of naming their son, they can turn to the imam.

Before the revolution in the territory Russian Empire It was common among Muslims to use two names. The child received his first naming as a talisman. To protect his son from the evil eye, this name was hidden from strangers. The second was of lesser importance and was used in everyday life. IN Soviet times this tradition has died out, but today there is a return to it.

Unusual and rare names

By calling their sons unusual names, parents strive to give them a bright personality. Such children may retreat from public opinion, and sometimes go against him. Wanting to achieve any success despite the influence external factors, they can only rely on their perseverance and fortitude.

Parents sometimes make the mistake of calling their son a rare name in order to endow him with the qualities of a fighter. If for some boys it becomes an impetus for the formation of a bright individuality, with the help of which they achieve success under any circumstances, then for the other it is a cause of constant psychological discomfort.

For thoughtful, calm children, a non-standard name is an annoying factor that attracts unnecessary attention. By naming the baby Oscar, Azat, Mikel or Radislav, parents endow him not with the power to defend his beliefs, but with the source internal conflict. He is expected to constantly prove his worth, while he requires solitude to develop his personality.

The rare name must be combined with the child's last and patronymic names. Combinations such as Petrova Madonna Alekseevna or Kozlov Marcel Ivanovich sound disharmonious.

When naming the baby, they take into account the national and cultural characteristics of the prevailing mentality in society. For example, names such as Arkhip, Bronislav, Borislav, Lavrentiy go well with surnames of Slavic origin.

Choosing a name depending on the time of year

When choosing a name, parents are traditionally guided by the month of their son's birth. There is an opinion about the relationship between the seasons and certain character traits of the baby.

It is believed that children born in winter are stubborn and domineering. To soften these traits, sons are named with names containing soft sounds:

• Alexey;
• Leonid;
• Nikita;
• Paul;
• Vasily.

Babies born in spring are distinguished by a romantic and sublime character. It is recommended to call them traditional male names to balance their subtle nature, giving them courage and strength:

• Konstantin;
• Stepan;
• Bogdan;
• Egor;
• Sergey.

Children born in summer have a brave and kind-hearted character. To enhance these qualities, it is recommended to choose sonorous names:

• Elizar;
• Philip;
• Denis;
• Yuri;
• Vitaly.

“Autumn” children are often distinguished by distrust and some egocentrism. To give the baby sociability and friendliness, choose simple sonorous names:

• Anton;
• Nazar;
• Yakov;
• Nahum;
• Tikhon;
• Semyon.
