A modern male name for a child is a very abstract concept. Old Russian, foreign, “Russianized” names of predominantly ancient Greek and Latin origin, creative ones - in each of these groups there are names that are relevant today.
- Consonance with full name. The abundance of letters “r” in the surname and patronymic can be balanced by a soft name devoid of this letter. And vice versa.
- Harmonization with surname and patronymic. An ornate name with a simple surname and patronymic sounds ridiculous. As well as most ordinary, modest names, coupled with unusual or foreign surnames.
- Some people believe that if there is no letter “r” in the baby’s middle name, then it must be in the name, otherwise the child will grow up to be too soft-tempered. An excess of the letter “r” also does not bode well, so if this letter is present in the patronymic, the name must be chosen without it.
- It would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the interpretation of the name before naming the child. Male names have a wide variety of meanings, and there is an opinion that a “weak” name can negatively affect the baby’s future.
- It is considered bad luck to name a baby after the dead, especially tragic death, relatives or great martyrs. There is an opinion that the child can repeat their fate.
Russian male names for children

- Names of the gods: Yarilo.
- Names derived from the names of representatives of flora and fauna: Hare, Pike, Wolf, Eagle, Walnut.
- Names derived from human qualities: Can, Brave, Stoyan.
- Names formed from participles: Khoten, Nezhdan, Zhdan.

Conclusion
The range of names for boys these days is simply huge. If future or established parents are interested in current male names for a child in 2018, then it is worth turning to the top of the same name for the current year: practice shows that the “winners” of such charts remain in demand for a long time.
In general, it is not so important what origin the child’s name comes from. The main thing is that parents like it and suit the baby.
Hooray! An ultrasound showed who lives under my mother’s heart. “Son,” you are touched. “Heir!”, the future father rejoices. This is the moment when a woman begins to refer to her belly quite specifically, and that means it’s time to call it “belly.” And although it is not the name that makes a person, often disputes from the series “Vladlen, Dionysus or Vanya” lead to the fact that the baby remains a “baby” until the very moment of receiving a birth certificate. It is right in such a situation to gather for a family council. And you need to go there, armed with information about what rare and beautiful names there are for boys.
Our ancestors believed that the name determines the fate and character of a person. For example, by calling their son Lazarus, adults believed that God himself would help him in life. And the Fadeevs’ parents hoped that their children would become successful and deserve praise in everything. They expected protection from Alexei, and courage from Brave.
The name is protection and the basis for personal development
In Indian tribes it was customary to give a person two names. One of them is false. It became public and was determined as the child grew up, when he showed any of his special qualities or skills. For example, "Keen Eye".
And the other was true and secret. It was carefully hidden, especially from strangers. It was believed that the enemy, who learned the secret of your naming, would gain power over your destiny, life and death.
In Christian families even today, during the sacrament of baptism, the child is given a second name, which is recommended not to be advertised to strangers. His clergyman determines by church calendar, taking into account the baby’s date of birth and the Orthodox name book. So, the child is named according to the calendar. That is, in honor of a certain saint, whose day coincides with the day the child is born or falls on the eighth or fortieth day from birth.
They say that the name of a ship determines the success of its voyage. That’s why parents often name their baby, taking into account the possible energetic influence of the Universe.
From a psychological point of view, a name is one of the main indicators of personality. This way the child can realize his gender identity, isolate himself from other people and take the path of independent development. Even new generations remember their ancestors based on their names.
How to name your son: 5 rules
All conversations regarding the influence of a person’s naming on his fate need not be taken seriously. But when choosing a beautiful and unusual name for a baby, you still need to take into account certain, quite mundane, nuances. There are five basic rules to follow when naming your son.
- Consonance with full name. Agree, the full name “Romeo Emelyanovich Sisev” will always attract undue attention to the child. Not every teacher will say “Gremislav Abdelkhakimovich Eldarkhanov.” And Prince Mikhailovich Zhuk, quite likely, having matured, will want to change his name. Therefore, if family surname is not distinguished by elegance, it is better to find an unpretentious, simple name for the baby. For example, “Vadim Mikhailovich Zhuk” will look much more advantageous.
- Compatibility with patronymic. There are several recommendations here. First you need to take into account the nationality of the father. For example, if the father is Armenian Gegham, then it is better to name the boy accordingly. Agree, the combination “Avetis Geghamovich” sounds strong in comparison with the combination “Vasily Geghamovich”. Another tip: focus on the length of the middle name. Short names are better suited for bulky middle names, and vice versa. For example, “Lev Konstantinovich” sounds more melodic than “Innokenty Konstantinovich”. Also, you should not give your baby a “name” that ends with the letter that the father’s name begins with. For example, “Vadim Maksimovich”. Also think about avoiding the accumulation of vowels and consonants at the junction of the name and patronymic. Because there is a high probability that in a conversation people will involuntarily distort them. An example of a not entirely successful combination: “Peter Vladimirovich.” But combinations play well when there are beautiful sound matches or names begin with the same letter: “Andrey Alekseevich”, “Elisey Evgenievich”.
- Correspondence to time and place. No one condemns parents' love for popular television products, but it is unlikely that Batman or Nolik will feel comfortable in the village of Michurino. Edward and Barak will also look special in the Slavic environment. And Tirrion or Mason during puberty will not collect autographs, but will carry bruises home. Therefore, think carefully about your decision before naming your boy with a name that is too unusual.
- Transformation. Almost all names have derived variations. They are transformed into diminutive forms or nicknames. And the latter may turn out to be offensive. This must be taken into account so that the child is not teased later. Please note that mom will be able to call Maxim “Maksyusha or Masya”, and friends - “Max” or “Maksyukha”. It’s more difficult with Gleb. Parents will address him: “Glebushka.” And peers will immediately twist it: “Bread.”
- Unisex names. Psychologists recommend to parents: “When naming your son, avoid options with vague gender references.” For example, these are the names Zhenya or Valya, which are suitable for both girls and boys. This is especially important if the child’s last name is not declined. For example, surnames like “Viligura” or “Katz” do not give an idea of who their bearer is - a guy or a girl. Therefore, “Sasha Shuvalov” is still an acceptable option, but “Sasha Koval” is, alas. This combination can provoke problems with the child’s self-identification and suppress exceptional masculine traits in character.
In Russia, the tradition of naming a child after relatives remains. For example, like a great-grandfather. This custom is a matter of debate. Some young parents are against him, because they believe that the baby can absorb the negative experiences of his ancestors and repeat their fate. And other mothers and fathers insist: naming according to the generic principle is additional protection.
It is better not to name your son after a relative who suffered a brazen, painful death or who had problems with the law. Psychologists also advise not to take your father's name. Otherwise, little San Sanych may grow up not to be a loving son and helper, but to become an irritable and insecure eternal competitor to his father.
In pursuit of fashion: how do Ikars and Masons live?
Parents want their son to have a rare, energetically strong and fashionable name. But when considering unusual names for boys, it is important not to go too far. Fashion is a changeable thing. It is enough to look at history. Remember how, based on the events of 1917, the boys were named October, Revo, Vladlen.
During the Soviets, Perkosrak (in honor of the launch of the first space rocket) and Dazdraperma (in honor of May Day) were popular.
Subsequently, after the collapse of the USSR, there was a wave of naming children based on TV series. Enrique, the Masons, the Cruzes, Rogelio, and Guillermo were registered.
But practice shows that after a few years all the tricky options not only lose relevance, but even look funny. But traditional names in our culture like Nikolai, Vladimir, Oleg and Alexei always sound decent.
Today there is a tendency for Old Church Slavonic names to come back into use. And among them there are unusually beautiful names for boys. For example, in 1990, only seven Platons were registered throughout Russia. And in 2015, this male name was already among the ten most popular in the country.
What are men called: interesting facts
Male names are divided into soft and hard. In the first case, boys grow up calm and docile. In the second - stubborn and strong.
Soft ones include those in which there are many vowels, as well as quiet sonants - th, r, l, m, n. This is Ilya, Benjamin, Mikhail.
But in hard ones, voiced paired consonants predominate in the company of the growling letter “P”. These are the names of Yegor, Gregory, Dmitry.
There are also neutral options that endow their owner with moderate determination and wisdom. This applies to Arkady, Andrey, Pavel.
Romans are born in February, and Marks are born in July.
If parents cannot come to a common decision on what to name their son, then they can resort to the help of a calendar. Observations by old-timers show that completely different options are suitable for children born at different times of the year.
It is better to name winter boys by choosing from the following list: Roman, Anatoly, Peter, Semyon, Arseny, Ivan.
Spring children are comfortable if their names are Danila, Styopa, Nikita or David. For summer good options- Sergey, Kostya, Nazar, Mark, Matvey or Pasha.
A autumn baby will be in harmony with the name Timofey, German, Fedor or Anton. There are even special layouts where options suitable for naming are listed by month.
Naming by number and horoscope
Even adults resort to the help of numerology. To do this, the number of the baby’s date of birth is calculated and a name corresponding to this number is selected in special literature. Also, adults often pay attention to compatibility with the baby’s zodiac sign. And they even look at the combination with the names of the parents themselves in order to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings at the energetic level.
The most common name on the planet, given to more than 300 million men, is Muhammad. IN Muslim culture This is the customary name for all first-born children. But in Moscow, according to data metropolitan administration civil registration, since 1991 Alexander has always been in the lead. In 2015, Muscovites also often registered boys as Maxims, Artems, Mikhails, and Daniils.
