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 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 Fadeev’s 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 thing 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, certain, quite mundane, nuances still need to be taken into account. There are five basic rules to follow when naming your son.

1. Consonance with full name. Agree, the name “Romeo Emelyanovich Sisev” will always attract attention to the child excessive attention. Not every teacher will say “Gremislav Abdelkhakimovich Eldarkhanov.” And Prince Mikhailovich Zhuk, quite likely, having matured, will want to change his name. Therefore, if the family surname is not elegant, it is better to find an unpretentious, simple name for the baby. For example, “Vadim Mikhailovich Zhuk” will look much more advantageous.
2. Compatibility with patronymic. There are several recommendations here. First you need to take into account the nationality of the father. For example, if the father is Armenian Gegham, then it is better to name the boy accordingly. Agree, the combination “Avetis 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”.
3. Correspondence to time and place. No one condemns parents’ love for popular television products, but it’s 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.
4. Transformation. Almost all names have derivative 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.”
5. 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 not grow up loving son and an assistant, but an irritable and insecure eternal fatherly competitor.

In pursuit of fashion: how do Icaras and Masons live?

Parents want their son to wear 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 are unable to come to general decision As for what to name your son, you 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 are Sergey, Kostya, Nazar, Mark, Matvey or Pasha.

And the 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 the capital's civil registry office, since 1991, Alexander has always been in the lead. In 2015, Muscovites also often registered boys as Maxims, Artems, Mikhails, and Daniils.

It is believed that a name can influence a person’s fate, his character and personal life. A person hears it most often, and its effect on the inner self is important. Do you like your name? Did you want to change it? By the way, such an opportunity exists, but only after reaching a certain age. There are names that are soft and gentle, and there are names that are hard and hard. You need to choose your name wisely so that it is pronounced clearly and is in tune with your patronymic and surname. In adult life a person will be treated with respect if he himself likes to hear such treatment.

When choosing, a number of factors are taken into account: from the time of year to the severity of character. Born in summer the children are active and playful, like a June afternoon. And those born in winter and autumn are more realistic, distrustful and intelligent. So it turns out that choosing a name for a child is very difficult. To help parents, appropriate reference books and name popularity tables are published.

Rare stupidity

What would you never name your child? Can you guess? Some parents experience a strong rampant imagination and “dig out” unusual and rare male names from their memory bins. I wonder if the children will be grateful for such originality?! Last year, names with references to religious prophets were common among newborns. For example, Buddha-Alexander, Master, Angel, Prince and Peace. And someone decided not to worry about the name at all and gave it a double name - Sasha-Alexander. Among the girls, there are also plenty of unusual names: Alena-Flower, Delphine, Fox, Russia or Sunny. Rare male names Chingiz, John, Spartak have become fashionable over the past five years, and many parents, apparently, paid tribute to antiquity by naming their children Luchezar, Altai, Caesar or Hector.
There have been recorded cases in Russia where boys were named Leonardo and Marcus-Aurelius. But in our country, names are still chosen that are more or less acceptable, but abroad there are extremely strange examples. In one family where triplets were born, the names were given after the rooms in the house. This is the kind of stupidity that occurs in the world.

The attractiveness of a male name

Why think about a name, because his beauty is not the main criterion for a guy? Some families choose a name based on religious reasons. For example, Muslims believe that high meaning must keep male names. Very few families continue to adhere to the choice of symbolic names when the choice should please Allah. Usually, when translated, such names are quite modest, not distinguished by pathos.

A striking example would be the name Abdullah. It is translated as “slave of Allah.” This name is for an obedient and pious man who follows all the laws of the Koran. Sometimes the child was called, taking care of him afterlife: they believed that he would be rewarded by his name, and if the child’s name was ugly, then they would take pity on him and brighten up his life after death.

In America, names with meaning are rarely given, so Native Americans give little thought to this issue. They usually select short and succinct options that go well with the surname, but they do not give a middle name. Beautiful, rare male names are used here only by visitors, and no prejudices arise. In this, our country still lags behind others. Even despite their beauty, Russian people perceive rare male names with caution, shorten them or replace them with more familiar analogues. Now modern medicine has made great strides forward, and it has become possible to find out the sex of a child by early stages pregnancy. Therefore, there is a considerable amount of time to choose the rarest male name. Maybe it’s worth stocking up on special aids in order to make a decision?!

What do the reference books say?

Every year in Russia statistics are compiled on the most chosen names. For example, in 2011 the name Maxim was named the most beautiful and popular. By the way, it is not of Russian origin at all, but boys are called that quite often. This is a name with a specific claim to the position of leader. Maxim grows up to be a reliable and calm guy, moderately cheerful and hard-working. He is a perfectionist at some points, but rarely proves capable of the humanities.

Alexander, Andrey and Alexey regularly appear in the rankings of the most popular names. But they are not suitable if you are interested in rare male names. The list of Russian variants is rarely added to. Will you ever meet Svyatogor or Ingvar now? No, the most common names are Byzantine, Greek and Arabic. Now Kuzma, Arkhip and German are out of fashion. They became archaic, just like Leo, Myron, Aristarchus. Let's try to put together rare male names.

List: Russian and foreign options

In order for a child to like a name, you need to choose it according to its euphony. For example, the combination of two roots in a word gives the sum of beautiful and sonorous rare male names: Yaropolk, Yaroslav, Svyatoslav. It is noticeable that the options are similar, they are easy to confuse, but they are majestic and courageous.

Abroad, by the way, names are not always very different either. Among Muslims, you almost never see the previously popular Abbas, Abdulmajid, Abdulwahid or Abudlhamid. Such guys grew up strong, strong and pious, which was especially valued in the old days.

Among the English, there have recently been rare male names - Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, William, David. Once upon a time, their carriers were a dime a dozen, but times change, and with them the tastes of people.

In Germany, rare male names are Lucas, Luca, Tim, Leon, Max or Jan. If you name your boy this way, then there is little chance of meeting his namesake.

Previously, in Georgia they really liked to name boys with the letter “A”, but now Hmayak, Abig, Arsen, Artem or Argishti are rare male names. Modern children do not want to be named after their ancestors. Therefore, names with a cluster of consonants or difficult pronunciation are not particularly popular.

Calm and beauty

So how not to make a mistake with the most important choice in life for your child? Should we hold a consultation on this issue or make a decision by chance? In reference books you can select suitable male names. List rare variants supplemented only when they are particularly successful and remain relevant. The bulk disappears in the past. For example, they have become the talk of the town, but in reality they do not occur Armenian names Ashot, Bagram, Zurab or Vakhtang. The French Alar, Jean and Jacques, Baptiste or Honore have not been used for a long time. In Italy, beautiful rare male names Enrico, Giovanni, Silvio and Vittorio belong to public figures or have become stage names.

There is a trend towards adoption Russian performers pseudonyms American origin. For example, one of the rappers is called Dominic, and the hero of the youth series is called Michael. Choosing a name at a conscious age is very different from how this process occurs at birth. Parents are faced with hundreds of options, but they cannot wait for the child’s opinion. Often parents look for beautiful male names (Russian) in books. Few families remember their roots and name their children in honor of their great-grandfathers. Naming a child with a proven and old name is somewhat beneficial, because it is clear that the meaning cannot be negative, otherwise the name would have long gone out of use. When choosing exotics, you have to delve into reference books. What if the chosen option has a terrible meaning? Will the child thank you for this?

Rare, but apt

If the parents showed imagination and named the child something that others had not thought of before, then the boy’s life will be bright. He is unlikely to have a person around him with the same name. But the name should be euphonious, because there was a time when it was believed that terrible names protected children from evil spirits. Now beautiful things are gradually coming back into fashion, but forgotten name Renat. The male name Demid remains very peculiar, but very beautiful. Also interesting are the options Rafil and Albert. Do you want to give your child a blissful and clear name? Then maybe Svetozar or Nazariy will suit you. They will not go well with a short and capacious surname long names, for example Innocent, Christopher or Cornelius. But even in Russia the beautiful name Christian will be relevant and fashionable.

Specific choice

Even the most original name can be digestible if you find an interesting abbreviation for it. It is unlikely that parents will give a name to their child in the hope that he will replace it with a nickname. The shortened version is not a nickname, but a convenient pronunciation. With such an attitude, the archaic but noble names Kondrat, Bronislav, Lavrentiy, Veniamin or Vissarion can receive a second life. When choosing, you should not pay attention to options with a pronounced national flavor. For example, the beautiful name Suleiman can only be in harmony with the corresponding surname. Exactly the same problems will arise with the names Odysseus, Vivienne, Vakhtang or Stefan.

Message in meaning

Parents always believe that their child will become more serious, successful and significant than themselves. They spare no effort or money for this. The first serious step, which depends on the parents, is choosing a name. What do you want from your child? So that he would be kind and bright? Then it makes sense to understand the “solar” names, such as Helian or Helium, or maybe Mai. The name Damir gives the child peace-loving qualities. Innocent embodies innocence and purity of soul, Luxen brings light, and Hilarion brings joy. A boy named Milad will be sweet and kind, and Miron will amaze with his kindness. The cute child can also be called Milius. Those who want to express their attitude towards the baby can use the Radim (“native”) option.

Strength and Masculinity

A number of names are designed to emphasize the vitality of the owner and his masculinity. Do you want your son to be courageous? Give him something beautiful and ancient name Arseny. Or maybe Leonard to be strong?

The names Ovid (“savior”), Staly (“firm”), Nicephorus (“bringer of victory”) or Miroslav (“victor”) remain very pretentious. Such a peaceful and pleasant-to-hear name Leonid characterizes the boy as a “son of a lion,” and the now rather rare name Marsen means “warrior.”

With God in the heart

The conversation about religious names has already taken place, but modern parents I don’t want to focus only on the divinity of the name. Let beauty and kindness be combined in one word. For example, Yang is the “sun god”. Such a boy will grow up to be self-confident, responsible and kind. Good character Matvey will have it, it’s not for nothing that he is a “man of God.” And Benedict is truly “blessed.” By no means rare, but the names Oscar (“God’s spear”) and Bogdan (“given by God”) remain very original. The name “Jacob” seems to many to carry elements of blasphemy, because it means “one who imitates God.”

For the powers that be

For any parent, his child is the best and most worthy. Aren't you afraid to develop pride in your son? Then choose among the royal names. They are beautiful and symbolic. A boy with such a name will not become a subordinate or an eternal second place. It is aimed only at first places. Velimir will become the “ruler of the world,” and Aristarchus will strive to become the “head of the best.” Eruslan is a potential “lion” who has reclaimed his possessions. Voldemar will become the “famous ruler,” but Witold is closer to nature, and he feels like the “head of the forest.”

Last step

So, how do you make a decision if the choice is dizzying? First, we must take into account all the facts, wishes and intentions. Secondly, you need to find out the meaning of the names you choose. Well, thirdly, even the most ideal name may turn out to be irrelevant after the first glance at your child. After all, he is the most chief critic and the person concerned. The first impression of it will indicate all the pros and cons of the chosen names. If it seems absurd to you to give your baby a rare or outdated name, then listen to your inner voice and abandon this idea. Let it be better for the name to be consonant with the surname, capacious and beautiful. Many people settle on simpler options, realizing that names like Volodar or Epifan only strain their ears and cause rejection. It is important not to go overboard in the search for exotic things, otherwise the child may find the only way out is to change his name upon reaching the age when this action is permitted.

Names are another aspect of fashion. U different generations their choice was completely determined different criteria. However, like the entire fashion world, the fashion for names is characterized by a kind of cycle.

Tell me what is your name...

Fate, inner self, rock and signs - according to astrologers, numerologists, as well as numerous Internet sites, all these confusing concepts are extremely influenced by a person’s name. And despite the fact that some consider this nonsense, and others - the truth, it is difficult to argue that, in the end, there is something here. It’s not for nothing that sometimes a name seems completely inappropriate for a person. So how could it be if it were just a word? Everyone goes through life with him, and it is he who is asked first of all when meeting someone. This means that it is obviously believed that with the help of a name you can get to know a person better.

Origin

Modern male names are an assortment of ancient and modern, foreign influences and Slavic motifs. So, when choosing what to name a child, they now use the most unexpected options. Apparently, right now a generational change is taking place, in which there is a kind of fashionable revolution, a return to the roots. The styles of past centuries begin to appear in the clothes, and in the names - something ancient, half-forgotten. Now it’s not so difficult to meet kids on the street running to their mother’s call “Kiryan!” or "Elisha!"

The beauty of sounds

It is difficult to say how to determine whether a name is beautiful. After all, this is a matter of taste. But at one point one of them becomes more popular, more famous, begins to be associated with aesthetics and grace, and in the case of male names, also with strength and masculinity. An inexplicable phenomenon!

So, about five years ago the name Maxim turned out to be the most beautiful, and the rest of the modern male names lost in this battle. Newborn boys are often called Maxims to this day. This is the third most popular choice in Russia.

The most unusual beautiful male names

Modern resources allow you to gain open access to information on almost any issue. Thanks to them, it’s not so difficult to choose original male names from thousands of options. Modern Russian young couples are not limited to the banal choice in favor of Ivanov and Petrov; when thinking about what to name the boy, they strive for mystery in the sound.

So, the rarest and most beautiful names of men of our time are given below:

• Christian;

  Mstislav;

• Eric.

Whatever the choice from this list, the ideal option is when the name is combined with a surname and patronymic, which emphasize its sonority. Exclusivity in something always imposes certain obligations on its owner. In this case: living up to your extraordinary name and wearing it with dignity, willingness to face misunderstanding from others.

Closer to the heart

Despite the fact that unusualness usually closely borders beauty, which was literally confirmed by the previous section, we should not forget that simplicity has its own sophistication. Russian male names are no worse than foreign ones. Modern girls they choose Mikhailov and Konstantinov instead of Edwards and Anvars, feeling in them a security that stands above pathos. By “Russian” we mean not origin, but prevalence.

Among the names whose popularity has not faded over the years:

Alexander;

Alexander and Dmitry are a separate conversation; These have long been very popular beautiful male names in the vastness of Russia. Modern boys, guys and men wear them with pleasure, just as nobles, princes and kings did back in the 19th century.

What's in your name?

Every time, looking anywhere for male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - it doesn’t matter, most of all the searcher is interested not so much in a specific list, but in the meaning. It's always interesting to know the secret hidden behind a combination of letters.

Modern male names and their meanings correlate with each other quite clearly: for example, Alexander, already mentioned in this article, is translated as “protector.” It’s not for nothing that the famous commander immediately comes to mind. Interestingly, the name Alexey has the same etymology. As you can see, the common root “Alex” is responsible for the semantic energy, although when short forms It’s precisely he who gets lost, leaving much nicer options Sasha and Lesha.

How indicative this example is: modern realities force beautiful male names to simplify and shorten, all their majesty is lost. Sometimes this comes in handy, but I wouldn’t want the origins to be forgotten one day and the power to be lost forever.

Modern male names: list

So, the young couple is waiting for a miracle to happen - the birth of a child, in this case a son. She begins to look for suitable male names in all sources of information. List (Russian modern dictionaries fortunately, they are full of such “databases”), the choice is usually extremely large, and each source tries to classify them in its own way.

Some (even most) of them present lists where male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - all in one listing, but distributed alphabetically.

Meanings of the most popular names for men

In the previous paragraph, male names were considered: the list (Russian modern ones for the most part, foreign ones for the lesser part) pleased with new, extraordinary combinations of sounds and long-known ones, loved in the vastness of our homeland. In Russia, the most used male names over the past ten years are:

• Alexander;

What does each of them mean?

Alexander

Alexander was and remains the most famous male name. It is popular not only in the post-Soviet countries, but also abroad. Many famous personalities bore this name: Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Alexander the Great.

Its origin is Greek. The name is made up of the phrase “I protect people.” Alexandras are always persistent and strong individuals, real men with a reputation for fair people.

Dmitriy

The name Dmitry also comes from Greece. The sunny country called the young men this way in honor of the goddess of fertility Demeter.

Men named Dmitry have a strong will to live, they are kind at heart, although they sometimes commit harsh acts. Loyalty - distinguishing feature Dmitry throughout his entire life. Sometimes they are too talkative, which interferes with achieving goals, but natural perseverance wins, so they never stop if they really want to achieve something.

Maksim

The name Maxim is distinguished among the three most popular male names by its origin - it is Latin. Translated from this language - “greatest”.

Maxims are often altruists, they love people and believe in them - they want to see something good in every person, which is why they sometimes suffer. At the same time, such men are strong in character, persistent and stubborn, they are not afraid of responsibility, and they make good and caring fathers. By the way, children are loved in principle, both their own and those of others.

Conclusion

To believe or not to believe that a name has sacred power is everyone’s choice. But even the most cynical person on earth is unlikely to be able to call it just a word.

Male names of any time are amazing in that, no matter how majestic their full form sounds, they always keep a short, diminutive form for those closest to them. She reveals sensuality and softness, without which even the harshest man would be nowhere.

From time immemorial, the birth of a boy in a family has been considered a great joy, especially for the father. The son bears his last name, continues the family line, and the simple phrase “I had 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 rich story. 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.

Did you know that the Russian name Ivan (pardoned by God) has a large number of analogues all over the world: John - in England, Johannes or Johann - in Germany, Jean - in France, Giovanni - in Italy, Johan - in Sweden, Jens - in Denmark, Juan - in Spain, Yuhanna - in Arab countries. Perhaps the simple Russian name Vanya will be most suitable for your young traveler?

Orthodox names for boys

Previously, there were no questions about what to name a newborn. The name was chosen according to the Saints - a book that is a complete list of the names of all the saints whom it honors Orthodox Church. The priest in the church offered the parents several names of saints, whose memory was honored on the baby’s birthday. Now the tradition of naming according to the Saints is relevant again.

Foreign names for boys

The fashion of naming children in a foreign manner does not lose its relevance. From time to time, you can hear mom calling for her Matthew, Edgar, Richard, Adam, Benjamin, Michael or Harry. Despite the fact that many Russian names are considered somewhat international (Ivan - John, Stepan - Steve), you should not be guided only by imagination or name your son in honor of a popular film actor. Think about whether the child’s first name will match the middle name and last name. 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

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. They are also characterized by kindness towards everyone around them and towards our smaller brothers. Good name options for such children would be Arkady, Nikita, Roman, Ruslan, Eduard, Dmitry, Bogdan, Svyatoslav.
