For many centuries, choosing a name for a boy was approached thoroughly and seriously. After all, the boy must grow up to be a brave, strong and dexterous representative of the stronger sex, who will have the opportunity to cope with the role of a hunter or a brave warrior and a brave defender of the family. As a result, the names of boys were designed to emphasize strength and masculinity.

When thinking about what to name a boy, you need to pay special attention to this option, in which they use both an adult brutal form and a soft childish one. Psychology experts advise choosing a name for a rude and cruel boy only as a diminutive name - this will make his character more gentle.

In particular, Maxim can be called Masik, Maksik, Masya. Alexey - Leshka, Lesha, Lenechka. If the baby is very timid, tender and weak, shy, it is much better to choose the most strict name for the boy, in other words, the adult form of the name. In this case, Maxim should be called Max, and Alexey should be called Lekha or Alexey.

Choosing a name for a baby wisely can help develop certain qualities in a boy.

Choosing a name for a newborn baby is a very responsible matter, because the fate of the child depends on this decision of the parents. Parents should be even more responsible when choosing a name for a boy.

A man's name is something that every man should be proud of, and that every man should wear with dignity throughout his life. All boys dream of being strong, dexterous and successful, but they also want their name to be strong and beautiful, and to the greatest extent emphasize their manly strength and beauty!

Today, when it comes to choosing a name for a boy, there are thousands of different names, and parents now have plenty to choose from. Parents are no longer limited in choosing from traditional names that have been passed down from generation to generation. However, when choosing a name for your child, it is necessary to take into account not only fashion trends, political and religious views, but also the time of year.

It is known that in different time every year children are born with completely different characters. Therefore, knowing the natural coloring of the name and the date of birth, you can choose the right names for boys by month; the meaning of these names can successfully develop qualities that your child lacked from birth, or, conversely, mute undesirable ones.

Boys born in winter, are always very talented, strong-willed, purposeful, thoughtful, but at the same time, in family life they experience difficulties because of their intractability, intransigence, the need to argue over trifles and be sure to gain the upper hand. They do not spare themselves in their work, therefore they achieve high results. They are difficult to confuse as they are confident in what they do. Many have a tough temperament, are tough, domineering, stubborn, and proud. These qualities are most strongly expressed in those born in December, weaker in February, “January” children are more balanced. Therefore, we advise you to give winter children “soft” melodious names, so as not to aggravate the character traits inherent in the harsh winter.

Spring people are easily vulnerable physically and mentally. They are indecisive, touchy, flighty, selfish, and squeamish. Most often, these people are gifted, but lack of confidence prevents them from becoming leaders. Every word and action is weighed, the opinion of the interlocutor is carefully listened to. They more readily agree to the role of followers, although they think correctly. They are stubborn, selfish, cautious, susceptible to flattery, and are not devoid of self-admiration. They have a subtle sense of humor, have a good memory and quickly grasp everything. March men pay great attention to their appearance and often look in the mirror. They make good diplomats and speakers. Spring children need to be given "firmly" sounding names to resist an unstable nervous system and psyche.

Summer has a beneficial effect on those born at such a time.

"Summer" children are kind, but often cowardly and spineless. They are easily influenced, emotional and impressionable, love risks, are proud, courageous and persistent in achieving goals, and are active.

Great hard work allows you to achieve success in business. Their kindness extends to other people's children and animals, and their temper does not develop into rancor. They are well versed in art. "Summer" children should be given "firm" names to protect them from unwanted adversity.

Wise autumn, associated in our minds with maturity, experience, and slowness, endowed people born at this time with the corresponding traits. "Autumn" people are universal. They are reasonable, serious, comprehensively gifted, value their accumulated experience and never repeat mistakes, doing everything slowly and thoughtfully. There are many pedants among them. They are thrifty, know the value of money, and thrifty. Diplomatic and principled, they are diligent and diligent in their work, adhere to a clear line of behavior, are persistent in business, have a clear mind, and a light character. A clear and balanced character and devotion contribute to strong marriages. Those born in autumn rarely have conflicts in the family and love children and animals. Among them are actors, philosophers, people of exact sciences. “Autumn” children can be given any names, since nothing can affect their natural character.

Therefore, the meaning of a name can vary significantly by month of the year. For example, the “December” Alexey is in better health than the “summer” and “spring” ones. Alyoshka is stubborn and persistent and often finds himself in conflict situations without wanting to. He is an eternal fighter for justice, but adults sometimes get the impression that the boy is an incorrigible bully and a hooligan. Pride will not allow him to prove that it was not he, but his classmate, who was to blame for some brawl, that he only wanted to restore justice. As a result, most often all the blame falls on himself.

“Summer” Alexey has less strong will than “winter” or “autumn” Alexey. He needs the support of friends and the approval of his actions by colleagues. Because of modesty, he is not always able to realize his ideas himself; he turns to friends and like-minded people for help. It is difficult to cope with failures and takes criticism painfully. Girls really like his diplomacy and tact. He has a good memory and quickly grasps everything new. Loves adventure literature and science fiction.

Alexey, born in spring, is capable of deep feelings, but does not dare to express them. Severely suffers from indecision. The emotional drama he experienced unsettles him for a long time. He is amorous and will not delve into the motives of his beloved’s behavior; her goodwill and sensitivity are enough for him. He prefers not to talk about feelings, since he is still unable to express their depth. He does not tolerate violence, pressure and even the influence of outsiders, but he does not know how to openly express protest and tries to get rid of the presence of such people. He himself does not strive for power. He is not one of those who read morals or impose himself, which earns him the respect of colleagues, friends and especially his adored children and beloved wife.

“Autumn” Alexey is more confident in himself. It’s not easy to talk to him, he analyzes every phrase, demands arguments from his partner, undeniable arguments, and he himself always knows how to prove and defend his ideas. He is specific, laconic in conversation, and has a sharp and lively mind. Initiative, practical, rational. But at the same time, he is attentive to his colleagues, always ready to listen to everyone, discuss the work plan, and takes into account the opinions of others. A tactful, correct and charming man. Winter and autumn give firmness to Alexey's character. He gravitates towards the exact sciences, is practical and enterprising.
