When looking for an answer to the question of what to name a girl, you can follow the advice of psychologists, astrologers, numerologists or folk superstitions. What to choose from this arsenal is up to you.

What psychologists say

First of all, they pay attention to the case when children are named after grandmothers or great-grandmothers. It should be remembered that the absurd old name may cause discomfort in the child. If such a desire is invincible, try to find modern version the old anthroponym, for example, Aksinya can be replaced by Oksana (Ksyusha).

Also, do not rush to reward your child with a too original movie name; think about how it will sound without reference to the film. It is quite possible that others will look for similarities between the film hero and the person, and this erases individuality.

The sound composition of anthroponyms, according to experts, influences a person’s character. For example, a combination of voiced consonants with “r” will contribute to the formation of a tough character, while girls whose names are dominated by sonorants will be kinder and softer. By the way, today there are special programs with which you can check your name.

If you decide to name your girl by her date and month of birth, pay attention to her zodiac sign and time of year. For example, astrologers say that for Leo you need to choose luxurious, majestic names(Regina, Nadezhda, Angelica), for Taurus the names Olga, Veronica, Oksana are suitable, and for Cancers - Lada, Yana.

Tips for different months:

If the baby was born in winter, name her softly and femininely (Ulyana, Svetlana, Yulia), since this time “gives” a strong character.
For gentle ladies born in spring, choose stronger names: Larisa, Eleanor, Veronica.
Baby, born in summer, you can call them whatever you want, because they can develop any character traits.
Autumn people are practical, they need to be called romantically, for example Zlata, Maria, Leah.

In numerology there is a special table from which you can calculate the meaning of anthroponyms and choose the most suitable option. The table and instructions for it are easy to find on the Internet.

Folk signs and superstitions

There are also many folk signs. Let's present the most popular:

Children should not be named like a relative with a bad fate, otherwise the situation may repeat itself.
You cannot give the name of a person who lives in the same house with the baby - one of the namesakes may die. People believed that everyone had a guardian angel and that he could not protect two people at once.
In contrast to the previous superstition, there is a belief that if a woman gives birth to only girls, she must name the latter the same as her mother, and the next one will be a boy.
You cannot give a child the name of a recently deceased relative.

We are for the long forgotten old

Interesting female names of original Russian origin are now surprisingly rare. Why aren't Elena, Vera, and Natalia so sweet? You will be surprised, but it is very difficult to meet modern newborns with such names. But Sofia and Daria meet in almost every ward of maternity hospitals.

Old female names are even less commonly used. Some 100-200 years ago among common people they sounded everywhere, but are now lost past glory. Perhaps someone will like one of these options: Agapia, Agnia, Adeline, Antonia, Vasilisa, Evdokia, Emelyan, Zoya, Zlata, Matryona, Milena, Pelageya, Praskovya, Seraphim, Taisya, Raisa, Fevronya, Thekla, Theodora.
