Elena Zhabinskaya

Dear expectant mothers, most likely you already know the gender of your unborn child and are expecting a little princess.

You know exactly what she will be like - beautiful, funny, mischievous, inquisitive and kind, and you want to give her the best. Therefore, you already know how to choose the right one and which one to buy.

The most important, pleasant and significant thing remains: to sort through all the names for girls and choose the most beautiful and best for your little princess. This is a very responsible choice, because it will leave an imprint on the whole later life and the fate of the child.

Will your girl grow up to be a downtrodden quiet person, following the lead of someone else’s, stronger, opinion, will she be aggressive and ready to repel an invisible attack every second? Or will he develop into a harmonious personality with an even character and friendly disposition? You won’t believe it, but a lot depends on the name you give her. That is why it is important to make the choice correctly and consciously.

Numerous scientists have long noticed that people with the same names have similar character traits.

One of the explanations is the phenomenon of “music of names.” According to him, some names sound melodious, literally caress the ear and evoke positive emotions in the one who pronounces and the one who hears. Others, on the contrary, make you cringe and tense.

Each name is a set of sounds of one or another pitch and tonality. All sounds have different effects on different areas brain. Since a person hears his name several dozen times a day, this forms a certain psycho-emotional state and certain character traits. There are solid, tough names: Zhanna, Dina, Tamara. They contribute to the formation of persistent, stubborn, decisive character. There are soft and melodic ones: Svetlana, Natalya, Anna, who will be prerequisites for the formation of a soft and flexible character.

In addition, there is another reasonable explanation for the influence of a name on fate. Hearing a name, we draw conclusions about a person’s nationality (Maria, Olga, Anna, Ekaterina), possible religion (Gulnara, Zulfiya), and supposed character traits (calm Elena, fiery Tatyana). Having succumbed to the first impression, we draw some conclusions about the person. And, of course, when thousands of people “endow” someone with certain qualities when they meet, this leaves an imprint on the personality.

An interesting fact: scientists recently conducted a study and found that girls with attractive romantic names (Angelina, Anzhelika, Milana) progress worse in career ladder, however, are much more successful in creative environment and areas of show business.

How to choose

When choosing a name for a girl, you can be guided by different theories and principles (we'll talk about them below). However, there are some general recommendations that need to be taken into account.

The name must match the child's nationality. This is a fairly obvious rule, and usually in a family of Orthodox Christians it would not occur to anyone to name their daughter Khadija, Alfiya or Alsou. In the same way, the presence of a child, for example, with the name Vera, Anna, Olga, in a Tatar or Muslim family immediately creates dissonance.

The first name must be combined with the girl's last and patronymic names. Various combinations FULL NAME. the child will have to hear very often. First, last name and first name at school, then first and patronymic adult life At work. Therefore, talk through all these combinations several times, so to speak, taste them.

If the surname and patronymic are long, then the name should be shorter. It is convenient to show this using my personal example. When we were choosing what to name our daughter, we saw that we had a long last and middle name, so we chose a shorter name so as not to fall asleep while pronouncing it in full. It turned out like this: Zhabinskaya Eva Dmitrievna. Both together and separately, the combinations are not long and euphonious. Compare, for example, how if it were Ekaterina Dmitrievna Zhabinskaya, or Anastasia Dmitrievna Zhabinskaya. For me it’s a very long time.

At the junction of the surname and first name, first name and patronymic, there should not be a jumble of consonants that make pronunciation difficult. In this case, the child will tense up in advance in anticipation that something might be pronounced incorrectly, which will create uncertainty and tightness. For example, it is more difficult to pronounce Stern Christina than Stern Alice.

You need to try to make the name easily form a diminutive form, so that you can color your communication with the baby in a different range of emotions.

What not to call a girl

When choosing what to name a girl in 2017, you must always remember that a baby with this name will live: go to kindergarten, school, university, build a career. Therefore, it is inappropriate and stupid to do this important issue be guided by current fashion or emotions.

You should not give unpronounceable, unpronounceable and strange names. For example, Tractorina, Wilhelmina, Gloriosa, Eupraxia, Xanthippe, Mitrodora. The child will feel awkward from birth every time he has to name himself, which can develop an inferiority complex and insecurity.

You shouldn't name your children after historical events or outstanding people. Events fade into history, and politicians over time they are often criticized. As a result, a name that seemed significant and relevant to you, ten years later, will sound ridiculous, inappropriate and stupid, confusing the child and developing complexes for him. For example, Dazdraperma (Long live the first of May), Olympics (in honor of the Winter Olympics in Sochi), Crimea (in honor of the annexation of the peninsula), Stalin (in honor of Stalin).

You should not call the baby the same as relatives who died violent death or tragic. You may believe in mysticism or not, but there are statistics according to which such people more often repeat the fate of their unlucky ancestors.

IN Lately there is a fashion for double names(Anna-Maria, Victoria-Elizabeth). The mothers explain this choice something like this: the queen has a royal name (hinting that all reigning persons have always had two names). But firstly, we are still not royalty, and secondly, this is not a game of princesses, but a real child’s life. I don’t see the need to create additional difficulties and awkward situations for a child in communicating with peers.

Names for girls by month according to the church calendar

Our ancestors did not have to puzzle over a suitable name for a child. It was enough to look at the calendar - the church calendar with the names of saints.

It was believed that the saint on whose day the baby was born would be his protector and patron, and accordingly, the baby was given that name.

In our time, although the calendar has already played its role, and the choice of a child’s name is left to the parents’ imagination, sometimes it is still possible, and even necessary, to look at the church calendar.

Who knows, maybe it’s there that you will gain inspiration and find according to the calendar unusual name for a girl, which, in addition, will carry a secret spiritual meaning, because the guardian angel himself will protect such a baby.

Now church canons are not as strict, and to give parents more choice in names, calendars are used by month rather than by day. This means that the name of the patron saint can be selected from a list related to the month of birth of the baby.

• Girls born in September can be called the following names patron saints: Thekla, Martha, Natalia, Maria, Kira, Anfisa, Anna, Elizabeth, Tatyana, Natalya, Ksenia, Vasilisa, Sofia, Lyudmila, Vera, Love, Nadezhda, Raisa, Evdokia, Seraphim.

As you know, classics are always in fashion. And names are no exception here. Most Russian traditional names have their roots in Ancient Greece And Ancient Rome. But this only adds to their charm and history.

With such a name the baby will feel comfortable, and it will most likely go well with her last name and patronymic.

Popular modern names for girls

Sociologists annually analyze which female names are more popular with parents. According to statistics recent years In addition to the classic Russian names that we discussed above, young parents are attracted to the following.

Rare and beautiful

Classic names are beautiful and cozy, but nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with them. And you really want to show everyone that your baby is special. Therefore, I propose to go in search of not only beautiful, but also rare names for girls.

Old Russian

One of the last fashion trends- call children by Old Russian names. I am wary of this idea, and here's why. As a rule, such names are still used extremely rarely in our time.

Accordingly, they are unusual for a child’s ear, and in this case we are again faced with the danger that the baby will be a disaster in children's team, will begin to be ashamed of her name, feel awkward when it is necessary to call it, or when they address her.

There is always such a danger, because we do not know in advance what kind of character and temperament our baby will have. Perhaps some will not be shy and will be able to stand up for themselves, while others will withdraw and refuse to attend school.

Therefore, I do not see the need to give children too rare old Russian names, such as Marfa, Thekla, Lukerya, Pelageya, Euphrosyne, Agrippina, Aglaya.

There is a theory according to which people born at certain times of the year have general features character and inclinations.

Knowing these patterns, you can align and adjust a person’s character in the right direction.

For example, cold and harsh weather conditions form a tough, firm and uncompromising character in those born in winter. Therefore, there is a recommendation to try to give such girls soft, gentle and affectionate names, in order to thus add femininity and kindness. In this case, such names as Elena, Alisa, Sophia would be appropriate, and unlucky (they will only strengthen, aggravate the character) Kira, Olga, Zhanna.

Spring, on the contrary, contributes to the formation of soft, indecisive personalities. It is difficult for such girls to resist other people's opinions, it is difficult to say a firm no, to stop unpleasant statements or actions. On the contrary, they need to add hardness. The names Marina, Christina, Dina would be suitable. Natalya, Dashenka, Svetlana will be unsuccessful.

In the summer, emotional, impressionable girls are born, good-natured and often spineless. Their character should be balanced with solid, stable names, for example, Martha, Varvara.

Autumn is the best time for the birth of balanced, integral individuals. They can be given any name without fear.

Unusual and strange names. Male and female names

Is it possible usual life a girl named Adele? Or will the handsome prince be able to pass by the lady named Violetta? Or Ariadne, which means “ruling”? Of course, a girl with such a rare name will carry it with her head held high. If only it goes with the middle name.

Although problems often arise with this: parents try to name their beloved child as beautifully as possible, forgetting that in 25 years “Olegovna” or something like that will be added to her beautiful, sonorous, most unusual name. Grandmothers usually come to the rescue here, reminding us of common sense. True, it has become possible to register a child directly in the maternity hospital, and this is usually done by the mother. Who will stop her, bursting with hormones?

Anna is the most important

Each country has a certain “list” of common and understandable names. Sometimes parents immediately think that the child (or themselves) will be mobile and consider options for moving, so they initially name the child so that foreign friends do not break their tongues when pronouncing, for example, the name Anastasia. Most Popular modern names in America - Angelina, Britney, Jessica, Gina, Kimberly, Marilyn, Pamela, Tiffany, Hayley, Charlotte. In the UK, for example, Amalie, Amalia, Anabel, Angellina, Bridget, Vanessa, Jennifer, Caroline, Lauren, Meidlin are held in high esteem. By the way, Western parents are very susceptible to various cultural influences. Let's say, the name Emma became very popular when a generation grew up that was a fan of the stories about Harry Potter: Hermione is too difficult name, so the girls were named after Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione in the film adaptation. In Russia, there has recently been a wave of names in honor of characters from Game of Thrones; dozens of girls have already received the name Arya.

A girl's name is important not only for her parents, but also for the opposite sex. Not long ago, a sociological survey was conducted in our country, in which more than 50 thousand people took part. Based on its results, it became clear that the most handsome men names such as Anastasia, Ekaterina and Victoria are considered. By the way, “Anastasia” is already for a long time remains at the peak of popularity.

If you look into history, you will see that the name always pointed to social status girls. For example, the name Maria in the 18th century and the first half of the 19th was exclusively a noble name. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, people began to become interested in this name, to name their daughters with it, it spread throughout the country at the expense of the peasantry. Or, for example, the name Tatyana was for a long time for children from a low class, but it was Alexander Pushkin (deliberately, by the way) who used it in Eugene Onegin, calling Tatyana not a simpleton, but a girl of a delicate nature. After this, the noblewomen also became Tatyanas, and the name grew. There is only one name that has always been popular, it was used to call girls from any class, and according to UNESCO in 1984-1985, it was, in principle, the most popular in the world - this is the name Anna, which has many variations. Nyura will be called a peasant woman, and Anna will be the daughter of a king.

In Russia before the revolution, names were often given by the church. After the revolution, the church was officially removed from this action, and folk creativity spilled out from the limits of reason onto children.

• Old non-church names have returned. Zlata, Lada, Svetlana, Rogneda.
• New ideological names have appeared. Idea, Barricade, Novella, Poem, Idyll, Turbine, Railcar, Industry, Energy, Electrification.
• Unique (according to 1942). Artillery Academy, Great Worker (yes, that's female name), Cherry tree blossom in May, Glavsp, Raitia. The most unique ones are Oyushminalda, Lagshmivara, Dazdraperma.

The girls defended their rights in everything and always. This also applies to the name - in some countries girls were not given a name at all, but instead the name of the most famous family member - the man - was used. Or here in ancient Rome girls were named after their father. Gaius Julius Caesar's daughters were to be called Julia. If there are several girls, they are numbered. Julia Prima, Julia Secunda, Julia Tertia and so on. Sounds very offensive, doesn't it?

Either way, now you can call a girl the most unusual name. Here sample list what beautiful names for girls used this year by various Russian families:

• Aurora,
• Agnia,
• Athena,
• Adana,
• Amalia,
• Bella,
• Dominica,
• Yesenia,
• Inessa,
• Inga,
• Martha,
• Michaela,
• Mira,
• Romana,
• Sogdiana,
• Faina,
• Evita.

At the same time, the most popular name in 2016 (however, this name has long and firmly held the first line) is Sophia (Sofia). Not everyone wants to come up with an unusual name for a girl - although perhaps this particular name was once unique. According to the name book, Sophia is a soft, gentle girl in childhood. When a girl begins to grow up, she becomes diligent and pedantic. Sophia is a purposeful girl, but she does not go ahead, but carefully achieves her goal without causing inconvenience to anyone.

The second most popular name is Maria. Masha (even the name itself sounds soft) is a kind, quiet, vulnerable girl. At the same time, in adulthood, the character begins to be strong and firm. Maria - good wife, family is very important to her. The third most popular line is held by the name Daria. Dasha is impulsive and economical (an explosive mixture). Girls with this name are sociable and artistic. Dashas are usually happy in a stable marriage.

Life stories

Looking at some of the names, you can’t help but think: what were the parents motivated by? Some mothers of girls with unusually beautiful names talked about how they chose names for their children.

Mom Lesya, daughter Vasilina:

I myself have a rare name, so I knew the advantages for myself: they always remember you the first time, they immediately distinguish you from the team (both children and adults). Therefore, when we realized that we would have a daughter, I immediately knew that I would choose a rare name. I liked many rare names, but I needed to find a combination with a rather characteristic patronymic - Egorovna. I directly studied directories of rare names, writing down the options I liked on a piece of paper. But my husband and grandmothers rejected almost everything.

Then I took out a directory of rare Ukrainian names, since we have Ukrainian roots on both sides, it was logical.

There, almost immediately, my gaze fell on the name Vasilina, this is the Ukrainian version of Vasilisa. All my relatives immediately liked this name. Especially after my pregnant brain was already determined to go for Ustinha.

There is, however, one nuance: the daughter is often confused and written down as Vasilisa. At home we call her full name, affectionately Cornflower. I categorically don’t like the abbreviation Vasya, but my daughter, on the contrary, is what her best friends call her.

Mom Tatyana, daughter Mia:

I heard the name Mia during a trip to Germany. A friend once mentioned that Germans often call their daughters this way. I myself didn’t have a child yet, even in plans, but the name was remembered, although I didn’t tell anyone about it. When the ultrasound showed that we were having a girl, and my husband and I began to discuss the name of the unborn child, I rather timidly asked: “What do you think of the name Mia?” My husband really liked it, so all attempts to make a version more “adapted” to Russian pronunciation - Miya, or to name his daughter Polina or Emma - failed. Which I don’t regret, by the way, the name turned out to be suitable for a wayward, very active and lively girl. In the description of the name, everything is written like that, but I didn’t read it until my daughter was almost two years old - for some reason it was uninteresting.

Problems arose immediately: at the maternity hospital, when I was registering my daughter, they asked me for the written consent of the child’s father to use that name. In our city, our Mia became the first, so the registry office had doubts whether dad was against it. In the clinic and other official institutions, I immediately dictate the name by letters M-I-A. In response, I usually hear one of two options: “What a beautiful name” or “They’ll name it.” Another interesting remark was from some grandmother during a walk: “Oh, what a name. Probably dad is Chinese. I’m telling you exactly, Chinese.” And my husband, actually, Pavel, is quite Russian.

Mom Maria, daughter Evdokia:

My daughter chose her name herself. I knew this name (my great-grandmother was Evdokia), and was completely indifferent to it. And when the pregnant woman chose a name, I couldn’t get the name out of my head. I was reading a book with names, and it was there. Until I came across the name Evdokia, nothing was suitable. And my husband couldn’t find it either. When I suggested Dunya, he was so confused, and I saw that there was no protest. And inside I was confident that another name would not work.

An unusual name can be not only rare, beautiful, unusual, but also something that can be called “well forgotten old”. Yuli, Olya, Sveta, Ira, Gali - in the generation of the 80s and 90s these names were all over the place, but now they are practically non-existent. So if you don’t have the imagination for something artsy, then you can just look at your friends. Or go by the easy way and do what many do: open a dictionary and poke at random.

If you have a girl and you are now choosing suitable beautiful name for her, then this article will help you in this important issue. In any era, women have always been unsolved mysteries for men. What can I say, sometimes some representatives of the fairer sex surprise themselves with their unpredictable behavior. Women are often guided not so much by thoughts as by emotions, the logic of which depends more on internal movements souls.

But we want to open one for you little secret, allowing one to predict the motives of a woman’s actions - this is a name. Yes, it is in a woman’s name that there is a decoding that sometimes reveals the inner secret of representatives of the fair half of humanity. It is enough to know the meaning of female names (you can see the list of the most popular names below) in order to have a small idea of ​​character, knowing which you can behave tactfully and correctly with the owner of a particular name. Agree, there is nothing more pleasant than owning several keys to to a woman's heart. And all thanks to their name alone.

Female names- this is the embodiment age-old wisdom, and therefore their meaning determines character and behavior, imparts softness and tenderness, sensuality and passion. Of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes a name brings strong-willed character traits to the forefront, and a woman is distinguished from this by her particular persistence and determination.

With the introduction of Christianity in Rus', pagan female names were transformed and the name was chosen according to church calendar. With the obligatory rite of baptism in Rus', the tradition of naming girls only Christian names. At the end of the article you can see a list of beautiful female names, as well as the most successful combinations of female names with one or another middle name.

Unfortunately, such a key as knowing the meaning of a woman’s name is practically of no interest to men; statistical data indicate that it is more interesting to women. This can be explained by innate female curiosity and the desire to learn everything mysterious and mysterious, intuitively finding everything in everything. hidden meaning. That’s the person’s name, like a mystery that the woman, “mysterious” to men, is trying to unravel.

Now it is becoming popular to call girls rare names, the meaning of which is unknown. But a name is an individual destiny, a code of a person’s destiny. Therefore, from time immemorial, choosing a name has been like a sacred ritual. A woman's name is a special rhythm and tempo of the syllable composition and combination of letters, which determine woman's destiny, her talent, the possibility of realization in three spheres: physical, mental and astral. With transcript own name, its beautiful owner will be able to concentrate on improving her best qualities, as well as overcoming your weaknesses and shortcomings.

Now you know what this or that female name means. This is certainly not far full list female names. But rest assured, among the names presented there will definitely be the most suitable name for your daughter. The only thing I would like to remind you is that modern, newfangled names, derived from the names of popular bands, are a new thing.
