What to name the child? What do parents need to know? Child's name and numerology: free online calculation based on the child's name and month of birth of the boy.

Since ancient times, the choice of a boy's name has been treated with special attention, because he is the successor of the family, a protector and, of course, a future father. We will help you choose the best and most suitable name for your child.

Even in ancient times, people knew and believed that the name influenced fate, so they tried to name children after heroes, gods or simply strong creatures (Wolf, Oak, etc.). Over time, many proper names have appeared, but each name means something different, special. Therefore, before you name your newborn son, you should find out the origin, meaning and etymology of the name you want to call him.

Today there is a tendency to call sons by some original or foreign names.

First of all, you need to remember that every boy will sooner or later become a father, so you need to choose a name that will make a good middle name.

Therefore, you should not name the child Bill, George, Murray, etc. Have pity on your grandchildren, who will bear the middle names Djordevna, Djordjevich, Billovna, Billovich, etc. After all, their father’s origins will be judged by their patronymic.

It would be much more favorable to name the child with an Old Russian name, since they are rapidly returning to use.

Such names, on the one hand, are familiar to everyone, and, on the other hand, are quite original, so you can’t go wrong if you name your son: Matvey, Miron, Luke, Mark, Gleb, Ignatius, Svyatoslav, etc.

Also, if you want to name your son after his father, then you should think about it several times before, because:

• A boy can grow up to be very irritable, nervous and moody.
• He's losing his personality
• This combination is not easy enough to pronounce: Nikolai Nikolaevich, Alexander Alexandrovich, Pavel Pavlovich, etc.

You should not name your son after one of the deceased relatives, especially if they did not die a natural death. This is highly discouraged.

Remember that children can be cruel, so give your son funny name It’s not worth it, because he might be offended. Think about him first.

It is very important to know the etymology, origin and meaning of the name, since you must know what you call the boy and whether he will be the “protector” Alexey, “like God” Mikhail or “vigilant” Gregory.

Also, when thinking about what you can name a boy, choose those names for which full and short forms are possible (Vladislav - Vlad, Vasily - Vasya) and which can be used in a soft children's form (Glebushka, Leshka, Leshenka, Lenechka, etc. ). If a boy grows up rude and cruel, then it is better to call him something affectionate, in a diminutive form, as often as possible.

Thanks to a name, certain qualities can be developed in a child. For example, if you want your son to become strong and purposeful, then choose names with paired voiced consonants, especially in combination with “r”: Igor, Georgy, Dmitry, Bogdan...

In order for a boy to grow up calm and sensitive, the most suitable names for boys will be those with many vowels or sonorant sounds: Alexey, Vitaly, Mikhail, Alexander, etc.

There are also names of boys that cannot be classified as either hard or soft, then the child will grow up balanced, and everything in him will be in moderation. These are names such as: Pavel, Roman, Arkady, Andrey and others.

First name combined with patronymic

It is important that the name chosen for your child is combined with his patronymic, because in adulthood he will be addressed officially, so the question “how to name a boy by his patronymic” is quite relevant.

First of all, the name must correspond to the “nationality” of the patronymic. Therefore, if the father has a Slavic name, then you should not call your son too “foreign”, for example: John Vasilyevich.

Also, if the middle name is quite long, then a short name for the child will be most suitable: Lev Vasilyevich, Gleb Konstantinovich, etc. Names equal in size to the middle name will sound good: Vladislav Nikolaevich.

It is equally important that the middle name be sonorous, therefore, if the child’s middle name begins with a consonant, then choose a name that ends with a vowel and vice versa. Avoid junctions of consonants at the end of the name and at the beginning of the patronymic: Nazar Romanovich.

Combination with surname

How to name a child so that his first name goes with his last name? Do not forget that in addition to the patronymic, the child also has a surname, so the chosen name should be in harmony with it. If the surname is undecidable, then you should not call your son the name “unisex”, since it will be difficult for a person to determine by ear whether you are talking about a man or a woman (Sasha Velk, Zhenya Kozak), if you call the child affectionately. If the surname is inclined and by it you can understand who we are talking about, then call the child whatever you want, within reason, it will sound clear and beautiful: Zhenya Ryzhiy and Zhenya Ryzhaya - it’s absolutely clear where the boy is and where the girl is.

Depending on the time of year

I think you have noticed that people born at one time or another have some common qualities. And this is true, because somehow the time of year affects the character of the child. We will tell you how to name a boy born at one time or another of the year.

Boys born in winter are quite cold, purposeful, have iron willpower, perseverance, and strong character.

To balance the hard qualities of a winter baby, you should give him a beautiful soft name with sonorant and vowel sounds.

Spring boys can be too soft and fickle, but at the same time they are smart and sensual. Therefore, it would be preferable to call them by a solid name with consonants.

If your son was born in the summer, then give him a melodious, soft name, as such boys can be overly persistent and proud.

Autumn boys are the most balanced, logical, reasonable, and calm, so any name will suit them, but romantic playful names will sound especially beautiful.

Depending on date of birth

If you don’t know what to name your son and want to rely on fate, then you can name your boy in honor of the saint on whose day he was born.

You just need to open the church calendar and see on which saint’s day your child was born.

This will not only make choosing a name easier, but will also provide your baby with the protection of a saint for life.

We hope that we were able to make it easier for you to choose a name for your boy and suggest suitable ones. We wish you to choose the right name and give birth healthy baby!

Pavel is a common male name in the 60-70s in Russia and is gradually gaining popularity at the present time. It has Latin roots and means “small”, “junior”, “insignificant”, “baby”, “modest”.

When the first thing parents think about is what it should be called. Some call the child the first one that comes to mind, others try to come up with something interesting, and still others check church holidays. Today we will talk about the importance of a name for a woman, why it is so important not to follow fashion, and whether you should pay attention to your patronymic and surname.

The influence of a name on the fate of a child

Almost all parents come up with a name for the child even before his birth, or immediately after it, but this does not allow him to name the baby so that his nickname suits him. Since there is a belief that it is dangerous to reveal the name of a newborn before a certain age, you can take advantage of this and wait a little. If the baby does not have a nickname, then it is impossible to jinx him, no matter how strange it may sound.

After some time, the child’s character will emerge, based on which you can come up with a suitable nickname that will definitely suit him.

Separately, it is worth mentioning fashion, which puts a stigma on children. For example, you like a sensational TV series, and you decided to name your daughter Daenerys after the main character. Now think about what her peers and teachers will call her at school, what the abbreviated name will be and how it will be combined with her patronymic and surname. In a decade, everyone will forget about the series, and the nickname will not go away, so before you name your daughter or son after the movie character, try it on yourself.

Important! Remember that father and son or mother and daughter should not have the same name.

We name the child by date of birth

There are couples who want to give their baby a name that corresponds to a certain time of year, so next we’ll talk about how to name a child born in summer, winter, autumn, or spring.

Winter. Children born in winter are distinguished by their persistent character and determination, but they suffer from problems associated with finding a soul mate. Soft options are suitable for winter children (Ilya, Svetlana).

Spring. Spring children are quite selfish, and their main problem is indecision. They are not distinguished by firmness and perseverance, therefore they require a firm nickname in order to harmonize their inner world. These include Diana, Igor, Dmitry, Daria.

Summer. Summer children are distinguished by their determination and active attitude. They are always in harmony with their inner world, so they can be called by any nickname.

Autumn. Autumn children are stingy with emotions, they are practical and prone to making quick decisions. To add softness to the character, long romantic names should be used, such as Vladislav,.

Separately, it is worth mentioning that many parents are concerned about the question of whether children are named after the months of the year. This was practiced during the times of the USSR, but at the moment such nicknames have completely disappeared, so if you call a girl Sentyabrina or a boy August, this will lead to ridicule and excessive attention.

Did you know? The longest name consists of 1,478 letters, representing one huge word that contains the names of historical places, famous personalities, and scientists. To read it, you need to spend at least 10 minutes.

Name according to the church calendar

Many mothers are interested in what child names can be used to name a child who was born in one or another church holiday. This practice is not something new, but it is worth understanding that most of the names are Old Slavonic and are therefore not often used.

To pick up church name for the baby, you should look into the collection of calendars. The church celebrates several saints each day, so you have several options to choose from. However, it happens that a child is born during a major holiday, for example, St. Andrew the First-Called, then it is better to give preference to this particular name, especially since it is common.

Important! Even if the baby is born earlier or later than the holiday, the name of the saint can be used.

It is worth remembering that the church name should not conflict with the above principles of choice, that is, it is impossible for the son and father to have the same name, otherwise they will constantly quarrel.

Baby name relative to horoscope

Astrologers believe that the correct name, which corresponds to the zodiac sign, can protect a person and give him strength to overcome obstacles. However, the problem is that most of the proposed options are Old Slavonic and, accordingly, outdated. For example, if you had a girl whose horoscope is Sagittarius, then you will be offered inappropriate options, such as: Aza, Alevtina, Louise, Seraphim, etc.

Also, many currently popular names are repeated in many zodiac signs. For example, Victoria can be used for girls who were born under the zodiac sign of Virgo, Libra, or Scorpio. It turns out that the most common names are simply universal, which is why they are worn by many children and adults.

It is worth mentioning separately that there are a huge number of similar tables of names compiled according to the horoscope. Anyone can write their own unique list, which will not be supported by anything. For this reason, you should not think that the strange nickname that your zodiac sign offers you can really help your child succeed in life.

Now you know why you shouldn’t call your child strange names, as well as nicknames of people who have some popularity in our time. Remember that a name can ruin a person’s life, so direct your creativity in a different direction. Don't forget that complex names are often misspelled, so your son or daughter may have problems with documents in the future. Listen to common sense, and not to the words of acquaintances and friends.

All parents face the question of how to name their child correctly. And it is advisable to make a choice before his birth, since parents are given only a month after birth to register their baby. Choosing a name is an interesting and enjoyable task. But you need to approach its decision with all responsibility. After all, a person’s name largely determines his character, temperament, and perhaps even his destiny. So what to name the child?

How to name your unborn child

When choosing a name for their unborn child, parents first of all think about how the name sounds, what it means and what it symbolizes. Many parents following new fashion trends, babies are named after popular actors or movie characters. Some people prefer American and European names. But most parents still choose names that are common in Russia. If you are thinking about what name to name your child, to make your search easier, consider the options for names that you can choose.

If you prefer to name your baby one of the popular names in Russia, then keep in mind that the fashion for names is constantly changing. For example, the most common names among adults in Russia are male names Alexander, Sergey, Dmitry, Andrey, Alexey, Maxim, Evgeny and Ivan, as well as women - Anastasia, Elena, Olga, Natalya, Ekaterina, Anna, Tatyana and Maria. At the same time, in the choice of names for newborns, the leading names for boys are now Yaroslav, Nikita, Daniil, Kirill, Artem, Maxim, Matvey, Mark and Egor. For girls, parents most often choose the names Sophia, Eva, Milena, Polina, Arina, Alisa, Kira and Anastasia. Perhaps one of them will suit your baby.

If you want to find a rare name for your baby, not similar to others, I will give you examples of such rather extravagant names that modern parents choose: boys are called Vladlen, German, Rodion, Arsen, Lev and Yan, and girls are Renata, Angelika, Vitalina , Albina, Stella, Snezhana, Eleonora, Lada, Elvira, Nora, Tamila, Elina, Dana and Nonna.

If you want to find a beautiful name among European ones, then, for example, in Germany the most common names are Leon and Mia, in France Luke and Emma, ​​in Spain Daniel and Lucia, as well as Jan, Lucas, Oliver, Christopher, Julia, Olivia, Maria , Lara and others.

Among American names, the most popular are Madison, Isabella, Samantha, Ashley, Jacob, Michael, Matthew, Daniel, Christopher, Joseph and William. Americans prefer to choose Protestant names associated with the Bible, and some of them actually sound good in the Russian interpretation.

If you don’t mind, find a beautiful name among biblical characters, or among saints Orthodox Church, look at the church calendar. You can take any name you like from there. Or you can give the baby the name of the saint on whose day he was born. The decision to name the child church calendar- this is a good choice. This is what our grandparents did. It is believed that the saint on whose day the child was born and after whom he is named will always protect him, protect him and help him in difficult situations. If you did not find in the church calendar on your child’s birthday a suitable name, take the name of the saint on one of the following days. The Church does not recommend taking the name of a saint from the days preceding the birth of a child.

If the church name seems outdated to you, you can choose a more modern one, and at baptism give the child the church name of his patron saint. It is believed that if the name that a child receives during baptism is not known to anyone except his godparents, this makes the person more protected from envy and slander.

What not to call a child

In principle, you can choose any of the names you like, but it is still not recommended to name your baby after a relative or friend who lived a hard life, died from illness or an accident. It is believed that a child named after a certain person can repeat his fate. You also cannot name a baby after an older child who died.

If you decide to name your child after a relative whom you love and respect very much, who lived a long, happy life, and left behind pleasant memories, why not. Especially if the child really has something to be proud of.

But be sure to think about how well the name combines with the surname and patronymic. What do the initials look like? Isn’t it possible that something funny or offensive happens so that the child’s name does not become an object of ridicule in the kindergarten or school? You should not choose a name that you personally associate with your favorite character from the book, but real life sounds ridiculous. It is also better to avoid names that are too long and difficult to pronounce. As for the rest... think, consult with your family and friends, use your imagination, and choose the name that will delight you and your baby.

The period of waiting for a baby is the best time in the life of a young couple. A very short time will pass, and another member will appear in the family, who, with his presence alone, will completely change the life of his parents. Tiny feet will stomp around the house, and hands will reach for everything that the baby likes.

But the period of waiting for a future miracle is usually associated with one problem - what to call the treasure that will very soon be born? Such a solution, based on the date of birth (a girl or a boy, is not so important), although it seems simple, is actually a rather difficult task.

In such a matter as choosing a name for a future baby, it is necessary to take into account some very important nuances, so as not to spoil the child’s life in the future with your short-sightedness and not to make him suffer for many years due to a rash and hastily made decision.

What influences the choice of name?

A lot of disputes arise among future parents about this. Numerous friends, relatives and acquaintances are involved in resolving the issue. Everyone strives to make their contribution to the matter of choosing a name, because it is not for nothing that it is believed that it determines the future life of a little man.

Moreover, it is not only the consonance with the surname and patronymic that is important. It is believed that to some extent a name can influence the character and health of a future member of society. The right choice, according to many, will give the baby the opportunity to acquire best qualities character and achieve more in life.

A tribute to fashion trends when choosing a name - a parental mistake

A lot depends on how to name a child (not all parents choose a name based on the date of birth. For many years, since the beginning of the era of communism, it was fashionable to give the baby ridiculous-sounding names that reflect the events of that time. How many people have their lives ruined by such a tribute to fashion !

It’s scary to even imagine what it was like for Dazdraperma Ivanovna, who was born on May 1 and received such a terrible name - a derivative of the name of this holiday (“Long live the First of May”), brought into our lives by this era! Life turned out no better for Electrification, the Five-Year Plan, and Stalin, although in those days such absurdities were original, and at the same time they provided the child with a ghostly “bright future.”

What choices are there?

But times change, and at the same time stupid innovations fade into the background, returning to the world old, time-tested traditions when choosing a name. Of the huge number of methods that carry a solution to such a question as to what to name a child (by date of birth, for example), several of the most common can be identified.

Very often, when choosing a name for a newborn, a tribute to memory is used. In this case, the baby is given the name of the person who played a big role in the parents’ lives. This could be a fairly close friend or relative, or a popular person, an athlete, a politician, a singer or an actor. But when deciding on this method of choice, one should keep in mind that there is a risk that the child will repeat the fate of the person in whose memory he received his name.

Also, quite often, babies are named after the calendar, or Orthodox calendar. This method has existed since ancient times, and many parents turn to it. The solution to the question of how to name a child by date of birth according to the church calendar is very simple in this case, because there are a huge number of beautiful, sweet-sounding and still relevant names.

On a day appropriate to the date of birth, the memory of many saints is honored, which makes it possible to select the name you like. Using this method, you can choose the names of those saints whose memory is honored not only on but also on the 8th or 40th day. After all, “eight” is a symbol of eternity, and the number 40 is intended to mean How to name a child by date of birth? The church calendar will help young parents decide.

The contribution made by astrology and numerology to the issue of choosing a name

The selection of a suitable name in accordance with the signs of the zodiac or its numerical value is also very popular. Many parents, when deciding such a burning issue as to name their child, based on date of birth and some other data, rely on numerology and astrology. From the point of view of these sciences, the combination of sounds in the name, as well as suitable sign Horoscopes allow you to both strengthen and weaken some features in the child’s character.

Many people pay great attention to the meaning of the name. In this case, parents use dictionaries of personal Russian names, which contain all the necessary information about the meaning, as well as the origin of one or another of them. The most useful and most popular in this case were the publications of such authors as A.V. Superanskaya, N.A. Petrovsky.

Secrets of the popularity of Old Church Slavonic names

Now the meanings of most of the old names that were popular among the ancient Slavs, both female and male, have ceased to be a sealed secret. Their meaning became clear to any person, even at the level of intuition.

For the most part, they carry a positive meaning and good energy. Take, for example, names such as Yaroslav - “bright glory”, or Lyudmila - “dear for people.” They are not only known to everyone without exception, but also very popular.

What meanings are hidden in names that came from antiquity?

When deciding how to name a child by date of birth (a boy, for example), many modern parents will prefer to name him Vladislav (possessing glory), Vsevolod (possessing everything) or Lyubomir ( to those who love the world, peace-loving). And for the girl they will choose no less euphonious names - Svetlana (fair), Snezhana (white-haired), Milana (sweet). Such names have very kind energy and are pleasant to the ear.

Old names, known from the history of the ancient Slavs, are very flattering for most parents. After all, if you follow these traditions and name the child by date of birth, boys can be given such magnificent names as Yaroslav, Svyatoslav, Rostislav, Mstislav, Igor and Vyacheslav. These names are great Russian princes. In addition, they are also included in all church calendars.

The connection between the first name and the last name and patronymic

When parents are asked the question of what to name their child, it is better to use the date of birth and patronymic first. It should be taken into account that the name must be combined with the patronymic so that they not only sound decent, but are also pronounced easily, without any distortion.

After all, such difficult-to-pronounce combinations, such as, for example, Alexander Alexandrovich, are often remade into the simplest ones - San Sanych, thereby changing, from the point of view of numerology, the fate of the person named so, and also causing him some inconvenience.

In addition, the chosen name should go well with the surname and sound harmonious. After all, such a combination as Juliet Ivanova or Rodrigo Gorshkov is completely unsuccessful and will bring nothing but ridicule to the person wearing them. Any exotic name will go well with a surname that is rare for Russians.

Affectionate form of name and initials. Is it important to take them into account?

You should also pay attention to the fact that the chosen name should have several diminutive options that sound quite harmonious. For example, Tatyana - Tanya, Tanyusha, Tanechka. If there is no short name, the kids will still come up with one. But it is absolutely not a fact that the bearer of the name will like such an invention.

Initials, which are always present when a person writes their data, also have undeniable importance in the case when future parents decide what to name their child. Whether they are guided by date of birth or not is not so important. Although it would seem that this is a small thing - initials. But this little thing can cause very big troubles.

You should definitely pay attention to whether the initials add up to something indecent or ugly.

Psychologists who study how a name affects the character of a particular person make the following recommendations.

1. Children who were born in winter time, the most suitable names are melodious and soft, containing a large number of vowels and Names bearing such consonance are designed to smooth out the “severity” that is present in winter children. And when deciding such a question as to what to name the child (you should also be guided by the date of birth), for children born during this period, you should focus on such names as Veniamin or Liliana, Miroslav, Arseny, Vitalina and others like them .
2. Spring children are best suited for tougher names that will give them strength and self-confidence. They should highlight sounds such as z, r, zh, g, d. Good options would be Grigory, Rostislav, Zlata, Bozena, Robert.
3. For babies born in summer, the most good option There will be sonorous ones, for example, Nazariy, Maryana, Zlata. They add purposefulness and activity to the character of the person wearing them.
4. For autumn, you should consider simple and calm names. Children of this season are true realists, so the warmth and calmness that the names Polina, Ippolit, Antonina and Vadim give will certainly please the baby.

There are many ways to choose a name for a child, but in any case, do not forget that with it the baby also receives his future destiny.
