Name day. How to choose the most suitable name for a boy. Meaning of original male names

The birth of a long-awaited baby is an amazing miracle that the whole family is looking forward to. Already after the second ultrasound, excited parents know who they will be born with, and in the following months of waiting for birth, they are actively thinking about the name they will give their baby.

Popular wisdom says

As you know, the most superstitious people in the world are brides and pregnant women. Expectant mothers, preparing to psychologically protect their child from trouble, try to follow all the rules and signs that came from ancient times, believing in their sacred power and protective abilities.

We would like to note that non-compliance will in no way mean that trouble can happen, however, we will nevertheless give some of them, and you yourself decide to believe in their strength or not.

A son should not be named after his father

This sign is explained in different ways. Some old-timers argue that namesakes living in the same house will live off each other. This is explained by the fact that when baptized with a name, the baby is given a guardian angel who guards him, and he will not be able to save two blood relatives living under the same roof with the same names.

Psychics related to magic claim that people with consonant names and patronymics often take the worst character traits from their fathers, aggravated several times.

Despite this legend, history remembers many famous and talented people named after their fathers, for example, Alexander Alexandrovich Blok (Russian poet), Nikolai Nikolaevich Raevsky (Russian commander and war hero), Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (President of the Russian Federation).

A son should not be named after a recently deceased

This sign says that a child named after a deceased family member may inherit his fate or never marry. Therefore, it is not customary to name children after drunkards, mentally ill people or suicides. You can name your son in honor of his grandfather, whose fate was good, it is believed that luck and happiness in life are inherited through a generation.

The name given at baptism must be different from the "earthly" name

Healers say that the name given during the baptismal ceremony must be different from the one recorded on the birth certificate. The baptized name should be kept in the strictest secrecy and not shared with anyone. This is due to magical rituals to induce damage and love spells, which are done in the baptismal name.

It is important to note that the ministers of the church and priests are categorically against various signs and superstitions, considering them "the offspring of Satan," therefore many of them refuse to give at baptism a name different from that recorded in the baby's birth certificate.

If you really want to name your son in honor of your husband or deceased grandfather, but after reading the first two signs, you have doubts, the third sign will help dispel your doubts. Feel free to write down the name of your husband in the son's birth certificate, and baptize with any other name, thus breaking a possible negative karmic connection.

Name and stars

Many parents in the question of how to name a boy are guided by the advice of astrologers. 2018 is the year of the Yellow Dog according to the eastern horoscope. For boys born in this year, the stars predict the presence of talent, ingenuity, agile character and natural cunning.

In addition to the eastern horoscope, the fate of a person and his character traits are determined by the zodiac sign and the ascendant (the ascending zodiac sign at the time of the child's birth). Depending on this sign, astrologers advise to choose the sonority of the name.

Fire element in the ascendant (Signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius)

Born boys under similar circumstances have vivid traits of impulsiveness, perseverance and leadership in character. They are powerful and ambitious individuals. The “fiery” male name must contain the sounds “A” and “R” - Arthur, Alexander, Artem, Mark, Ruslan, Arkady, Eldar. It is believed that the correct name will bring good luck to the baby.

Earth element in the ascendant (Signs of Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo)

Boys born under the earth signs in the ascendant are distinguished by conservatism, constancy and solidity, therefore they are usually called the generic names of their parents' forefathers. It is believed that "calm" names with the presence of deaf consonants "P" "U" "F" and "Sh" will be suitable for such babies - Peter, Ostap, Philip, Procopius, Timofey. Methodius.

Air element in asendent (Signs of Libra, Aquarius and Gemini)

Children with air signs in the ascendant are very sociable, calm and charismatic. There are always a lot of friends and acquaintances around such guys, they are the soul of the company. Suitable names for such boys will be names with bright and sonorous sounds "S" "E" "I" "N" "Z" - Zinovy, Sergei, Zakhar, Ignat, Savely, Evgeny.

Water element in the ascendant (Signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio)

People who have water marks in the ascendant are mysterious, temperamental, emotional and spiritually strong. Their name should contain soft sounds "L", "T", as well as "O" "I" "Y" - Julius, Valentine, Ilya, Moisey, Oleg.

Name and month of birth

There is a theory that says that a child born in a certain season is endowed with qualities inherent in a given season. The task of a properly chosen name is to mitigate the shortcomings, balancing them with the advantages and positive characteristics inherent in a particular sound:

Name according to the Orthodox calendar

Parents often turn to Orthodox priests for advice and blessing in choosing a name for their child. Priests in this matter are guided by the Church calendar of the Saints (a list of names of saints, which are distributed by dates, each of which is a church holiday).

It is believed that with the choice of a name for a boy in honor of the holy elder, a close sacred connection is established between them. The child accepts the protection and patronage of the saint throughout his life. The name is selected by the date of birth of the child, if no suitable names were found on that day, then you can select those indicated in the calendar on the eighth or fortieth day from the birth of the baby.

Society is imposing the opinion that such an unusual year is not considered a happy and successful year for a person. But not only the year has the right impact on the future life of the child and his characteristic personality traits. Each parent has a reasonable question: how to name the boy in 2016?

The nature of the child born in 2016 of the Monkey

Children who happen to be born in the Year of the Fire Monkey will have such qualities as purposefulness and positiveness, they will not be lazy in their studies and work, they can be relied on, in a difficult situation they will become a help and support. However, in some cases it will be difficult to find a common language with individual representatives; they are capable of slander, betrayal.

Name for a child born in a leap year 2016

Each parent wants to choose names for both girls and boys, helping and protecting the child throughout life. At the same time, it should be euphonic, memorable for the people around and beautiful. To make the right decision, you should follow some guidelines:

• It is recommended to speak with relatives or friends to find out their views and preferences. Perhaps this fact will help solve the dilemma of how to name the boy.
• You can look for names that were popular in the old days, this will help make it unusual and unique in society. Creative parents should understand that an exotic name will become a patronymic for their grandchildren in many years, so it should be easy to use.
• It is necessary to pay attention to the Church calendar, which prescribes the name day by day. It is believed that names with double vowels or consonants included (for example, Cyril or Philip) can give their owners two guardian angels at once. In some families, at the time of the sacrament of baptism, they choose the names for the boys, marked in the calendar, and in ordinary life they call the baby differently. This is considered a talisman.
• You cannot choose a name for a newborn boy if it is associated with the death of relatives who were seriously ill or suffered during their lifetime, because it is believed that the child can inherit their fate.

Choosing a name for a child depending on the season

It is surprising that such a fact as the influence of the season on the character of the personality being laid is becoming. Each season is able to leave its own "imprint" on the child. Knowing what characteristic features can be reflected in the character of the baby due to the time of year when the boy was born, you can make an effort to further correct his nature.

It is believed that men born in winter are strict and merciless, like three months of cold. However, they are very purposeful, possessing tremendous willpower, perseverance. Such people will achieve their goals by any methods and means. In order to soften the tough character of the wayward child a little, he should be given a "smooth" name.

Guys born in the spring, on the contrary, are fickle, easy-going, flexible. They do not differ in the character of a true fighter and are often not confident in themselves or their abilities. A hard name is chosen to give the hardness.

A child who made his parents happy on a hot summer day also has his own differences from his peers. Boys will be proud, persistent and confident in each of their actions. Summer children are always considered active and courageous, overcoming any obstacles in their life path. To prevent excessive persistence from preventing the boy in the future, it is worth choosing a gentle name for him that can soften him.

Autumn babies are also very energetic, like those born in the summer. However, this activity turns the other side, reflecting rationality, enterprise and logic. Boys born in the autumn have an analytical mindset, cold-bloodedness and a calm disposition. A distinctive feature will be realism in all matters; to soften the overall picture, you can choose a soft romantic name for the child.

Choosing a name for a long-awaited baby is not an easy and very responsible matter, especially when it comes to a boy - the heir and successor of the family. Many parents choose a name for a child based on his euphony and personal preferences. Some consult with relatives and friends, deciding at the family council how to name the boy. And someone approaches this problem with all thoroughness, calculating the influence of various factors on the formation of certain character traits of a child in the future, taking into account the meaning of the name, date of birth, zodiac sign and other points.

Fashion trends 2016

This year belongs to the leap year, which many people consider not very successful and happy for a person. This fact can be perceived in different ways, but not only the year of birth influences the formation of personality. There are many other factors that, in one way or another, affect the future fate of the child. And one of them is the name chosen by the parents for the baby.

As in other areas of life, names also have their own fashion trends. When deciding how to name a baby, many parents are guided by this. The five most popular names for boys in 2016 included the following:

1. Arseny - usually calm, not too capricious, with an even character;
2. Artem - hardworking, sociable, moderately vain;
3. Dmitry - sociable, receptive to learning, a little stubborn;
4. Maxim - with a good imagination and a desire to learn about the world;
5. Matvey are conscientious, honest and responsible.

These male names are among the most popular this year. However, one should not forget about the leaders of the past. They are not going to give up their positions yet. Names such as Andrey, Nikita, Kirill, Yegor, Daniil are still quite in demand today.

Parental name selection

It often happens that a son is named after his father. According to psychologists, this is not the best option. Often these children become capricious and unbalanced personalities in the future. When they grow up, they themselves and the people around them may get the impression that their parents have no imagination when choosing a name. In addition, such names in combination with a similar patronymic usually sound a little cumbersome, as a result of which they are involuntarily shortened by others to be easier to pronounce. The most striking example of such a reduction is the situation when most people call Alexander Alexandrovich San Sanych.

Of course, to strengthen ties with your family, it's a good idea to name a boy after some ancestor. But in this case, the name of not the father, but the grandfather is more suitable, especially if he was a positive person with a good and easy fate. In addition, there are other options to give your son a name based on the name of the parents:

• take the constituent parts of the names of the father and mother, forming a new name from them;
• if the parents' names begin with the same letter, make the appropriate choice for the son;
• pick up a name from the existing ones, consonant with the names of both parents.

Attention! You need to be very careful before calling a child by the name of a deceased relative with a difficult and dysfunctional fate. Indeed, in this case, there is a possibility that the son can repeat the life line of his ancestor.

Boy's first name by patronymic and last name

Choosing a name for a baby can be very difficult to do. And whatever is chosen in the end, it should be combined with both the patronymic and the surname of the boy, and together with them form a sound series pleasant to the ear. When choosing how to name your son, the following points must be considered:

• for short patronymics it is better to choose long names and vice versa - Oleg Stanislavovich or Alexander Ilyich;
• excessive repetition in the name and patronymic of the same vowels and consonants is undesirable, an unfortunate option - Vyacheslav Vladislavovich
• it is easier to sound if the last letter of the name does not coincide with the first in the patronymic, as in the case when the person's name is, for example, Ivan Nikolaevich;
• the sound of the name and patronymic is difficult if there are several consonants in a row, for example, Alexander Dmitrievich;
• you should not select a foreign or rare name for a simple surname, this can cause bewilderment to those around you with the strange choice of the boy's parents, for example, John Petrov or Alfred Varezhkin;

It is hardly worth giving a foreign name to a boy with a simple Russian surname - such a combination would sound ridiculous.

• a name, an abbreviated version of which can be attributed to both female and male at the same time, does not fit well with a neutral surname without a clearly expressed gender, as is the case with the variants of Sasha Nesterenko or Zhenya Tkach;
• is not a good choice if the combination of the child's name and patronymic evokes associations with a famous person.

Council. When choosing a name for a boy, it is always necessary to remember that in the future it will serve as a patronymic for his children. Therefore, it should be easy to pronounce and sound beautiful. And of course, the name chosen by the parents should not cause bewilderment among others with its absurdity or discordance.

Choosing a name according to the church calendar

Many recently, as our ancestors did, choose a name for a child according to the Holy Calendar. To do this, just look in the church calendar, which saints are worshiped on the day the boy was born.

The choice of male names in the Holy Calendar is quite large, among them there are many of those that today are no longer used in everyday life, but quite suitable are also enough. If nothing came up by this date, then you can see the names corresponding to the eighth day from the birth of the baby - the time when it is customary to baptize the baby. The fortieth day from the date of birth is also suitable. It is believed that the saint, whose name is called the boy, patronizes him throughout his life, protecting him from possible dangers and protecting him from adversity.

What name to give to a son by date of birth

When choosing a name for a boy, one can also proceed from what time of the year the baby was born.

It is believed that most names are suitable for children born in the fall.

• Those born in the winter usually have a firmness of character, persistence in achieving goals and even some intransigence. In order to smooth out these features a little, it is better to give the child a smoother and more melodious name.

• Children born in the spring are talented and easy to learn, but can be indecisive in actions, so it is better for them to choose names that sound harder.
• Summertime boys are often kind and courageous. Names such as Ivan, Oleg, Vladimir, Dmitry, Stepan are suitable for them.

Choosing a name for a boy in numerology

According to numerology, each number has a specific meaning and has an impact on fate. To determine which name is suitable for a child in this science, you need to calculate the number of the date of birth, adding up all its components, until you get an unambiguous one. And then you need to look at the number that corresponds to the selected name. If these numbers correspond to each other, then it is believed that a person's character will be harmonious, and fate is easy enough.

When choosing a name for a boy, you should not rush or follow the lead of relatives. It is better to listen to your intuition and choose a name for the child with discretion, because it has long been noticed that it affects the fate of a person.

If you are expecting a male baby, then you will be interested in information about the names of boys by months for 2019 according to the Orthodox calendar. Since ancient times, it was believed that by naming a child the name of a saint, he acquires his own guardian spirit, which protects him from troubles, diseases, sins and failures throughout his life. The name can influence the character and future of a person, precisely because his choice is so important.

General information on names

So, if you decide to give your child an Orthodox name, then it will not be superfluous to know some rules. For example, you can name the baby by the name of the saint on whose memorial day he was born (but this is not at all necessary, you can just choose the one you like).

Or wait eight days and give the name that falls on him. After all, it was this rule that was guided in Russia in ancient times, children were given a name only on the eighth day from the moment of birth. If you don't really like the first two options, then there is a chance to choose a name on the fortieth day from the birth of the child.

When choosing a name, try not to make it too “old” and rare, as the baby, when he grows up, will feel far from comfortable in society.

If you still want to give your child an Orthodox name, but it is not at all modern, then let this be his second name, which is given at baptism. So you will give the desired protection to the baby and darken his future life with a too pretentious name. Christians perceive baptism as a second birth, so this day is just as important as the day of birth.

Below in the article, Orthodox names for boys will be listed by month. If you want to know the names of the saints by day, then it is better to contact the church for this question.
