Short male name. Male names

Greetings, dear readers! There is an opinion: what you call a child, this will be his life. Today there is a tradition of giving children rare foreign or old Russian names... Kindergartens and schools are filled with Seraphim, Ostap, Vladislav, etc. By the way, children are generally calm about such "inventions" of the parents of their comrades, because it is no longer "uncommon" to meet a rare name in a children's company. I suggest that you consider the names for boys, rare and beautiful, that will help you correctly name your heir.

• Before choosing a name for a boy, pay attention to its meaning. It happens that the option seems acceptable, sonorous, but its meaning prepares the child not the best fate or it is completely incomprehensible what it hints at. For example, Kondrat means "square". Do you want to call your baby that?
• Another criterion is to be consonant with the patronymic. Imagine that your toddler grows up and takes on a leadership position. What will his subordinates call him? The initials should be pronounced easily, without tension. If the middle name is long and difficult to pronounce, choose a short, melodic name, for example, Ilya Igorevich. But Konstantin Igorevich will not sound very pleasant, and it is quite difficult to pronounce.
• Make sure that the children do not laugh at the baby when he goes to kindergarten or school. True, today there are many children with unusual names, and it is difficult for adults to imagine how the word can be changed. And yet, be prepared to give your baby the most "harmless" possible.

If the parents are religious people, they can name the boy according to Orthodox calendar... Every day it is dedicated to certain saints, whose names are given to newborns.

If the deceased grandparents of the child were lucky or happy, then it was permissible to name the baby after them.

Unusual boy names. List of interesting names from around the world

Name popularity

Today, parents, when choosing a name for their baby, follow the so-called fashion. There is nothing wrong with this, because the main thing is that the name goes well with the surname and patronymic.

Nowadays, the names of boys are unusual, beautiful and rare, and all because they were once forgotten and only now have returned to fashion. And do not despair when you find out that in kindergarten there are already several children who are named the same as your child. It is important to believe that your little one will be proud to bear this name.

Often in a family where a male baby is expected, one of the most difficult problems becomes the choice of the name. Now they choose names for boys with a slightly "foreign" sound, and traditional Russians. But in any case, the choice should be weighed, depending on many criteria.

The most important thing

In pursuit of the best or prettiest of names, it is important not to miss the main thing:

• When choosing a name for a boy who will continue to give birth and protect family clan, it is important that in the future it becomes the basis of a good euphonious patronymic for grandchildren.
• Rare, strange, funny, meaningless boy names are negatively perceived by society. For example, the name of the hero of your favorite TV series can become the object of ridicule of a child in school and kindergarten.
• Psychologists advise against naming a child after a father. In addition to the everyday inconvenience with coincidence, this can be the cause of the nervous disorders of the future heir.

In honor of relatives

A peculiar tradition to name a boy as a sign of respect, gratitude, love for someone is an interesting idea. But will the owner of the name himself like it in the future? Here are some examples after whom male children are often named:

• A relative. It can be a dear grandfather, uncle, beloved godfather of one of the parents. Why not? The child will be the darling of a beloved relative, an object of care and protection.
• Deceased relative. Not the most best idea for superstitious parents. So it was customary among the people that a newborn in this case, on a subconscious level, will copy all the character traits and the fate of the deceased.

A child can be named after a man - an obstetrician who safely delivered childbirth, or any other person who once gave a helping hand, who played an important role in the fate of the father or mother of the unborn child. In any case, the decision must be balanced, agreed upon by both the father and the mother.

Seasons

The time of year when the birth of a child is planned affects the fate and character of the newborn.

Consider the names of boys born in different seasons:

• Winter. Arseny, Mikhail, Pavel, Alexey, Semyon, Valentin. Soft and calm names are necessary for a kind of compensation for the stubborn, strong, strong-willed nature of winter men.
• Spring. Here, more solid sounding will do, because spring children rarely have a lively character. To future child he was always confident in himself, he can be called Oscar, Boris, Timur, Viktor, Gleb.
• Summer. Active, proud, summer men love risk and freedom. Short, courageous ones are suitable for these people: Gleb, Roman, Denis, Anton, Mark.
• Autumn. Balanced realists, born in the fall, trust few people. The smart and calm boys of this time of year need sonorous names claiming attention: Nikolai, Sergei, Peter, Felix, German, Cyril.

Surname and patronymic

Parents who are sorting out names for a boy need to think about the euphony of the name in combination with the patronymic and surname of the child. Important role have consonants. These can be predominantly voiced or voiceless consonants. The name must contain the same consonant sounds as in the middle name or surname. For example, Matvey Semenovich Ivanov (predominance of noisy consonants) or Andreev Viktor Borisovich (solid consonants).

This combination is considered pleasing to the ear and pronunciation, and also makes communication with the owner easy and convenient. Many believe that short names boy are more suited to long surnames and vice versa.
