And so you will practice pronunciation, and learn to comprehend English by ear. first and last names in English It's better to start with the most popular American names. For example, on the basis of the most common or by the names of popular actors and actresses. At the same time, these words are much easier to learn than ordinary vocabulary, for several reasons:

• Easy to find in text as they are spelled with capital letters
• In oral speech, they are pronounced with a different intonation than the rest of the words.
• No need to translate
• Pronunciation is not so difficult, all the more if these are the initials of famous personalities, then they are always heard

But sometimes the pronunciation is different from the spelling. As a rule, in such rare words, pronunciation depends on the genesis.

Origin of American names and surnames

American given name and name today can have many origins.

Names, for example, are most often borrowed from other languages:

• Celtic - Airic, Dylan, Ryan
• Arab - Omar, Sarah, Jamal
• Germanic - Arnold, Ebrina, Herwin
• Aramaic - Joseph, Bethany, Simon
• Jewish - Adam, Rose, Samuel

These are the beautiful words they call children in the United States.

But the genesis of surnames depends somewhat on other factors:

• Occupation or Profession: Cheeseman, Proper, Smith
• Personal names: Atkins, Williamson, Hughes
• Place of residence: Green, Garden, Wood
• Nicknames: Cruikshank, Makepeace, King

You should also know that in the English, unlike the Russians, the first name and patronymic name are always written first, and then the last name: Elvis Aaron Presley. By the way, the middle name may or may not be called at all or designated by one letter.

So much is told about the culture or traditions of England, but it is quite rare to learn about English names... And the topic, by the way, is very amusing. After all, the naming system globally differs from the one we are used to.

If we have a name and surname, then in England it is a little different. They have a first name, middle name, and last name. In addition, in England it is considered normal to give diminutive forms of the name. For example, even in formal negotiations, a person may be called Tony, although his full name sounds like Anthony. If desired, the child can be immediately recorded with a diminutive name and the state will not mind. Moreover, as a name, you can take almost any word or name - for example, the name Brooklyn. But if they tried to name their son, for example, Novosibirsk, they would hardly have given permission to do so.

System of English names and surnames

Each of us is already accustomed to the fact that he is the bearer of the surname, name and patronymic. But for the British, such a scheme is not suitable, their naming system is absolutely unusual and therefore curious. The main difference between our systems is the absence of a middle name y. Instead, they have a surname, first name and middle name. Moreover, as any of these two names, an Englishman can wear the names of some stars or even his ancestors. Although there is no strict requirement for a person to have only three of these points. Any Englishman can give a child a name from several names or surnames. For example, if you want to name it after a whole football team at once.

This tradition - to give a person a surname as a first name - has come down to our days from noble families. Although the history of the system of English names developed quite actively, borrowings were made from various countries, and names were mixed from the Angles, Celtic tribes, Franco-Normans. Since the Anglo-Saxons initially had only one name, they tried to attach special importance to it. Therefore, in the composition of ancient names, one could find words such as wealth or health. Old English female names were most often composed using adjectives, the most common variation being Leof (dear, beloved). And after the Norman invasion of England, a surname was gradually added to the name, making it already close to the system of names existing today. The old Anglo-Saxon names gradually began to disappear and due to the influence of the Christian religion, the Christian schools that opened everywhere actively stimulated the registration of newborns who received a name at baptism, so the names changed slightly: from Mary to Mary, from Jeanne to John.

Modern English names

In English names, petting and diminutive forms are very common as an official name. In our country, this form is allowed only with personal, close communication. For example, take at least someone familiar to everyone - Bill Clinton or Tony Blair. They are called by such names even in world negotiations, and this is absolutely acceptable. Although in fact Bill's full name is William and Tony is Anthony. The British are allowed to register a newborn child by giving him a diminutive name as the first or second. Although there are no special prohibitions on choosing a name in English-speaking countries as such, you can give a child a name in honor of a city or region. So, for example, the star couple Beckham did, Victoria and David gave their son the name Brooklyn - it was in this area of ​​New York that he was born.

Gradually, fashion began to change and names in English-speaking countries were often borrowed from different languages. Since the 19th century, many such female names have appeared, such as Ruby, Daisy, Beryl, Amber and others. Names from Spain or France were readily used - Michelle, Angelina, Jacqueline. But the tendency of some people to give their children unusual names has not disappeared anywhere. Bill Simser, vice president of Microsoft, gave his daughter the name Vista Avalon. The first part of the name is in honor of Windows Vista, and the second part is in honor of the codename for the Avalon system. But director Kevin Smith decided to name his daughter Harley Quinn - that was the name of the girl from the Batman comics.

By the way, not every owner likes such unusual names. Many children are embarrassed by this and are looking forward to coming of age to officially change their name. Little Pixie Geldof, who is the daughter of musician Bob Geldof, was very shy about the prefix "little" at the beginning of her name and in adulthood chose to call herself simply Pixie. But what a resident of New Zealand, whose name is Bus # 16, will do with his name, it is even difficult to imagine. The imaginations of his parents can only be envied.

The Russian language, great and powerful, is replete with funny surnames, from which their owners would gladly get rid of, if it was their will. And in this list all sorts of Round, Bezuglov, Short, Soft surnames are just flowers. There is also much more dissonant. The owner and especially the owner of such a surname will have hard times in life. Fortunately, Russian law allows any citizen who has reached a certain age to change both first and last names. It remains only to choose the most suitable one. So, we choose beautiful surnames for girls.

Russian surnames

The surnames of noble families sound beautiful. Rather, it’s not even a matter of euphony, but of our associations - from the course of history, I remember that this genus was successful / rich / noble. And therefore the surname seems attractive. Examples of noble surnames for girls:

• Vorontsov;
• Derzhavin;
• Romanov;
• Goncharova;
• Larionova;
• Orlova;
• Davydova;
• Donskaya;
• Obolenskaya;
• Martynov;
• Isaeva;
• Avdeeva;
• Gusev;
• Grigoriev;
• Kovalev;

The names of famous people, for example, poets and writers, usually evoke good associations. So the names of Pushkin, Nekrasov, Akhmatova, Chernyshevskaya can decorate any name.

Surnames formed from nouns and adjectives

Queen. Exactly like this, through the letter "E". Isn't it beauty? Clever girl. Gorgeous. You can take any surname, just do not forget that your children can get it. So it's still better to be prudent. Surnames formed from nouns must be non-declining: Panther, Fashionista, Beauty.

Beautiful surnames formed from adjectives: Solnechnaya, Snezhnaya, Rainbow, Affectionate, etc.

Foreign surnames

You can choose the last name of your favorite foreign writer or actor, for example:

• Osten;
• Bradbury;
• Pete;
• Fleming;
• Adams;
• Alexander;
• Argan;
• Rem;
• Chandler;
• Kramer;

It is important to watch that the surname is harmoniously combined with the name (and preferably also with the patronymic). That is, Ekaterina Adams or Angelica Fleming - sounds beautiful, but Avdotya Roberts - somehow not very much.

Double surnames

Two ordinary surnames, combined into one, often magically become at least twice as euphonic. Let's remember examples famous people with double surnames:

• Grigoriev-Apollo;
• Fedoseev-Shukshin;
• Saltykov-Shchedrin;
• Melnikov-Pechersky;
• Mamin-Sibiryak;
• Soloviev-Sedoy;
• Novikov-Priboy;
• Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky;

So you don't have to reinvent the wheel and add something else to your last name. For example, dig in the family tree- perhaps there will be a wonderful couple to your last name.

• Ivanova-Ilyinskaya;
• Zarudneva-Preobrazhenskaya;
• Sergeeva-Beletskaya;
• Dolgovo-Saburovs;
• Kuzmin-Korovaevs;
• Rimsky-Korsakov;
• Skornyakovo-Pisarev;
• Ivanchins-Pisarevs;

It's useless to argue with the magic of double surnames.

You can always change something in your life, even your surname. Beautiful surnames for girls- it's like the "clothes" on which you will be met. It is easier for a girl in this regard, if in childhood she did not like her surname, then later she can always change it when she gets married. However, it often happens that a girl with a dissonant surname marries a man whose name is also far from a fountain. Paradoxical, but true. You will not look for a husband specially with a beautiful surname, live not with her, but with a man. Do not be discouraged, you can always change your surname yourself at the passport office.
