Trendy baby names.

Dadzdraperma. I mean, LOG LIVE THE FIRST OF MAY. Or, here Lachekamora- from the abbreviation of the phrase “CAMP CHELUSKINTS in the KARA SEA. How do you like this name for your daughter? Is it impressive? 🙂 Well, that certainly makes you shudder, doesn’t it?

Choosing a name for a child is a matter of special, “family” importance. Often all family members take part in this event, and often it can even lead to a scandal. 🙂 For example, a grandmother categorically disagrees with her granddaughter being called an unusual name that is foreign to her (grandmother’s) hearing. Threatens to disinherit. 🙂 And as a result, the child receives not the glamorous name Jane, but the more familiar Zhanna.

But still... If you take a less radical and extraordinary path, then how to choose a name for your beloved child? The child will live with him for many, many years!

But you want to choose a name for your child that is both sonorous, beautiful, and “not hackneyed,” right? Well, not like half the class. 🙂 Fortunately, children's names give the widest scope for imagination to any creative person.

I want to tell you today about one of these ways to come up with a beautiful, but at the same time original name for your child. Actually, everything here is actually quite simple, and I won’t reveal anything new to you. But there will be more than enough specifics! 🙂

So, a secret that is not a secret at all:

Look at the statistics: which names are most popular today and which ones are less popular. And do the opposite! :)

I mean, choose names that are at the bottom of the popularity list today. Where can I get such statistics? Yes, in the registry office, of course! Well, on “Children” too. 🙂 I will now present you with all the most important excerpts literally “on a platter”

However, the statistics from registry offices, nevertheless, do not seem so unusual. Over the past 5-6 years, there have been no major changes among parents when choosing a name for their child. If you believe the data of the relevant authorities, then mothers and fathers most often call their sons and daughters by the names indicated in this table.

The most unusual names of last year according to statistics from Moscow registry offices

Yes Yes. How could I do without the exotic? 🙂 Muscovites don’t forget about unusual names.

And oddly enough, this process is directly influenced by the political situation in the world.

So, one newborn was named Syria(at that time her father was in this Middle Eastern country for work). Other exotic names over the past three years have been:

  1. Sevastopol;
  2. Olympics;
  3. Byzantium;
  4. Moon;

  9. Mercury;
  10. Lutobor;
  11. Zaryanitsa;
  12. India;
  13. Rosiyana.

By the way... Insanity will not pass!

Such “inhuman” names for children, independently invented by parents, led to the fact that in November last year a special bill concerning names was proposed.

He must at the legislative level prohibit use in names people any symbols, numbers, punctuation marks.

Surprisingly, the authorities have realized the level of abuse on the part of parents when choosing a name for a child.

You may not believe me, but one boy was named by his parents BOCh rVF 260602

This means - B iological ABOUT object H person R Oh yeah IN Oronin- F rolovykh, born June 26, 2002 of the year.

Interestingly, he still cannot get documents in his name. And all because the registry office itself took up the task of protecting the interests of the child. The head of the department, Victoria Pashkova, is confident that parents should take choosing a name very seriously.

Not funny? Not funny. Scary! After all, a person will have to live with such a name, if not all his life, then for quite a long time. Being in a certain society, getting used to the opinions of strangers regarding your name.

Of course, the state cannot tell a person what to name his son or daughter. But the person himself needs to understand that there are certain limits of decency beyond which it is not recommended. At least for the sake of the future of their children. And if Lyutobor or Radostina don’t sound so ugly, then BOC rVF 260602...

Choosing a child's name is an almost magical procedure, shrouded in secrets and legends. Both in ancient times and today, many believe that there is a mystical connection between the name of a son or daughter and his fate. This is why future parents want to know, because they need to fully prepare for the birth of their little princess!

What to name a girl in 2016?

If you are guided by the eastern calendar, then the Year of the Monkey promises happiness and prosperity to little mischievous girls, more lively and smart than them and their followers of 2017. Girls - smart, playful, restless "monkeys" - cause a lot of trouble for their parents: they need vigilant supervision. In the future, they will “settle down”, become good housewives and devoted mothers who understand their kids well, but you won’t get bored with them as children!

They say that names with double consonants can somewhat balance the character: Anna, Alla, Rimma, Marianna, Melissa, Inna - if you are choosing what to name a girl in 2016, give them preference, and your daughter will become more flexible and obedient.

Foreign names are also trending today. Nowadays, few people will be surprised by the Gabriels, Miroslavs, Elsas, Louises, Camillas, Tsvetans, Marthas, etc. However, psychologists warn that the name should be in harmony with the surname and patronymic. The name, even the full one, should at least be easy to pronounce. Just imagine how Oktyabrina Bronislavovna or Ariadna Vyachestlavovna will feel when they become adults!

Combinations of first and last names are also important. What do you think of Yasmina Pereplyueva, Ulita Zalomova or Uma Naumova? It’s okay, some mothers and fathers think, when she grows up, she gets married and will still have her husband’s last name. Yes, that's bad luck! I had a teacher I knew whose last name was Zhivoderova. I really wanted to change my “non-teaching” surname. She got married and... became Shkurova! So it’s better to immediately select a harmonious combination: the more unusual the surname, the “simpler” the name.

Certainly, popular names for girls in 2016, according to the registry office, the same Katenkas, Oksanochkas, Lizonkas - dear, Russians who were always outside the class, suited both noblewomen and peasant women, and even today they caress the ear with their tenderness. However, the Year of the Monkey is unpredictable, so don’t be surprised when you hear that the newborn has been named something particularly pretentious: Giselle or Salamander, Mirinda or Dariga.

In recent years, girls are increasingly called by double names in the Western style: Sofia - Christina, Romana - Alevtina, Eva-Maria. It’s beautiful, of course, but don’t forget about the patronymic: foreign girls don’t have one, but here it happens – Elvira – Lucia Ivanovna Dobroplyasova.

How to name a girl according to the church calendar?

The tradition of naming girls according to the calendar in honor of the heavenly patroness continues to flourish today. Even if your daughter’s name is not in this book, do not despair; the name of the nearest saint will be written down in the Baptismal Certificate, and the baby will be named by that name.

The history of Orthodoxy is rich in deeds performed in the name of humanity by righteous women and holy martyrs. The names of Saint Matrona, Mary, the martyr Tatiana, Vera, Nadezhda, Love and their mother Sophia will be popular among those who choose what to name a girl in 2016.

Some priests themselves suggest which name to choose. For example, if the name day of a martyr and a saint are celebrated on the same day, then they propose to name it after the name of the saint. This is where the opinion came from that children should not be named after martyrs in general, because life would be hard. This is a superstition, because Orthodox saints are real passion-bearers. Such is their strength of spirit that thanks to it they overcame all hardships, physical and moral torment and showed the world an example of righteous life.

So feel free to call your babies Irins, Ariadnas, Barbarians, Veronicas and other beautiful Orthodox names that fall on the date of birth or date of baptism, for happiness and a long life!

The problem of choosing a name for a girl (rare and beautiful) 2016 by month, at first glance, does not seem serious. It would seem that picking it up would be as easy as shelling pears. However, parents often cannot make a choice, and sometimes they have no ideas at all.

Psychologists recommend being sensitive to the meaning of the name, referring to the accompaniment of the destiny corresponding to the name. Astrologers, in turn, advise, when choosing a name, to focus on the zodiac and eastern horoscopes.

Of course, first of all, parents wish their child a beautiful, rare, harmonious name with a good meaning. It is important that it is not too complicated, so that the girl remembers it and loves it. However, it is worth remembering that the name also has its own meaning and can influence the entire future life of a little person, including his character and habits.

Those who believe in symbolism are sure: a correctly chosen name in the future will be a good help in a successful career and a happy personal life. Psychologists conducted their own social experiments and found that the sound of a name can have a good impact on making various decisions in the modern world. Here are just a few factors that you definitely shouldn’t forget about when browsing..

Duplication

You should not give your child a name like his mother, aunt or grandmother, no matter how much others like it. According to psychologists, the child will subsequently feel uncomfortable in a family where there is already an older person with the same name, especially if they were named after the mother. Subconsciously, the girl will still compare herself with her and find flaws in herself. You should also not use the names of deceased family members or friends, no matter how significant they were. Without realizing it, a child can, to some extent, repeat in his life something from the fate of that person.

Surname

Of course, you shouldn’t forget about your middle name. Any beautiful name should be combined with it, because in the future, an already matured child will be named with the name of his father, especially if your child has a prestigious position. Therefore, many fathers, quite justifiably, wish their daughters names that are consonant with themselves. “Victoria Viktorovna” or “Yulia Yuryevna” appeared exactly like that.

Remember that choosing a obviously European name in an ordinary family, where the father is quite Slavic, is not recommended. Agree, “Milinda Igorevna”, at least, sounds strange.

It’s quite inconvenient when the last letter of your daughter’s name and the first letter of her middle name are the same. For example, “Anastasia Yanovna” or “Katerina Alekseevna”.

In addition, if the middle name is already supposed to be long, then the name will be short and simple. For example, “Inga Valerievna”.

You can use tables from websites; they will select options for successful combinations whennames for girls (rare and beautiful) 2016 by monthwill match the father's middle name.

Hardness with softness

According to some experts, the chosen hard names give girls stubbornness, firmness, uncompromisingness and willfulness, while modern, softer names, on the contrary, make their owners softer and more feminine.

Rare and beautiful girl names

It is very wrong to follow fashion trends when selectingnames for girls (rare and beautiful) 2016 by month. Fashion will pass, but the name will remain forever. We believe that there is no need to talk about the use of political slogans to form a name. It’s unlikely that anyone wants to name their child “Dognat”, “Peregnat”, “Mels”, etc.

The most popular names according to the survey results now: Valeria and Alina. Deservedly in second place are Christina, Maria, Victoria, Diana, and then Daria, Yulia and Angelina.

Character of a girl born in 2016

According to experts in this field, a name in combination with the eastern and zodiac horoscope can smooth out negative character traits and, on the contrary, enhance positive ones. But how to understand what a child will be like in the future? Astrologers conditionally divided everyone into four groups depending on the time of year in which the child was born.

Winter names

Girls born at this time of year often have a firm, unshakable and stern character. Sometimes it is these traits that create problems in relationships with other people. However, there are also positive aspects to this character. Such girls achieve their goals and differ from other children in their persistence and perseverance. Still, a girl sometimes needs tenderness and the ability to care, to show gentleness and calmness. Therefore, in order to balance the character of a winter girl, it is better to choose names such as Anastasia, Valentina, Vasilisa, Ksenia or Anna.

Spring names

Spring children are usually very active, mischievous and smiling. This helps them always find a common language with their peers. But since, in addition to activity, they have naivety and gullibility, many can take advantage of this. Also, such girls do not have enough assertiveness to achieve any goal. Therefore, in this case, it is better to choose a name that will add determination, the ability to understand people and calmness to their character. Alina, Angelina, Victoria, Daria are suitable for spring girls. These names, according to astrologers, will reveal all the positive qualities of the child, and, on the contrary, will smooth out the negative ones, thereby helping the child find harmony with himself and the world around him.

Summer names

Girls born in summer have such qualities as mobility, activity combined with determination. At the same time, the highlight of such girls is that they are prone to romanticism, daydreaming, and sensitivity. They always succeed at school and have an excellent career at work. However, the problem is that due to their emotionality and impressionability, they are susceptible to the influence of others. So that summer children can show resistance to the manipulations of people around them, astrologers recommend giving them the following names: Nellie, Christina, Maria, Irina, Olga.

Autumn names

Such girls are very neat, pedantic and responsible. Any goal and task will be achieved, so autumn girls usually have a good career, and not to the detriment of the family, since they are non-conflict, economical and affectionate. All this is combined with prudence, love for animals, kindness and calmness. Since such children tend to close themselves off in their own world, to be indecisive and stagnant, it is advisable to add a little emotionality and daydreaming to their character. In this case, such names as Alice, Elena, Sophia, Vera would be an excellent choice.

Choosing a name for a girl in Leap Year 2016

Leap year is a rather ambiguous period - some astrologers claim that children born this year will be unhappy and unlucky, while others, on the contrary, say that these are special children. However, as for 2016, many agree that the Monkey will protect such children and protect them from all kinds of adversity. Therefore, to choose a suitable name for a girl, you can be guided by general criteria, and not be afraid that the name can negatively affect the fate of the child.

So, we decided to highlight several basic principles that a girl’s name should meet in 2016:

  • consonance with the surname and patronymic. The monkey loves harmony and beauty, so the name and surname should be consonant and melodic. For example, if your last name is too long, then it is better to choose a short name, and vice versa.
  • meaning of the name. Unfortunately, many parents today do not pay attention to the meaning of the name, but are chasing fashion trends. But in vain. The name should reveal the child's strengths. Therefore, before naming a girl, carefully study the meaning of the name.
  • time. Today, more and more often, parents are trying to choose extraordinary and unusual names. However, you need to be very careful in this matter so that in the future the girl does not have to endure ridicule from her peers.
  • There is no need to name your child after anyone. According to astrologers, this can attract both the character and destiny of this person. But why should your child copy someone’s life if you can build your own story?

Character of a child born in the year of the Monkey

You can already guess that such girls will be quite mobile and active. All this is combined with good mental abilities and numerous skills. Such children cannot sit still and want to learn as much as possible about the world and people. They are extremely curious and inquisitive. As children, they will torment their parents with numerous questions: “Why?”, “Why?”, “What is this?” and so on. And already adult girls will amaze with their versatility, as they will succeed both at work and in the family.

Yet such hyperactivity sometimes plays a cruel joke on children who were born in the year of the Monkey. Sometimes, somewhere you need to show patience and calm. Since Monkeys are gambling and adventurers by nature, they can end up losing a lot or being left with nothing. Therefore, parents need to take these qualities into account when choosing a name for girls born in the year of the Monkey.

The name leaves an imprint on the fate of a person. And it is not at all surprising that sometimes, when expecting a child, some families have fierce disputes over what to name him. In fact, you can call them according to the calendar, or simply by beautiful and simple names. In our article we will talk about which names are popular in 2016 in Russia and what exactly they mean.

What are the girls called?

A name for a young representative of the fair sex means a lot, because it will either be a source of pride for her, or a cause of complexes and self-doubt. The name should help her grow into a real woman, but for this it must harmonize well with her surname and patronymic. Some parents prefer to name their daughters according to the time of year in which they were lucky enough to be born. Let's look at this in more detail.

“Summer” girls, as a rule, have a boyish disposition and a quarrelsome character, so the name should soften it slightly, make it more feminine and soft, namely:

  • December - Ekaterina, Ulyana;
  • January - Polina, Tatyana, Yana;
  • February - Maria, Agnia, Anna, Veronica.

And finally, girls born in spring can be somewhat soft and indecisive, so you need to choose a name for them that can strengthen their character. Eg:

  • March - Nina, Galina, Christina, Anastasia;
  • April - Larisa, Svetlana, Alexandra, Eva;
  • May - Elizabeth, Alexandra, Ekaterina.
