“Difficult choice”: what to name the child

Choosing a name is a difficult and responsible task for parents. Some future parents initially know what they will name their baby even before childbirth, the majority, until the very last moment, choose and doubt. Where to start?

How to choose a name for a girl

When choosing a name for their baby, many parents' main desire is to distinguish her from all other children by calling her an unusual name. But you should think carefully before giving your daughter non-traditional names.  It is necessary to pay attention to the consonance of the chosen name with the patronymic.

It is also not advisable to call a child strange names, as this may subsequently lead to ridicule of the child from peers.

If you still want your daughter to have an unusual name, you can choose from ancient Old Slavonic names. They are very beautiful and consonant with Russian patronymics. For example, Vasilisa or Varvara.

When choosing a name, you can rely on the church calendar. By choosing a name from among the saints, you can provide the child with patronage and protection. If there are no female names on your birthday, then you can choose any that appears on the calendar up to 40 days after the date of birth.

When choosing a name based on the birth of your daughter, you can trust the horoscope and choose a name according to the characteristics of the zodiac sign.

You can also decide what to name your child depending on the time of year in which she was born.

A controversial issue is choosing a name in honor of a close relative. You should not name the baby after relatives who passed away early or died tragically.

How to choose a name for a boy

There are many options when choosing a name for your son. You can use horoscopes, Christmastide or family traditions. You can also name the boy after a character from a book or movie.

It is up to the parents to decide what to name the child, a traditional or original name. But it is worth remembering that when choosing a name for your son, it will be with him all his life. Therefore, it should be suitable for both a little boy and an adult man, father and grandfather.

If, according to family tradition, a son needs to be named in honor of his father or grandfather, you need to look at the consonance of such a name and patronymic with the surname.

Based on the date of birth, you can choose a name according to the calendar, which will give protection to the baby. But you shouldn’t call him by such complex names as Aciscles or Sosipater.

Following fashion trends, you can choose an Old Russian name consisting of two names. For example, Miroslav or Lubomir. But when choosing a fashionable name, you need to keep in mind that there is a high probability that in the future there will be several more boys with the same name in kindergarten and school.
