How to choose the right name for the child?
In our time, even not particularly superstitious and prone tomysticism people will agree that the name of a person is of great importance and influences his fate, even in the most ordinary, everyday sense. Imagine how difficult it is, for example, to communicate with peers to a child whom his parents called somehow exotic: the name of the hero of his favorite series (something like Juan Carlos) or in honor of significant events (who had not heard of Dazdraperma, Oktyabrina, etc.). ?). Do you want your child's name to be sweet, pleasant, consistent with his character? Then carefully approach the issue of choosing a name.
Previously, children were given names when baptism. Until then, everyone was called Bogdan, thenis given by God. During the baptism, the father called the baby the name of the saint, who later will patronize the person all his life. Usually the name of the saint whose day was closest to the child's birthday was chosen.
In our time, when choosing a name for a child, parents are guided by different criteria. One of the most common - combination of the child's name and patronymic. That is, parents select a name for the child,so that it harmoniously sounds when pronounced with the patronymic. It is difficult to pronounce the combination of names with patronymics when too many vowels or consonants are formed at their junction. For example, Alexander Dmitrievich. If the child's name and patronymic are difficult to pronounce together, this can lead to distortion in pronunciation and the occurrence of embarrassing situations in the future.
Another common criterion - name modesty. For example, names such as Fekla,Praskovya, Khavronya, were popular in Russia, but nowadays children are rarely called by such names. The fashion for names is changeable and fleeting. But there are names that have remained popular for centuries. These are such popular names as Alexey, Andrey, Sergey, Alexander, Elena, Ekaterina, etc. Calling your child a trendy name, think about how easy or difficult it will be for him to live with that name if the fashion goes by.
Some parents give names to their children in honor of deceased relatives, friends. But to do so is not recommended. It is believed that the name can transmit negative energy and the child can comprehend the same sad fate as the deceased namesake.
For the same reason, it is not recommended to namechildren with names and living relatives, especially the names of the parents themselves. Boys named after their father usually grow up unbalanced, capricious, and girls who bear the mother's name find it difficult to find a common language with their mothers-namesakes.
It is also important that the child's name easily form affectionate-diminutive form. For example, Andrew - Andrew, Andrew, Dmitry - Dimochka, Dimul, etc.
The child's name may sound firm, soft, oris neutral. Depending on the "hardness" of the name, the child develops certain character traits. For example, children with "hard" names Igor, Dmitry, Jeanne, Catherine, Daria, grow up independent and determined. Such "soft" names as Svetlana, Irina, Vera, Alexei, Ilya, Vasily, make the nature of the child complaisant and calm. A balance and judiciousness, in turn, carry "neutral" names: Artem, Andrei, Alexander, Vitaly, Anna, Olga, Anastasia, Lyudmila ...
The correct name can be promote desirable and muffling the undesirable qualities ofchild. For example, if a child was born in the winter, then it forms such character traits as purposefulness, strong will, intransigence and intractability. To muffle the negative features of "winter" children give "soft" names. And, conversely, children born in the summer are kind and emotional, but they are impressionable and characterless. To protect the "summer" children from adversity, they should be given "solid" names.
When choosing a name for your child, approach this question with all responsibility. The name influences the fate of the child and in the hands of the parents the key is to make this destiny happy!
