In many patriarchal peoples, the clan line was traced from father to son, so the child’s name was one of the ways to show the uniqueness of both the boy and the clan. Echoes of these traditions can be heard in our language today, when English, other European and eastern, for example, Muslim names come to Russian male names.

Russian names for men include several large “blocks” - these are both ancient Slavic and Orthodox (including Jewish, Greek, and Latin). Among the names used, you can find Eastern, European, and even American ones.

Men themselves are rarely interested in what their name means; fathers usually choose a name for a child, for a boy, based on personal preferences. This means that a big responsibility in what to name the child falls on the mother - to choose the most beautiful name for her son and convince her husband that it is the one that suits the heir.

Today, you can choose a child’s name from a great variety of options - the list is huge. The most popular ones, for example, lead to the fact that there are immediately four Nikitas or five Daniils in one class. So it’s better not to react to fashion trends, but on your own feelings and knowledge.

It is important that the child’s name is beautiful, euphonious, and combined with the patronymic and surname. You need to understand what kind of history the name has, what its meaning is. If this is important to you, then you need to consider both the astrological and numerological aspects of the word.

From time immemorial

What to choose from? Very many of the Russian names are Old Slavonic and Old Russian. They consist of two roots, and their meaning is often clear to us. Ancients Slavic names It’s as if from birth the child is given characteristics whose meanings are quite “transparent”.

Below is a list in which Old Church Slavonic male names are arranged alphabetically.

• - the one given by God.
• Borislav is the one who fights for glory.
• Bronislav is a reliable (glorious) defender.
• - ruler.
• - ruler of the world.
• - the one who has (possesses) glory.
• - ruler of the people.
• Vyacheslav is the most glorious.
• Izyaslav - “took”, that is, earned fame.
• Miroslav - glorious in peace.
• Mstislav is a glorious avenger.
• Rostislav is the one whose fame increases.
• Svyatoslav is the one whose glory is sacred.
• Stanislav is the one who became famous, famous, famous.
• - bright and strong.

But Old Russian names and their meaning were associated not only with power and military glory. Here are more Slavic names that are built on the same principle - after all, they are understandable, beautiful and a little unusual for our ears:

• Bogolyub - one who loves God.
• Boguslav is the one who glorifies God.
• Bozhidar is a gift from God.
• Boleslav is the one who became more famous than others.
• Danislav - giving glory, glorifying (his companions).
• Dobromir is the one who lives in peace and kindness.
• Lubomir is the one who loves peace.
• Miloslav is the one who is famous for his good looks.
• Radomir is the one who rejoices in the world.
• Tihomir is the one who brings silence and peace.
• Jaromir is someone who loves the world in all its cheerful manifestations (many Slavic peoples the sun god was called Yarilo)

It can be seen that ancient Slavic names were also included in the Orthodox calendar. This happened, for example, after their bearers were canonized.

From Greeks to Slavs

Russian male names include Orthodox (Greek, Latin and Hebrew) that came with Christianity. Many “Russian” names have foreign analogues that have the same roots - Christian and Orthodox sacred books. Among them you can see very popular ones, and now very rare ones, and the most “ordinary” ones:

• Adam is a man.
• Azat is freedom-loving, independent.
• Akaki is one who does no evil.
• - protector of people.
• - protecting.
• Alim is a scientist.
• Anatoly is a man from the East.
• Arkady is a shepherd.
• - a courageous person.
• - fighter.
• Valentin is the owner of strong vitality.
• Valery is a big guy.
• Victor is the winner (from “victory” - victory).
• - noble.
• - God's mercy.
• - one of the warriors of the thunder god.
• - sun-like.
• Konstantin is famous for his constancy.
• - one who looks like a lion.
• Luka is light.
• - happy in bliss.
• - a divine gift.
• - godlike.
• - “gatherer” of peoples.
• - heroic.
• - the one who is heard by God.
• - noble, noble.
• - crowned.
• - respectful of God.
• - a gift from God.
• Julian is happy.
• Yakov - following on the heels.

These are not all Orthodox Russian names; a complete list of them can be found in the calendar. Ukrainian male names, like Russian ones, include both Orthodox ones from the calendar, and borrowed foreign ones, which have completely taken root in the new soil.

At the same time, both Orthodox and European male names have been transformed due to the peculiarities of the language, so it is not always possible to understand their original sound. There are also names from the calendar that are popular on Ukrainian soil, but are much less in demand in Russia.

These are, for example, Avilo, Auxentius, Agapius, Agapitus, Agathonik, Adrian, Alphius, Bartholomew, Bonifatius, Vavilo, Vakula, Gavrilo, Gordius, Darius, Dorofy, Zeno, Zinovy, Jerome, Capito, Carpo, Kupriyan, Lavrenty, Larion, Miletius, Naum, Nikanor, Ovram, Oleksiy, Omelyan, Paisiy, Paramon, Savatiy, Simon, Titus, Trochim, Theodulus, Fokas, Ialisa.

A true international

Today Russian names have absorbed beautiful names from different languages, the meaning of which we do not always understand. For example, Tatar words are borrowed due to the fact that Russia has the Republic of Tatarstan, and large Tatar communities live in the rest of the country. Most Popular Tatar names are now used by other peoples.

Here, for example, are the most beautiful Tatar names:

• Azamat is a hero.
• Ainur - light of the moon.
• Amin is a faithful guardian.
• Damask steel - steel.
• Vildan is a servant of the heavenly garden.
• Gazinur is a bright warrior.
• Danis is a scientist.
• Zinur - luminous.
• Ilgiz is a traveler, wanderer.
• Irek is free.
• Camille is perfection.
• Rais is the boss.
• Rustam is a hero from legend.

You can see that Tatar names also do not stand still; European names Marat, Robert, Raphael and others have already joined them. As before, Tatar names are largely traditional Islamic Adel, Aivaz, Alfir, Amir, Bakhtiyar, Vahit, Gabdulla, Daniyar, Jamal, Zarif, Ibrahim, Ilfar, Kabir, Latif, Mahmut, Muslim, Nigmatulla, Rifat, Sagit, Talgat, Farhad, Khairullah, Sharif.

By approximately the same principle as the Tatar ones, beautiful Jewish names. Some of them came from the Bible in the calendar, but not all, and few know the meaning of these words:

• Ariel is the lion of god.
• Daniel is my judge - God.
• Omer is a sheaf of wheat.
• Uri is a light for me.
• Eitan is a strong man.
• Elazar - divine help.

Many Russian mothers are looking for the most beautiful name for their child. The closest attention is paid to American names: Alan, Brandon, James, Kevin, Cameron, Mason and others. But when choosing words that are rare and unusual for our country, you need to remember that the meaning may differ from the sound: for example, Cameron means “crooked-nosed.”

But such incidents are very, very rare; it’s unlikely that anyone would want their son’s name to be something absurd. At the same time, English names today no longer sound pretentious and foreign - they are interesting and modern for our society.

Leon, Robert, Edgar will surprise few people, but others english names- Jack, Dylan, Logan, Ryan, Thomas, Alfie - to the ears of a Russian person, they do not yet go well with Russian patronymics and surnames. So, when choosing the most wonderful and unique name for your heir, remember: the child should be comfortable living with the name that you choose for him! Author: Olga Inozemtseva

Names are another aspect of fashion. U different generations their choice was determined by completely different criteria. However, like the entire fashion world, the fashion for names is characterized by a kind of cycle.

Tell me what is your name...

Fate, inner self, rock and signs - according to astrologers, numerologists, as well as numerous Internet sites, all these confusing concepts are extremely influenced by a person’s name. And despite the fact that some consider this nonsense, and others - the truth, it is difficult to argue that, in the end, there is something here. It’s not for nothing that sometimes a name seems completely inappropriate for a person. So how could it be if it were just a word? Everyone goes through life with him, and it is he who is asked first of all when meeting someone. This means that it is obviously believed that with the help of a name you can get to know a person better.

Origin

Modern male names are an assortment of ancient and modern, foreign influences and Slavic motifs. So, when choosing what to name a child, they now use the most unexpected options. Apparently, right now a generational change is taking place, in which there is a kind of fashionable revolution, a return to the roots. The styles of past centuries begin to appear in the clothes, and in the names - something ancient, half-forgotten. Now it’s not so difficult to meet kids on the street running to their mother’s call “Kiryan!” or "Elisha!"

The beauty of sounds

It is difficult to say how to determine whether a name is beautiful. After all, this is a matter of taste. But at one point one of them becomes more popular, more famous, begins to be associated with aesthetics and grace, and in the case of male names, also with strength and masculinity. An inexplicable phenomenon!

So, about five years ago the name Maxim turned out to be the most beautiful, and the rest of the modern male names lost in this battle. Newborn boys are often called Maxims to this day. This is the third most popular choice in Russia.

The most unusual beautiful male names

Modern resources allow you to gain open access to information on almost any issue. Thanks to them, it’s not so difficult to choose original male names from thousands of options. Modern Russian young couples are not limited to the banal choice in favor of Ivanov and Petrov; when thinking about what to name the boy, they strive for mystery in the sound.

So, the rarest and most beautiful names of men of our time are given below:

• Christian;

  Mstislav;

• Eric.

Whatever you choose from this list, ideal option- when the name is combined with the surname and patronymic, which emphasize its sonority. Exclusivity in something always imposes certain obligations on its owner. IN in this case: compliance with your extraordinary name and wearing it with dignity, willingness to face misunderstanding from others.

Closer to the heart

Despite the fact that unusualness usually closely borders beauty, which was literally confirmed by the previous section, we should not forget that simplicity has its own sophistication. Russian male names are no worse than foreign ones. Modern girls they choose Mikhailov and Konstantinov instead of Edwards and Anvars, feeling in them a security that stands above pathos. By “Russian” we mean not origin, but prevalence.

Among the names whose popularity has not faded over the years:

Alexander;

Alexander and Dmitry are a separate conversation; These have long been very popular beautiful male names in the vastness of Russia. Modern boys, guys and men wear them with pleasure, just as nobles, princes and kings did back in the 19th century.

What's in your name?

Every time, looking anywhere for male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - it doesn’t matter, most of all the searcher is interested not so much in a specific list, but in the meaning. It's always interesting to find out the secret hidden behind a combination of letters.

Modern male names and their meanings correlate with each other quite clearly: for example, Alexander, already mentioned in this article, is translated as “protector.” It’s not for nothing that the famous commander immediately comes to mind. Interestingly, the name Alexey has the same etymology. As you can see, the common root “Alex” is responsible for the semantic energy, although when short forms It’s precisely he who gets lost, leaving much nicer options Sasha and Lesha.

How indicative this example is: modern realities force beautiful male names to simplify and shorten, all their majesty is lost. Sometimes this comes in handy, but I wouldn’t want the origins to be forgotten one day and the power to be lost forever.

Modern male names: list

So, the young couple is waiting for a miracle to happen - the birth of a child, in this case a son. She begins to look for suitable male names in all sources of information. List (Russian modern dictionaries fortunately, they are full of such “databases”), the choice is usually extremely large, and each source tries to classify them in its own way.

Some (even most) of them present lists where male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - all in one listing, but distributed alphabetically.

Below, in turn, is a list where the classification is made by meaning. After all, of course, every parent wants their child to have exceptional qualities.

"Winner":

• Andronik;

"Defender":

• Alexander;

• Bronislav;

• William;

"Strong, mighty":

• Valentine;

"Great, glorious":

• Vladislav;

  Vyacheslav;

• Sevastyan;

  Stanislav.

"Bold, Brave at Heart":

• Leopold;

"Wise, reasonable":

• "Noble, generous, peaceful":

Meanings of the most popular names for men

In the previous paragraph, male names were considered: the list (Russian modern ones for the most part, foreign ones for the lesser part) pleased with new, extraordinary combinations of sounds and long-known ones, loved in the vastness of our homeland. In Russia, the most used male names over the past ten years are:

• Alexander;

What does each of them mean?

Alexander

Alexander was and remains the most famous male name. It is popular not only in the post-Soviet countries, but also abroad. Many famous personalities bore this name: Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Alexander the Great.

Its origin is Greek. The name is made up of the phrase “I protect people.” Alexandras are always persistent and strong individuals, real men with a reputation for fair people.

Dmitry

The name Dmitry also comes from Greece. The sunny country called the young men this way in honor of the goddess of fertility Demeter.

Men named Dmitry have a strong will to live, they are kind at heart, although they sometimes commit harsh acts. Loyalty - distinguishing feature Dmitry throughout life path. Sometimes they are too talkative, which interferes with achieving goals, but natural perseverance wins, so they never stop if they really want to achieve something.

Maxim

The name Maxim is distinguished among the three most popular male names by its origin - it is Latin. Translated from this language - “greatest”.

Maxims are often altruists, they love people and believe in them - they want to see something good in every person, which is why they sometimes suffer. At the same time, such men are strong in character, persistent and stubborn, they are not afraid of responsibility, and they make good and caring fathers. By the way, children are loved in principle, both their own and those of others.

Conclusion

To believe or not to believe that a name has sacred power is everyone’s choice. But even the most cynical person on earth is unlikely to be able to call it just a word.

Male names of any time are amazing in that, no matter how majestic their full form sounds, they always keep a short, diminutive, for those closest to them. She reveals sensuality and softness, without which even the harshest man would be nowhere.

The name of a boy and the meaning of the chosen name is a topic of interest to every new or future parent, without exception, which is not surprising, because the process of choosing a name form is quite complex and responsible, and names have so many variations that your head is spinning...

Every parent, be it mom or dad, must responsibly weigh the pros and cons of each name variation, because a lot depends on the choice of name important factors. One of them, for example, is the factor of character and the entire future. Each specific given name a boy, can influence the future of the child he named, the characteristics of the character being formed in him, the personality as such - and on this all, in turn, depends everything in his life, and chances for career growth, and popularity in society, and sociability , and the ability to endure everyday difficulties, and even the chances of building a strong and truly happy family.

Boys born during the patronage of January are inherently purposeful and hardworking, but conflict-ridden and often lack sociability because of this. It is advisable to call such people by names that promise sociability and gentleness, unprincipledness and patience, and balance.

The name of February should endow boys with non-conflict, sociability, eloquence and the ability to compromise, because children born this month do not have all this. There are many such names among Orthodox names. Some of them are given below...

In March, hardworking and shy people are born. Touchy and vulnerable, capricious and lacking charisma. Such boys are difficult to handle; they need to complement their character with charm, eloquence, tenderness and moral fortitude. The name of such a guy should not contain harsh sounds.

Those patronized by April are usually selfish and stubborn by nature, often conflict with peers and do not know how to accept other people’s opinions and advice sensibly. These need to be called names that promise gentleness and common sense, unprincipledness and practicality, and good compatibility.

Those born in May are recommended to be called those variations that can bestow sociability and friendliness, good nature and gentleness. They are family men by nature, but devoid of emotions and imagination, fantasy and romance. Such a quality as determination will not hurt either.

And here there are shy, shy, suspicious and modest boys, and these will have neither a career nor success in material terms if they are not empowered the right traits: determination, self-sufficiency and self-confidence. Names patronized by July can provide all this.

August's guys are kind and gentle, easy to get along with and love to communicate, but they are frivolous and unreliable, incapable of making their own responsible decisions. These should be called options that promise the missing characteristics. We offer the best below...

Here you need to select a variation that promises ease of communication, readiness for adventure, fantasy and imagination, because usually those born in September are deprived of all of the above. But it is worth remembering that the options patronized this month are usually too influential and have very strong energy.

Children of October in the future, in most cases, have a tendency towards prudence, self-interest, composure and uncompromisingness. It is necessary to call options that have a mitigating effect. Sensitivity, gentleness, fairness, sincerity and optimism will not hurt.

November representatives are dominated by material dependence and a thirst for power, which it is advisable to fight from childhood in all possible ways, including giving a name that imparts such qualities as determination, calmness, sincerity and integrity.

And here it won’t hurt to call all the boys with such a name, the meaning of which will endow them with the ability to control emotions and be guided exclusively by logic, because those born in December, in particular Pisces, are too prone to the opposite, they are unbalanced and emotional by origin of soul and nature.

The modern Russian name book includes Russian names that are currently used in Russia.

In addition to the original Russian names in Russian name book included Jewish, Greek, Roman (Latin), Scandinavian and Persian names, which were adapted on the territory of Russia and have long been perceived as Russian.

Most Russian names that are currently used in Russia are not originally Russian in origin. They are borrowed from the Greek language along with Christian religion and came to Russia from Byzantium.

By the 18th-19th centuries Old Russian names were almost completely forgotten, and the imported Christian names were changed taking into account the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation (Aquilina - Akulina, Juliania - Ulyana, Artemy - Artyom, Daniil - Danila, Jeremiah - Eremey).

Where did the Byzantine (Greek) names that became Russian come from?

The Greeks also collected into their names the best names of all the peoples with whom they maintained trade and cultural relations.

In addition to names of ancient Greek origin, they used ancient Roman and Hebrew names, and also used ancient Persian, ancient Egyptian, Chaldean, Syrian and Babylonian names.

If we consider names by meaning, then almost all names Greek and Roman origin talk about positive (desirable) character traits and appearance.

Hebrew names different from Greek and Roman. Most Hebrew names are associated with the name of God. For example, Gabriel is my strength god! Daniel is God's judgment.

Currently name books of any country includes not only the original names of its people, but also borrowed names. This is the result of cultural and trade exchange between peoples, the mixing of cultures, and also a consequence of the migration of peoples.

The name book includes the name, the origin of the name and the meaning of the name.

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.

Pay attention! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website and in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities are not yet able to cope with the growing influx of “Cheating for profit” madness.

Therefore, please be careful!

As soon as a child is born, new parents become interested in his height and weight. The second most popular question is: “What was the name?” Why is it so important for people to know a name? Because it defines a person who he is from a psychological point of view.

Choosing a name by month of birth

To give the world's best name for a boy, some parents associate it with the month of birth. Some of the rare and famous male names are May and Augustine (as in the song by Valery Leontyev). Sonorous and original, they at the same time speak of softness and nobility. If you don’t want the name to directly indicate when your son was born, then there is a special directory of names by month and birthday.

It may happen that the name you like turns out to be very far from the date of birth of the heir. This should not be an obstacle to making a choice.

If you look back into the past, then in those days the best Russian names for boys were very melodic in sound and intricate in pronunciation. For example, Eremey, Leonty, Micah, Julian, Rostislav, Sevastian, Maximilian, Gury. Believing parents most often check the date of birth with the calendar, and also pay attention to which saint is the patron saint on this day. It is popularly believed that he can become an intercessor for a newborn boy throughout his life.

Consonance with surname and patronymic

An important fact that deserves special attention: how the first and middle names will sound, and even more important - with the last name together. Since great hopes are placed on the boy, he is seen as an heir, a future support - everything together should sound respectable and businesslike. After all, many parents see their growing son as a big boss and owner own life, successor.

For this reason the most best name for a boy, the meaning and sound should immediately tell those around him whose son he is. In our modern life you can find various variations and even summary tables, which suggest choosing a suitable pair: first name and patronymic. The main thing in this matter is that the combination is not funny and absurd, but harmonious. You should also definitely not look for a name that ends with the same letter as your middle name. It would be best if the first name and patronymic do not begin with the same consonant or vowel. An example would be: Alexander Mikhailovich, Pavel Anatolyevich, Roman Pavlovich.

Name by zodiac sign

Knowing the month of birth, parents can determine the choice of the best name for a boy according to the meaning of the zodiac sign. Based on characteristics and descriptions personal qualities, with the help of a horoscope, suitable options are selected. It is believed that the weaknesses of the zodiac patron can be balanced with the help of the meaning of the name, since a person gains more confidence in his strengths and significance when he hears it when contacted.

Astrologers can also advise paying attention to a combination with several suitable zodiac signs, if none of those considered suited a particular child. In any case, the determining factor will be personal sympathy for a particular name.

Choice by character

Every parent wants to see their child as the embodiment of strength of spirit and character. Therefore, for a boy, he is selected based on the characteristics that he would like to see in him. Some of the most popular requirements for the character of an heir are the presence of masculinity, fortitude, dexterity and luck. Modern moms and dads give special meaning the consonance of the name, the presence of strong consonants in it, which (by their definition) should also speak about the strength of the inner personality of the growing heir.

Another point that determines that the chosen name is the best for a boy is that it must be positive. So, according to some, we can say that the son will develop not only a strong side, but also a soft side, prone to sympathy, love and empathy. To determine how well the chosen name fits these parameters, it is enough to simply pronounce it in a diminutive form: Andrey-Andryushenka, Dmitry-Dimulya, Lev-Levushka.

The rarest name

IN lately parents try to distinguish their child from his peers, believing that the best name in the world for boys should be rare, unusual and sonorous. In pursuit of originality, many forget about how a child with a rare name will have to go through life in the future. Moreover, it is worth thinking about what middle name his child will receive in the future. In modern Russian multinational society, children with rare names are habitually treated. It seems that nothing can surprise anyone anymore. For example, Gleb, Plato, Miron, Tikhon, Innocent, Veniamin, Zakhar, Luke.

Parents often borrow for their children foreign names, which are rare among us. It is rare to have a name for a child borrowed from representatives of another nationality.

Choosing a name based on your religion

In the multinational Russian country, people of different religions and faiths coexist peacefully. This also leaves its mark on the choice of name. It is considered rare in such families to name a child with a simple Russian name. If you need to choose the best name for a Muslim boy, then parents often pay attention to its meaning. For example, a very soft but strong meaning means “chosen,” Selim means “healthy,” Shakur means “grateful.” According to the saying of Muhammad, the name must be good, since after death the soul is determined by what the person was named at birth.

It is considered a good sign to name your son after angels or prophets, for example, Ibrahim, Yasin, Ahmad and others. They are called upon to protect the child and patronize him in all endeavors and affairs. However, you should not blindly believe that a name can predetermine fate and influence a person. The value of even the best Muslim name the boy's behavior may not coincide with his actions in the future. This is already influenced by upbringing, environment and the presence of certain lifestyle principles that come with time. Therefore, it will be possible to determine how good a name will be for its owner only after a while.

Name after someone

It happens that the best name for a boy is borrowed from his grandfather or father. Alexander Alexandrovich, Nikolai Nikolaevich, Mikhail Mikhailovich often meet. In this way, some perpetuated the memory of a deceased person. On the one hand, this is very touching, on the other hand, it is necessary to think about the fact that there is a theory about the transition of a departed soul to a newborn child through a name. And there is confirmation of this, noting the actions and words of the child as he grows up, parents can notice the habits of a relative who once passed away.

The main thing in this case is that this person leads positive image life, distinguished by noble deeds and good deeds. However, no one can predict in advance how the name of a relative will affect the boy in his future life. Time will tell.

Most popular name (regardless of year)

Trying to choose the best name for a boy, parents are ready to study a lot of literature, ask for advice from all their friends and relatives, or, on the contrary, decide without consulting anyone. Anyway to this important event prepare thoroughly, for example, study the statistics of the most popular ones and choose one. From year to year, the most used are: Maxim, Alexander, Nikita, Daniil, Kirill, Artem, Egor, Andrey, Roman, Sergey, Alexey, Denis, Ilya, Ivan.

Among the rare names you can find a lot of good and very sonorous ones. At the same time, they will not hurt your ears or serve as a subject of ridicule from your peers. These include the following names: Leo, Georg, Damian, Evsey, Julian, Daniel, Oscar, Ruslan, Adam.

If there are two sons

When choosing the best name for boys (for example, if twins or twins were born), the mother can not be tormented between two different ones. This is undoubtedly a plus, but you should not make them very similar to each other or double in meaning. It is advisable to choose those that have similar endings, letters or complement each other. For example, these could be such combinations as Mikhail and Daniil, Nikolai and Alexey, Vyacheslav and Yaroslav, Roman and Ivan.

There is one option when parents ask their children who are still in the womb about their preferred choice in terms of the best name for boys. When communicating with them, you can try asking which name they like best. Some pregnant women note that their children communicated their preference to them through abdominal kicks. It is worth noting that many future parents use this method, and it finds a positive response in a certain environment.

Double name

Double names borrowed from foreigners began to be found in Russia. We are not talking about families of other nationalities. In this way, parents with Russian roots want to highlight their child. More and more it began to look like a tribute to fashion, especially among those who strive to be like show business stars. As for the child himself, in particular a growing boy, it can be noted that such children grow up to be somewhat self-centered. I'm with early years instill special significance (usually for merits that the child has yet to acquire).

Few people know why foreigners name their children this way. One of the versions is as follows: when the child grows up, he will choose the name he likes. IN Russian society Female pair names are more common. It is difficult to imagine a boy who will then give his name to a child in the form of a double patronymic. And the process of pronouncing such a name is quite complicated, so it is extremely rarely used in Russia.

Most Popular

To be on trend, parents can give their son one of the popular names of the year. You can even ask the employees of the local registry office for such a list. It is also proposed to use this method of analysis when searching for an answer to the question of what is the best name for a boy that can be chosen so that it does not appear too often. From year to year, one can trace a certain consistency in terms of the popularity of the following male names: Andrei, Artem, Denis, Evgeniy, Maxim, Mikhail, Pavel, Nikolai, Kirill.

Borrowed from abroad

In large cities and million-plus cities you can find large number not only visiting foreigners, but also local residents who give their newborn boys foreign names. Most often, this occurs in couples where one of the parents is of a different nationality, religion or language. These include any name that sounds unusual to Russian ears: Arnold, David, Mark, Rudolf, Caesar, Edmond, Michael, Damian and others. They are rare and speak about the foreign roots of the parents.
