What are the guys' names? Beautiful and unusual names for boys: tips for choosing and rating of fashionable male names

There is such an anecdote: - Elisha, son, don’t they tease you in kindergarten? -Who will tease? Ostap? Eustathius? Arkhip? Prokop? Or maybe Naum? Indeed, you go to the group, and there is the thirtieth kingdom, and not kindergarten. Parents in Lately(read when the watchful eye of conscientious grandmothers from Soviet Union) began to invent unusual names for boys. Well, whatever you call the ship, that’s how it will sail.

It is widely believed that a person needs a name to be his “individual distinguisher.” Scientists refute this position with a variety of facts. For example, in Sweden in the 60s of the last century, the population was approximately 7 million. Of these, 381 thousand people bore the surname Anderson, 364 thousand people Johanson, and 334 thousand Carlson. In Moscow at the same time, there were 90 thousand Ivanovs in the telephone directory, of which a thousand were Ivanov Ivanovich Ivanovs. The same name was widespread. This situation is realized in two versions: father and son or mother and daughter have the same name. Or a tougher option - siblings have the same name. For example, Tsar Ivan III had two siblings, Andrei, and two daughters, Elena. In the Middle Ages, among the Poles, a canon named Jan Dlugash lived in the city of Krakow. According to surviving documents, 10 of his siblings had the same name. And in the Russian pre-revolutionary village, 25% of men bore the name Ivan, but what - beautiful name for boy.

Greatest and unharmed

Today, parents are increasingly thinking about how to make their child stand out from the crowd and help him live bright life, calling him unusually. Give rare name a boy, no matter how punish it may sound, is not uncommon today. Something like this list of unusually beautiful names for a boy will help you distinguish your son from his classmates, and then classmates or colleagues:

Adam,
Arthur,
Adrian,
Bronislav,
Boleslav,
Benedict,
Walter,
Hermann,
Gordey,
Demyan,
David,
Elisha,
Zakhar,
Ignat,
Clement,
Christian,
Lyubomir,
Martin,
Nathan,
Orestes,
Oscar,
Plato,
Rudolf,
Stanislav,
Taras,
Felix,
Khariton,

In 2015, the Moscow Civil Registry Office registered the name Sevastopol for the first time. also in different cities parents chose such rare and beautiful names for boys as:

Diamond,
Jazz,
Hector,
Kuzma,
Laurel,
Luke,
Radislav,
Radamir,
Dawn,
North,
Spartacus,
Fadey,
Jaromir.

At the same time, the most popular names in Russia for many years have been Alexander (meaning “defender”), Artem (“unharmed”), Maxim (“greatest”).

Recently, the tendency to call children forgotten has returned. Old Russian names, primarily those that the church used to give: Zakhar, Plato, Savva, Demid, Lukyan, Miron, Ruslan, Rurik, Svyatoslav. This is really good for Russia in terms of compatibility with first and last names. A separate “caste” of these names are all those that end in “slav”. In the 11th-13th centuries in Rus', these names mainly referred to the Rurikovichs. The main thing is to teach the child, when he grows up, to clearly pronounce his name, otherwise he will simply be Vyacheslav everywhere, and not some Boreslav or Miroslav. By the way, the now popular name Milana is similar in meaning and origin to Miroslav, so children of different sexes can be called Miroslav and Milana.

With Russia everything is clear - stability. In the USA, for example, the most popular names for boys are John, Robert, Richard, William. Popular in England modern names for boys: Stephen, Paul, David, Mark, Alan. And in Germany - Ben, Luca, Paul, Lucas, Leon, Maximilian, Felix, Noah, David, Jan.

It is interesting that in some countries the number of names is not regulated at all. In the city of Percelles in Belgium in 1972, a boy was given a name consisting of the names of 22 players of the local football club. In Russia, the number of names is strictly limited. And it’s good - it’s not hard to imagine what a riot of names our parents would have come up with back then in an attempt to create the most unusual names.

Life stories

It is interesting that many parents who gave their sons rare and unusual names found it difficult to talk about exactly how they did it. Most either simply read the dictionary of names, choosing almost at random, or said “it hit me during pregnancy.” It seems that few approach the choice thoroughly, study the meaning of the name, pronounce the name out loud, try on affectionate sounds. But some mothers still told amazing stories.

Mom Anastasia, son Bazhen:

I have always been interested in names and their meanings. When I found out about pregnancy, I immediately decided that the name would definitely be Slavic origin, in my case - Old Russian. There were other options, but they disappeared the same day they were proposed. I chose the name for my son, I read a lot about its origin, I like its meaning and sound. The name comes from the Old Russian verb “bazhat”, which means “to desire, to want”, that is, Bazhen is a desired child. The name was common in the Middle Ages in Rus'. I affectionately call him Bazhenchik, or Zhenya for short.

Mom Inna, son Gordey:

It turned out that I came up with a name for my son 16 years before Gordey was born. I worked part-time as an assistant teacher in a children's sanatorium, and in my group there was a boy named Gordey. He was ten years old and looked like an angel: blue-eyed, blond, very kind, well-mannered, and most importantly, smart beyond his years.

To my joy, my husband immediately liked my cherished name for his son. For the sake of order, we tried to look for other options, but nothing else suited us at all. Although I had a spare name - Vasily, in the end it was Vasily that I married, and this option disappeared by itself.

It’s interesting that in 16 years I have never met a person named Gordey, but now I know several of my son’s little namesakes, born in the last year and a half. So the name is no longer so rare.

Our Gordey was born not in Russia, but in Cyprus, where my family and I temporarily live. And it came as a surprise to me that my son’s name turned out to be difficult for foreigners to hear and speak. Cyprus is a country that loves children very much. On the street people constantly meet Gordey, play, talk and, of course, ask his name. Sometimes you have to repeat several times and answer clarifying questions: “No, not Harry. And not Gordon." One of his son's diminutive names is easier to pronounce: Gordy. And in our family we call him in the Russian manner - Gordyusha. So the name sounds cozy and homely.

Whether or not to name a boy with an unusual name is, of course, entirely a parental matter. He will be Jan, Sasha or Elisha - it is the parents who must choose, although the public may object. The main thing when choosing a name for a boy is to remember one extremely important thing: the first name must be combined with the patronymic and surname. If a girl can still change her last name, then the boy will most likely live his whole life as he was named by his parents.

Choosing a child's name often becomes a rather serious problem for most parents. Young mothers and fathers, as a rule, select in advance from several dozen or hundreds of options only name, with which the child will have to live his whole life. The determining criterion for choosing a name is its consonance with the surname and patronymic and, undoubtedly, its beauty, and maybe even originality. For many parents, it is very important that the child’s name is rare, so options are selected not only from modern names that are fairly well-known in society, but also from outdated (ancient) names. For example, the old Russian name Yaroslav sounds very beautiful, but even in our time it is not so rare. And these are the old Russian ones male names, like Lukeriy or Vedagoras, may seem strange to many.

If you look at statistical results, then you can see that recently the demand for rare beautiful names has increased significantly. By choosing a beautiful exotic name for your child, you will undoubtedly provide him with increased attention from others, but some difficulties may arise. Not every exotic or foreign name can go well with Russian patronymics, and such a discrepancy is more likely to spoil the impression of the name than to emphasize the beauty inherent in it.

A rare name already imposes certain obligations on a child from birth, because with such a name he receives much more attention from others and he cannot simply “sit out” on the outskirts of life. It happens that parents name their children after a person with a rather rare name, but after a few years this name becomes widely popular and becomes not so rare. With the bearers of such rare names at certain times, funny and sometimes even sad incidents often happen in the future.

The attitude of the person himself towards his name is also important. I think that you have more than once met people who are embarrassed by their rare name, this becomes noticeable already in the first minutes of communication, which is why the attitude of others towards them develops accordingly - often even dismissive. And on the contrary, a person with a rare (exotic) name, who never focuses attention on his peculiarity and is calm about his “chosenness”, deserves decent respect. That is why weak people cannot cope with such a burden, best case scenario They become simply withdrawn and uncommunicative. More strong-willed people can proudly walk through life, glorifying their rare name and achieving success. Often, among people with unusually rare names, you can find both famous heroes and, unfortunately, the most famous criminals.

It must be taken into account that in society there is a huge difference in communication between adults and adolescents. It’s hard to even imagine how adult uncles and aunts come up with offensive nicknames or teases for each other, but among children this is considered quite normal behavior.

A too rare, fancy name often makes a child a “black sheep” or an object of ridicule from his peers, making him constantly feel complex and embarrassed. At the same time, using names that are too common can have a negative impact on self-esteem: when there are many boys with same names, it is difficult to feel like an individual. But a way out of this situation can be found very easily - just come up with an original abbreviated name together with the child, such that only he can be called. If you named your child a rare name, do not forget to repeat often what an unusual and beautiful name he was given, try to tell the story of how you chose it, why, what it means, in a word, help your child to be proud of how his name.

However, all this is quite general reasoning that is difficult to apply to each individual person, because a rare name can be elegant and euphonious, or it can sound quite strange, funny and even ugly. This often happens to visiting people whose parents come from a completely different cultural environment; their names in the new conditions sound strange, ugly or sometimes ugly. Psychologists, in similar cases, persistently advise such people to officially change their name in order to overcome the social and psychological barrier.

For parents who have decided to choose a rare, beautiful name for their baby, we provide statistical data for last year the most rare names among newborns. Probably the example of other parents will help you choose the right path to achieve your goal. But anyway, when choosing a rare name for a child, be sure to consider:

How will the name sound in combination with the patronymic and surname?

Is a rare name easy to pronounce? For example, Paphnutius, Agarophon or Erast often sound strange.

Will the child like the name when he grows up and will the person be ashamed of his name? The owner of an exotic name can survive a large number of unpleasant moments not only in childhood.

Doesn't this rare name sound too pretentious and pretentious? For example, King, Prince or Hero impose serious obligations and responsibilities on their bearers.

Doesn't a rare name evoke any unpleasant associations? For example, the name Adolf will not be met with loyalty in any society.

A name is something given to us by our parents. This is what we give to our children. It has very important, because it can become a reliable amulet and protective talisman for you.

Sergey. Sergei means "clear". Clarity is the purity and strength of the mind. This name is a good universal amulet, as well as a unique lucky mascot. True, Sergei may still have frequent problems with his opponents.

Anton. Strong name, which protects its owner from love spell and from clouding of mind. There is weak resistance to the evil eye and curses. Anton is a warrior who fights for his freedom and recognition, so he is not always able to defend himself, because the essence of this name is fight.

Alexei. Translated from Greek language means "protector". Protection is always good. The amulet from this name is good, but not always stable. This inconstancy prevents Alexei from being protected from the evil eye or love spell.

Michael. This name is controversially suitable for describing the ideal protection for a boy or an adult man, since the camp of specialists is divided into two large parts - those who believe that this name is one of the best, and those who consider it mediocre in terms of protection. Because of this confusion, we only give it sixth place on our list.

Kirill. This name means “lord,” which hints at a special energy. Kirill is his own boss, so simple evil eyes He's definitely not afraid. Do you want to provide the boy with protection and strength? — call him Kirill.

Valery. The meaning is similar to Cyril, but is interpreted a little differently. This is a stronger name-amulet, because it was always worn by the most persistent men. It provides stable protection from almost all types of energy effects.

Victor. The winner is the winner. The highest level of energy can give Victor protection from everything that comes from evil and hostile people. We give bronze to this excellent name, which is both beautiful and a talisman.

Igor. From time immemorial, Igor was painted with calmness, strength and equanimity. These qualities help you see the world in the right light, abstracting from everything that may be unnecessary. Igor is not at all bothered by the possibility of being damned. He knows it won't affect him. This makes Igor the most powerful amulet name on our list. Almost the strongest.

Alexander. Oldest name, meaning “protector of the clan.” This spiritual talisman is capable of providing stable protection not only to the boy or man himself, but also to his entire family. Thus Alexander is best name for protection from filth, the evil eye, envy, curses and all invisible problems.

Don't forget that a name is like a name for a ship. Whatever you name a boy, that’s how his life will be. Our ancestors believed that names have special magic that gives a person strength, luck and protection.

We also advise you to familiarize yourself with female amulets names. Find out how strong your name is, or help yourself decide what to name your future child. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

The presence of damage or the evil eye on a person always manifests itself in troubles and poor health. However, there are several...

Often in a family where a male child is expected to be born, one of the most complex problems becomes the choice of name. Nowadays names for boys are being chosen both with a slightly “foreign” sound and traditional Russian ones. But in any case, the choice must be balanced, depending on many criteria.

The most important

In pursuit of the best or most beautiful of names, it is important not to miss the main thing:

When choosing a name for a boy who will continue the family line and protect the family clan, it is important that in the future it becomes the basis for a good, harmonious patronymic for grandchildren.
Rare, strange, funny, meaningless names for boys are negatively perceived by society. For example, the name of the hero of a favorite TV series can become an object of ridicule for a child at school and kindergarten.
Psychologists do not advise naming a child after the father. In addition to the everyday inconvenience of a coincidence, this may be the cause of nervous disorders of the future heir.

In honor of relatives

A peculiar tradition of naming a boy as a sign of respect, gratitude, love for someone is an interesting idea. But will the owner of the name like it in the future? Here are examples of who male children are often named after:

A relative. This could be a dear grandfather, uncle, beloved godfather of one of the parents. Why not? The child will be the darling of a beloved relative, an object of care and protection.
Deceased relative. Not the best best idea for superstitious parents. So it was popular among the people that in this case, the newborn, on a subconscious level, will copy all the character traits and fate of the deceased.

The child can be named after a man - an obstetrician who successfully delivered the child, or any other person who once gave a helping hand and played a vital role in the fate of the father or mother of the unborn child. In any case, the decision must be balanced, agreed upon by both father and mother.

Seasons

The time of year when the birth of a child is planned affects the fate and character of the newborn.

Let's look at the names of boys born in different seasons:

Winter. Arseny, Mikhail, Pavel, Alexey, Semyon, Valentin. Soft and calm names are necessary to compensate for the stubborn, strong, strong-willed nature of winter men.
Spring. More solid-sounding ones are suitable here, because spring children rarely have a lively character. To unborn child was always confident in himself, he can be called Oscar, Boris, Timur, Victor, Gleb.
Summer. Active, proud, summer men love risk and freedom. Short, courageous ones are suitable for these people: Gleb, Roman, Denis, Anton, Mark.
Autumn. Balanced realists born in autumn trust few people. Smart and calm boys of this time of year need sonorous names that compete for attention: Nikolai, Sergei, Peter, Felix, German, Kirill.

Last name and patronymic

Parents looking over names for a boy need to think about the euphony of the name in combination with the child’s patronymic and surname. Consonants play an important role. These may be predominant voiced or voiceless consonants. The name must contain the same consonants as in the patronymic or surname. For example, Ivanov Matvey Semenovich (predominance of noisy consonants) or Andreev Viktor Borisovich (hard consonants).

This combination is considered pleasant to hear and pronounce, and also makes communication with the owner easy and convenient. Many people believe that short names boys are more suitable long surnames and vice versa.

It's fashionable

Naming a boy in a fashionable way is the choice of many modern parents who keep up with the times. Every New Year rich in an abundance of popular male names.

Which ones are relevant in the mid-2010s?

Benedict,
Arthur,
Adam,
Hermann,
Walter,
David,
Ignat,
Rudolf,
Plato,
Taras.

Fashionable ones are often outdated, long forgotten, for example, Khariton, Klement, Zakhar. In an effort to pay tribute to fashion, it is important not to overdo it and not name the boy too funny, difficult or strange.

According to the church calendar

A little time has passed since the time when all children were named according to their name day. church calendar. Such a number suggested to parents male names for their newborn. To this day it is believed that a boy named according to the calendar will have good health, successful work and happy family. Unfortunately, such a number has a limited number of names that might appeal to modern spouses.

According to the value

Each name, translated from various ancient languages, has a special characteristic and meaning. When choosing a name for a boy, parents often want to invest certain qualities in the future heir:

Andrey is courageous.
Boris is a struggling man.
Leo – intelligence and foresight.
Nikita is a victor. An excellent choice for the future athlete.
Roman is a favorite of women.
Peter – independence, conviction.
Sergey - ideal father and spouse.
Tikhon is a lucky person.
Konstantin – constancy.

Valery, Vitaly are those names that personify health and fortitude. Anton is a competitive person who struggles with difficulties. This is what they advise to call weak or premature children, so that the magic of the name gives the boys vitality and improves health.

Important points

Boys' names can be beautiful, short, ancient, double, foreign.

But, among other things, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Nationality. Many families where spouses are representatives different nationalities, have difficulty choosing what to name their child. Here it is important to think about this in advance, find a compromise and take into account the nationality of the future baby. This will help avoid further marital disagreements and resentments.
Diminutive form of a name. This form should not be annoying, cause irony, or be too difficult to pronounce.
Place of residence. Prim, sophisticated, rare names for boys are inappropriate in small villages with a predominance of traditional views on life. Marcel, Alfred, Antonio, Emmanuel will be more harmoniously perceived by the society of megacities.

Greetings, dear readers! There is an opinion: what you name a child, so will his life. Today there is a tradition of giving children rare foreign or old Russian names. Kindergartens and schools are filled with Seraphims, Ostaps, Vladislavs, etc. By the way, children are generally calm about such “inventions” of the parents of their comrades, because meeting a rare name in a children’s company is no longer “rare.” I suggest you consider names for boys, rare and beautiful ones that will help you name your heir correctly.

Before choosing a name for a boy, pay attention to its meaning. It happens that an option seems acceptable and sonorous, but its meaning does not prepare the child the best. better fate or it is not at all clear what it is hinting at. For example, Kondrat means “square”. Do you want to name your baby this?
Another criterion is that it be consistent with the patronymic. Imagine that your baby will grow up and take a leadership position. What will his subordinates call him? Initials should be pronounced easily, without tension. If the middle name is long and difficult to pronounce, choose a short one, melodious name, for example, Ilya Igorevich. But Konstantin Igorevich will not sound very pleasant, and it will be completely difficult to pronounce.
Make sure that children do not laugh at your baby when he goes to kindergarten or school. True, today there are many children with unusual names, and it is difficult for adults to imagine how a word can be changed. And yet, be prepared to give your baby the most “harmless” thing possible.

If the parents are believers, they can give the boy a name according to Orthodox calendar. Each day is dedicated to certain saints, whose names are given to newborns.
