Choosing a name for a baby is a difficult and responsible task. Thousands of parents every day puzzle over what interesting female names are now in fashion, how not to make a mistake and charge their beloved child with happiness for life. A woman is always a mystery, it is mystery and enchanting beauty, and each country has its own canons. Now they are becoming very foreign in origin, Old Slavonic and long forgotten. Perhaps this material will help you choose a destiny for your daughter.

We are for modern fashion!

If you constantly follow trends and don’t miss a single one an important event, then we recommend that you look at the beautiful ones. You won’t have to break your tongue over pronunciation, and, of course, any traditional Russian version goes perfectly with a simple Russian patronymic.

A popular magazine recently conducted a survey. 45 thousand men answered the question about what female name the most pleasant thing for them. The top three included Katenka, Victoria and Nastenka. They are followed by Ksyusha, Tanechka and Natasha. Of course, these names always remain in trend and are considered classics. At the same time, many parents prefer to give beautiful female names (modern), rare and mysterious, such as Carmina, Evangeline, Evelina, Ariadne, Camellia.

We are fans of the French genre

It is believed that French ladies have the most melodic names. If you remember famous actresses, then they will always be associated with standards of beauty and elegance. It is not surprising that French female names are in fashion here too. In kindergartens you can increasingly see Adele, Camilla, and Violetta. Veronica (with the emphasis on the last syllable) is similar to our Vika - both names mean victory, but have different origins. Irene (by analogy with Ira) - peaceful and kind soul; Claire - bright style; Sylvia is a forest nymph, Emma is mysterious.

Almost all popular French female names have a complex etymology and were borrowed from other countries. Over time, their pronunciation changed. For example, Jeannette comes from Hebrew and Barbara comes from Ancient Roman. Here are some more interesting options: Vivienne (alive), Giselle (arrow), Josephine (kind), Monica (affectionate), Mary (beloved), Margot (precious), Emmanuel (given by God).

We are the German favorites

German female names always make an impression. Despite the fact that the language of the German people itself is rough, and not everyone likes it, their names are charming. Girls given a German name will certainly enjoy success and the attention of others.

For example, Mirabells are very sensitive and vulnerable people. They make excellent housewives and faithful wives. But Isolde is a name for a strong personality who will certainly achieve success in her career. Isolde's name translates to "cold gold" and as such she can be dangerous, but only with those who do not value her.

Other popular German names the female ones are: Alma (gracious), Gertrude (warrior, heroine), Hanrietta (noble girl), Iolanta (violet), Frederica (powerful), Emily (rival), Frida (faithful), Hannah (gifted). In Russia you can often meet Inga, Maryana, Nellie. These names are firmly rooted among us, although they are of Germanic origin.

We are looking east

Eastern women are always a mystery. Arabic female names are associated with the melody of oriental dance, the secrets of the sands and the charm of their owners. The mixing of cultures leads to the fact that in our country Russian girls are increasingly called by traditional Muslim names. And at the same time they grow up happy and loved. Let's look at what Arab women's

Girls Guli, Naili, Kamila are often found. They are beautiful like flowers, respected and merciful. Malika, Jamilya, Laysan sound with rich chords... By naming a child the name Aisha, parents expect their daughter to grow up smart and obedient, meek and courteous. By the way, this name is of great importance for Muslims. This was the name of the wife of the great prophet Muhammad.

It is not recommended to name girls Fatima. The fact is that all babies are called this before they receive their birth certificate. Most residents Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and other countries give girls the following names: Jana, Layan, Zafira, Razan, Shahd.

We are for the long forgotten old

Interesting female names of original Russian origin are now surprisingly rare. Why aren't Elena, Vera, and Natalia so sweet? You will be surprised, but it is very difficult to meet modern newborns with such names. But Sofia and Daria meet in almost every ward of maternity hospitals.

Old female names are even less commonly used. Some 100-200 years ago they were heard everywhere among the common people, but now they have lost their former glory. Perhaps someone will like one of these options: Agapia, Agnia, Adeline, Antonia, Vasilisa, Evdokia, Emelyan, Zoya, Zlata, Matryona, Milena, Pelageya, Praskovya, Serafima, Taisya, Raisa, Fevronya, Thekla, Theodora.

Must have the root “mila” or “glory”. For example, Yaroslav, Miloslav, Boguslav, Bogumil, Svyatoslav. This tradition has been preserved since the times Kievan Rus, because then the name had to have meaning. And more and more familiar to us - Varvara, Sophia, Maria, Julia, Anna came to our country from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Other common female names

Not included in the top 3, but also interesting female names that occur more often than others, are Ksenia, Ulyana, Varvara, Alexandra, Valeria. Less common are Alina, Arina, Yana, Alisa, Veronica.

Conclusion

Whatever name you choose for your daughter, be sure that it will be the best, and your sunshine will be the happiest. Interesting female names are just the opinion of one person, but there are no comrades according to taste and color.

Even before the birth of the child, parents begin to think about what to name the baby. It is believed that his fate and character depend on the name of a person who comes into the world. The list of beautiful women's names is so huge that sometimes it is not easy to choose. To simplify the task, there are a number of criteria (numerology, calendar, traditions, fashion, meaning, combination with a surname) that help you decide what to name the baby.

How to choose a beautiful name for a girl

According to the law, parents have the right to name their child whatever they want. Sometimes it goes beyond common sense when the name not only does not fit with the surname or patronymic, but also sounds terrible. Some mothers and fathers strive to name their children after relatives, but if you believe in omens, be careful, since it is believed that a baby can repeat the fate of an adult. Based on the above, it is necessary to choose beautiful Russian names for girls, guided by several basic criteria.

Church calendar

Often the choice of a beautiful female name is carried out depending on the church calendar. On the one hand, everything is simple here: you just need to look at the calendar on the girl’s birthday and find out which saint, great martyr the date is dedicated to, he will be the patron. According to Orthodox faith, the child immediately falls under the protection of this saint, acquiring a guardian angel for life.

However, some difficulties may arise here due to the fact that a girl is named, and a man is named a saint. In this case, you need to look at who is the patroness on the eighth and fortieth days after birth. It is believed that these days it is customary to name a child and carry out the sacrament of baptism, so the choice will be correct.

Numerology

There is a table where each letter of the name has its own number. If you add them up, you get a number that also influences the character and destiny of a woman:

Having calculated the number, you can familiarize yourself with the interpretation using the following detailed table:

	Single children use their charm, which makes it easy to escape punishment after an offense. Girls are often hooligans who do not know the feeling of fear.
	Twos are sensual, affectionate, constantly in need of hugs, kisses, and tenderness. They make friends once and for all, the girls are persistent and decisive.
	Curious, smart, well-read, striving to understand everything about nature.
	The main character trait is caution, children of fours try to avoid troubles, the female half are needlewomen, they get married once and for all.
	Fives are too active, energetic, athletic; girls with fives make excellent ballerinas and gymnasts.
	Very peaceful natures, strongly attached to their mother, striving to imitate her in everything.
	Sevens show independence from the very beginning. early age, do not tolerate instructions, act contrary, but often make wrong decisions. The girls try to imitate their older friends.
	Very positive individuals who know how to enjoy life smile all the time and do not show negative emotions until they are very offended.
	Nines are capricious, loving to create scandals and hysterics, draining energy from those around them.

Season

Often, beautiful girl's names are chosen based on the time of year, considering that this factor also predetermines the traits feminine character:

1. Winter girls They have a developed sense of responsibility, perseverance in achieving goals, while being cold. They are stubborn, contradictory, and find it difficult to find a common language with their household members. Therefore, it is better to name the girl a soft, beautiful female name that can soften the hard qualities of character inherent in nature: Svetlana, Ulyana, Valentina, Natalya, Lyudmila.
2. Spring girls are soft, gentle, striving for a family and the birth of children. It is difficult for them to make decisions, to defend their opinions, they think for a long time before making a decision. Babies born in the spring are flexible, so to give them strength of character, you need to choose something more rigid-sounding, for example, Marina, Larisa, Irina, Victoria, Ruslana.
3. Summer babies are endowed with creative abilities; they are impulsive, emotional, hardworking, active, and proud. Such children develop different character traits, so you can call them whatever you like.
4. Autumn young ladies are devoid of daydreaming, possess pedantry, wisdom, integrity, and balance. Such individuals lack the lightness and romance that beautiful female names Sophia, Elizaveta, Zlata, Yesenia, Olesya, Vera will add.

National traditions

IN modern world there are many international families, each member of which knows and honors their traditions. When choosing beautiful female names for girls, you should not rely only on this factor. The selection should take into account such a criterion as consonance. A balance is needed in the surname, first name and patronymic; their sound should caress the ear, and not cut off. The same applies to Old Russian nicknames, which sound beautiful in full, but are dissonant in the abbreviated version.

Fashion for female names

In such an important matter, you should not rely on fashion trends. Often women, flipping through the pages of magazines, name their daughters after actresses, models, famous figures, etc. Such an irresponsible approach may have Negative influence for the girl's future, her life path, energy shell, implementation in the profession, family. So, for example, before October revolution Christian names were popular - Anna, Katerina, Maria.

In the 20-30s, strange abbreviations appeared to call newborn Soviet citizens - Dazdraperma (Long live the First of May), Oyushminalda (Otto Yulievich Schmidt on the Ice Floe). In the 30-40s. Galina and Nina returned to fashion in the 50s. many Marias, Zoyas, and Hopes appeared. 60-70 they were distinguished by their brightness and minimalism, just like the names of the women - Zlata, Rimma, Renata.

In the 80-90s, foreign names appeared - Magda, Eva, Jeanette, as well as Rose and Marianne, as a tribute to the series “The Rich Also Cry” or “Wild Rose”. Modern parents are returning to the old Russian ones - Ulyana, Polina, Lyubava, etc. In addition to fashion, there is a list of beautiful female names in alphabetical order with a detailed interpretation, description of character traits that must be taken into account before naming your daughter.

Combination with patronymic and surname

Many parents now like to call their daughters old, foreign or rare names, which does not always form a harmonious tandem in pronunciation with the surname and patronymic. So that the girl does not suffer later, does not receive funny nicknames, but feels comfortable, be guided not only by your desires, but also by the following criteria:

1. Call bearers of complex surnames and patronymics as simply and concisely as possible.
2. It is better to name owners of rough, harsh middle names softly and tenderly.
3. The first name, last name, and patronymic should complement each other, be easy to pronounce, sound, and remember.

What names should you not give to a girl?

There are different beautiful names for girls, but sometimes the parents’ imagination goes beyond all boundaries, and the newborn is called not so much original as it is strange. To avoid such moments, it would be appropriate to use the following recommendations:

1. Be careful about naming a girl with a name that has a masculine sound (Vitaly, Bogdan, Pavel). It is possible that peers will call the child Vitalik, Bogdan, Pavlik. In addition, there is a risk that the girl will acquire masculine character traits.
2. Pay attention to the consonance with the surname and patronymic.
3. Don't let Orthodox newborn a name that does not correspond to religion. At baptism, the priest will name the baby differently, which may affect her fate; the girl will feel the duality of nature. The same goes for double naming.
4. Often, the baby’s relatives insist on an overly “folk” name for the baby (Thekla, Matryona, Pelageya) or, on the contrary, an elaborate foreign name (Juanita, Marianna, Vanessa). Agree, in combination with popular Russian surnames it will sound funny. When the baby grows up, she is unlikely to thank you.
5. Think also about the possibility of creating an abbreviated, diminutive form of the noun.

Many sources claim that a name can influence a person’s destiny. It is not yet possible to prove or disprove this with a 100% guarantee. But every parent strives to give their baby a beautiful and, in his opinion, euphonious name.

Nowadays, you can increasingly hear unusual names that came to us from abroad or “obtained” from ancient books. Even in society, children with rare names no longer react as sharply as they did ten years ago. It seems that such variety simplifies the task of naming your baby. But this is not true: a wide choice complicates the decision-making process. Sometimes it’s even difficult to narrow down the circle to two or three options.

1. How to choose a good name for a child

There are a number of criteria that will help parents make the right choice. The beauty of the sound of the full version alone may not be enough. The following should be analyzed:

• origin of the name;
• short form euphony;
• compatibility with the surname;
• meaning, translation and more.

Often parents choose names based on family customs. For example, one name can be passed on from generation to generation or two can alternate. Or parents, by coincidence, have names starting with the same letter. They may wish to preserve this feature and name the child with this factor in mind.
