After the birth of a child or even before birth, parents are faced with the question of what to name the baby. With the help of a beautiful name, mothers and fathers strive to direct the child’s life along the path of good luck and prosperity, identify his personality and preserve certain family traditions.

How to choose a beautiful name for a newborn boy?

Harmony and prudence are the main principles that should be followed when naming a newborn. A correctly chosen name should be combined with the patronymic and surname, and not be overly pretentious or difficult to pronounce.

The baby should be named in accordance with cultural and religious traditions. For example, it is better not to name a Russian boy Said or Domenik, which may cause ridicule in the future.

Before naming a boy, you should familiarize yourself with several rules:

1. Preservation of individuality. You should not name your baby after the father, other close relatives or great figures. By giving preference to such names, mom and dad often have high hopes for their son, which he will not always be able to justify. In the future, this often leads to conflicts between parents and child.
2. Preference for “masculine” names. By naming the baby Zhenya, Sasha, Valya, you can provoke ridicule of the boy in the future. Coupled with an inflexible surname, such a naming may cause strangers to mistake him for a girl.
3. Respect for tradition. Despite the mixing of cultures and global integration, you should not name your baby with a name from another tradition, which will be disharmonious with the Russian patronymic and surname.

Beautiful male names according to the church calendar

Believing parents adhere to the method of naming their sons according to church canons. Often babies are named after saints. Being mediators between God and people, even after death they grant parishioners faith, which allows them to survive the adversities of fate. It is believed that with their help you can protect the baby from evil.

You can name your son according to the calendar, and if it is impossible to make a choice on your own, consult with a spiritual mentor. Today, most often they are guided not by the calendar, but by the list of saints revered by the church. The most popular names are:

• Nikolai;
• Vladimir;
• Basil;
• Andrey;
• Michael;
• Mark;
• Konstantin;
• Kirill and others

Choosing a name by horoscope

This ancient tradition involves naming a baby by date of birth. The method involves drawing up a natal chart, from which a suitable name is accurately determined. This method remained for a long time the exclusive prerogative of the wealthy aristocracy. Today, anyone can use it after receiving expert advice.

To determine a name based on a horoscope, it is not necessary to contact an astrologer. You can choose it from a list of names that are most suitable for a particular zodiac sign.

The following beautiful names are often used to name boys:

• Aries – Alexander, Alexey, Artem, Egor, Nikolay, Yaroslav;
• Taurus – Anton, Bogdan, Daniil, Ilya, Maxim, Nikita;
• twins - Heinrich, Evgeniy, Igor, Konstantin, Sergei;
• cancer – Andrey, Vitaly, Stanislav;
• lion – Alexander, Artem, Ivan, Kirill, Mark;
• maiden - Vsevolod, Gennady, Gleb, Denis, Rostislav, Stepan;
• Libra – Anatoly, Anton, Vitaly, Leonid, Mikhail, Oleg, Plato;
• Scorpio – Arseny, Rodion, Ruslan, Fedor, Yuri;
• Sagittarius - Vladimir, Vyacheslav, Peter, Roman, Yan, Yaroslav;
• Capricorn - Arthur, Vadim, Gleb, Denis, Egor, Nikolai;
• Aquarius - Leonid, Gennady, Oleg, Ruslan, Svyatoslav;

Trendy vintage names

Over the past few years, children have been actively given old names. This trend is connected with society’s interest in history and native culture. By naming their sons in the old manner, parents strive to turn them to their national roots. Often a name is chosen under the influence of the prevailing fashion and mentality in society.

The most popular ancient names are:

1. Matvey. He is distinguished by hard work and perseverance, but at the same time reserved. He often chooses a profession that requires concentration and methodfulness - surgery, sports, banking. He has natural uncertainty, and therefore it is necessary to encourage Matvey’s initiative from early childhood so that he achieves success.
2. Zakhar. Despite some harshness in sound, this name denotes a sentimental and good-natured person. He is distinguished by a caring and flexible character, which largely determines his future profession. He is not attracted to office work. Most often, he connects his life with a technical or agricultural specialty.
3. Vsevolod. Rarely finds himself in unpleasant situations, which is associated with prudence and the ability to suppress dangerous moments in the bud with the help of humor and diplomacy. He has the gift of persuasion and the ability to get along with others, for which he enjoys the respect of people. Vsevolod is persistent, firm and diligent, but does not always strive for victory. He may concede the palm to a more worthy person, in his opinion.
4. Gordey. He is peaceful and optimistic. Although outwardly modest, he has inner strength and energy. He is an interesting storyteller and attentive listener.
5. Luke. Despite the similarity with the verb “to deceive,” this name denotes an honest person. The purposefulness of his character is combined with impulsiveness. He thinks carefully about solving a problem and persistently moves along the path to achieve results. In defending his interests he can show uncompromisingness and impetuosity.

Beautiful Russian names for a child

When parents want to name their son in accordance with Russian tradition, they often mistakenly give preference to ancient names, which today look somewhat pretentious - Svyatogor, Varlaam, Dobrynya, Ostromir are not very suitable for modern children and are accepted by society as the extravagance of their parents. The ranking of 10 Russian names that are most relevant today includes:

• Elisha;
• Plato;
• Nikolai;
• Michael;
• Paul;

Popular foreign names for boys: English and American

In English-speaking countries, there is a popular tradition of naming children with two names: personal and middle. The first is the distinctive naming of the baby and is used in everyday life. The second is most often given in honor of a close relative, and in official documents it is indicated between the main name and surname.

If in the post-Soviet environment names are of Greek, Latin, and Old Russian origin, then in English culture authentic names are predominantly popular:

• today in Britain boys are often called Pauls, Davids, Georges, Jacobs, Alans, Marks;
• in the United States, sons are named Richard, William, Noah, Robert, Aaron.

How to choose a beautiful Muslim name?

In Muslim culture, the method of naming children in accordance with ancient documents is especially popular. The wrong choice of name for a boy can cause bad luck, poverty, illness, laziness in the future, which pushes parents to name him in honor of the saints: Muhammad, Abdul, Idris, Qadir, Rahim, etc.

Muslim culture is characterized by the same meaning for several names that differ in sound. For example, Hasan and Elmir mean beauty, while Zabir, Qavi and Ali characterize a person who is strong and powerful. It is noteworthy that there are no negative names, which explains the desire of parents to provide their children with a better fate.

Muslim traditions are replete with names denoting beauty. You can call the boy Anwar (light, bright), Jamil (handsome), Dilyair (soulful), Ihsan (merciful), Ramil (magical), Fazil (talented). If parents cannot decide on their own the issue of naming their son, they can turn to the imam.

Before the revolution, on the territory of the Russian Empire, Muslims had a common practice of using two names. The child received his first naming as a talisman. To protect his son from the evil eye, this name was hidden from strangers. The second was of lesser importance and was used in everyday life. During Soviet times, this tradition died out, but today there is a return to it.

Unusual and rare names

By calling their sons unusual names, parents strive to give them a bright personality. Such children may deviate from public opinion, and sometimes go against it. Wanting to achieve any success despite the influence of external factors, they can only count on their perseverance and fortitude.

Parents sometimes make the mistake of calling their son a rare name in order to endow him with the qualities of a fighter. If for some boys it becomes an impetus for the formation of a bright individuality, with the help of which they achieve success under any circumstances, then for the other it is a cause of constant psychological discomfort.

For thoughtful, calm children, a non-standard name is an annoying factor that attracts unnecessary attention. By calling the baby Oscar, Azat, Mikel or Radislav, parents endow him not with the strength to defend his beliefs, but with a source of internal conflict. He is expected to constantly prove his worth, while he requires solitude to develop his personality.

The rare name must be combined with the child's last and patronymic names. Combinations such as Petrova Madonna Alekseevna or Kozlov Marcel Ivanovich sound disharmonious.

When naming the baby, they take into account the national and cultural characteristics of the prevailing mentality in society. For example, names such as Arkhip, Bronislav, Borislav, Lavrentiy go well with surnames of Slavic origin.

Choosing a name depending on the time of year

When choosing a name, parents are traditionally guided by the month of their son's birth. There is an opinion about the relationship between the seasons and certain character traits of the baby.

It is believed that children born in winter are stubborn and domineering. To soften these traits, sons are named with names containing soft sounds:

• Alexei;
• Leonid;
• Nikita;
• Paul;
• Basil.

Babies born in spring are distinguished by a romantic and sublime character. It is recommended to call them by traditional male names to balance their subtle nature, giving them courage and strength:

• Konstantin;
• Stepan;
• Bogdan;
• Egor;
• Sergey.

Children born in summer have a brave and kind-hearted character. To enhance these qualities, it is recommended to choose sonorous names:

• Elizar;
• Philip;
• Denis;
• Yuri;
• Vitaly.

“Autumn” children are often distinguished by mistrust and some egocentrism. To give your baby sociability and friendliness, choose simple sonorous names:

• Anton;
• Nazar;
• Yakov;
• Nahum;
• Tikhon;
• Semyon.

Rating of the most popular modern names

Today there is a decline in interest in foreign names. Children are called less and less often in the Old Russian manner. In 2018, boys often began to be called neutral names: Levs, Alexanders, Ivans, Maxims, Romans, Rodions and Kirills. The TOP of popular names also includes Daniil, Vladislav, Gleb and Mark.

The choice of a name is no less important in the formation of a child’s personality than his further upbringing. In an effort to name their son unusually, parents sometimes forget about correctness and appropriateness in resolving this issue. The purpose of naming is to designate the boy’s individuality and direct his destiny onto a prosperous path, and not pretentiousness and expression of the tastes of moms and dads.

A modern male name for a child is a very abstract concept. Old Russian, foreign, “Russianized” names of predominantly ancient Greek and Latin origin, creative ones - in each of these groups there are names that are relevant today.

• Consonance with full name. The abundance of letters “r” in the surname and patronymic can be balanced by a soft name devoid of this letter. And vice versa.
• Harmonization with surname and patronymic. An ornate name with a simple surname and patronymic sounds ridiculous. As well as most ordinary, modest names, coupled with unusual or foreign surnames.
• Some people believe that if there is no letter “r” in the baby’s middle name, then it must be in the name, otherwise the child will grow up to be too soft-tempered. An excess of the letter “r” also does not bode well, so if this letter is present in the patronymic, the name must be chosen without it.
• It would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the interpretation of the name before naming the child. Male names have a wide variety of meanings, and there is an opinion that a “weak” name can negatively affect the baby’s future.
• It is considered bad luck to name a baby in honor of those who died, especially tragic deaths, relatives or great martyrs. There is an opinion that the child can repeat their fate.

Russian male names for children

Young parents, in contrast to pretentious overseas names, are increasingly calling their children names of Old Church Slavonic origin.

According to the method of formation, Slavic names can be divided into categories:

• Names given by birth order. The first-born could be called Pervush, the next born boy - Second, the third child - Tretyak.
• Names of the gods: Yarilo.
• Names derived from the names of representatives of flora and fauna: Hare, Pike, Wolf, Eagle, Walnut.
• Names derived from human qualities: Moguta, Brave, Stoyan.
• Names formed from participles: Khoten, Nezhdan, Zhdan.
• Two-basic names formed using two roots, as well as their derivatives: Bogdan - “given by God”, Miroslav - “praising the world”, Burislav - “stormy glory”. Princely family names, for the most part, were two-base.

It is the two-basic Slavic names that are most widespread these days, but in other categories there are very euphonious male names. A list of child-friendly options is provided below.

Orthodox male names for children

Orthodox names for children are recorded in the Saints. The calendar is a church book in which holidays and commemorated saints are listed in calendar order.

At that time, people believed that a saint and a child who was named after him would form a special bond.

Caesar is a famous commander and dictator, Bartholomew is an Aramaic name translated as “son of the plowed soil,” which was borne by one of Christ’s disciples.

Conclusion

The range of names for boys these days is simply huge. If future or established parents are interested in current male names for a child in 2018, then it is worth turning to the top of the same name for the current year: practice shows that the “winners” of such charts remain in demand for a long time.

In general, it is not so important what origin the child’s name comes from. The main thing is that parents like it and suit the baby.

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 of his own life, a successor.

For this reason, the best name for a boy in terms of meaning and sound should immediately speak to those around him, whose son he is. In our modern life, you can find various variations and even summary tables, according to which you are asked to choose 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 the characteristics and descriptions of personal qualities, suitable options are selected using a horoscope. 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 mothers and fathers attach particular importance to 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

Recently, parents have been trying to distinguish their child from his peers, believing that the best name in the world for boys should be rare, unusual and resonant. 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 foreign names for their children, 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 meaning of even the best Muslim name for a boy 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 a positive lifestyle, is 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. In any case, they prepare thoroughly for such an important event, for example, they 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 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. From an early age they are instilled with 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 paired 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 cities with a population of over a million, you can meet a large number of 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. The most extreme case that justifies parents who decide to give such a name is the desire to highlight the child and make him more noticeable.

By time of year

There is another way to choose a name while the parents have not decided and are searching - according to the season when he is due to be born. There are four of them in total, and they are usually distinguished by personality characteristics. Starting from the very first, winter, we can give a brief description of the boy’s future personality: he is strong-willed and purposeful, possessing good health and hard work. Therefore, the name must be appropriate: Valery, Egor, Yuri, Dmitry, Victor, Damir, Vadim, Sergey, Oleg, Platon.

Next comes spring. And this is a warmer character, sociable, reasonable. Boys born at this time of year should have a meaning in their name that defines them as cautious and non-conflicting. Suitable ones would be Nikita, Ivan, Philip, Alexey, Boris, German, Danil, Kuzma, Rostislav, Ilya.

The summer season is associated with names that speak of generosity, friendliness, and openness. Therefore, the best options may be such as Vasily, Kirill, Makar, Nikolai, Miron, Arseny, Roman, Anton, Yulian. And the year ends with the autumn season, which speaks of the presence of such traits as family, honesty, caring, logic, and intelligence. Suitable names for boys: Evgeny, Peter, Artem, Ruslan, Matvey, Bogdan, Fedor, Rinat.

Often in a family where a male child is expected, one of the most difficult problems is choosing a 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.
• A deceased relative. Not a good 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. So that the future child is 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 boy names are more suitable for 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 is 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 days in the 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, a successful job and a 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.
• Sergei is an ideal father and husband.
• 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 of 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.
