The strangest female names list. The most beautiful and rare names for girls

  • 20.10.2019

Choosing a name for a baby is a difficult and responsible task. Thousands of parents daily puzzle over what interesting female names now in fashion, how not to make a mistake and charge your beloved child with happiness for life. A woman is always a mystery, it is mysterious 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 fate for your daughter.

We are for modern fashion!

If you constantly follow the trends and do not miss a single significant event, then we recommend that you look at the beautiful ones. You don’t have to break your tongue over pronunciation, and, of course, any traditional Russian version is ideally combined with a simple Russian patronymic.

A popular magazine recently conducted a survey. 45 thousand men answered the question about which female name is the most pleasant for them. The top three included Katenka, Victoria and Nastenka. They are followed by Ksyusha, Tanechka and Natashenka. 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 we recall famous actresses, they will always be associated with the standards of beauty and elegance. It is not surprising that French names for women are in fashion with us. In kindergartens, you can increasingly meet Adele, Camilla, Violetta. Veronica (with an emphasis on the last syllable) is similar to our Vika - both names mean victory, but have different origin. Irene (by analogy with Ira) - a 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 has changed. For example, Jeanette comes from the Hebrew language, and Barbara comes from the ancient Roman language. Here are a few more interesting options: Vivienne (live), Giselle (arrow), Josephine (kind), Monica (affectionate), Mary (beloved), Margot (precious), Emmanuelle (given by God).

We are German favorites

German female names always impress. Despite the fact that the very language of the German people is rude, and not everyone likes it, their names are charming. Girls named after a German name will surely be successful and the attention of others.

For example, Mirabellas are very sensitive and vulnerable natures. They make excellent housewives and faithful wives. But Isolde is the name for a strong personality who will surely achieve success in her career. Isolde's name translates as "cold gold" and therefore she can be dangerous, but only with those who do not appreciate her.

Other popular German female names are: Alma (blessed), Gertrude (warrior, heroine), Hanrietta (noble girl), Iolanthe (violet), Frederick (powerful), Emily (rival), Frieda (loyal), Hannah (gifted). In Russia, you can often meet Inga, Maryana, Nelly. These names are firmly rooted in our country, although they are of Germanic origin.

We look to the east

Oriental 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 mixture of cultures leads to the fact that in our country more and more often Russian girls are called traditional Muslim names. And at the same time they grow up happy and loved. Consider which Arab women's

Often there are girls Guli, Naili, Kamila. They are beautiful like flowers, respected and merciful. Malika, Jamilya, Laysan sound like juicy chords... Naming a child with 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. That 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 that before they receive their birth certificate. Most residents of 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 primordially Russian origin are now, surprisingly, rare. What is not sweet-sounding Elena, Vera, Natalia? You will be surprised, but it is very difficult to meet modern newborns with such names. But Sofia and Daria are found in almost every ward of maternity hospitals.

Old female names are used even less frequently. Some 100-200 years ago, among the common people, they sounded everywhere, but now they have lost their former glory. Perhaps someone will like one of these options: Agapia, Agnia, Adeline, Anthony, Vasilisa, Evdokia, Emeliana, Zoya, Zlata, Matryona, Milena, Pelageya, Praskovya, Seraphim, 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 Kievan Rus, because then the name must have made sense. And all the more familiar to us - Barbara, Sophia, Maria, Julia, Anna came to our country from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Popular female names in Russia


Other common female names

Not included in the top 3, but also interesting female names that are more common than others, are Ksenia, Uliana, Varvara, Alexandra, Valeria. Less common - Alina, Arina, Yana, Alice, Veronica. Lydia, Milana, Vasilisa, Diana, Margarita, Zlata are considered undeservedly forgotten. Such girls are found one in several hundred.

Conclusion

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

Elena Zhabinskaya

Dear future mothers, most likely, you already know the gender of your unborn child and are expecting a little princess.

You know exactly what she will be - beautiful, funny, mischievous, inquisitive and kind, and you want to give her all the best. Therefore, you already know how to choose the right one and which one to buy.

The most important, pleasant and significant thing remains: to sort through all the names for girls and choose the most beautiful and best for your little princess. This is a very responsible choice, because it will leave an imprint on the whole future life and fate of the child.

Will your girl grow up to be a downtrodden quiet, following the lead of someone else's, stronger, opinion, will she be aggressive and ready to repel an invisible attack every second? Or will it develop into a harmonious personality with an even character and a benevolent disposition? You will not believe it, but a lot depends on the name that you give her. That is why it is important to make the right choice and consciously.

Numerous scientists have long noticed that people with the same names have similar character traits.

As one of the explanations, the phenomenon of "music of names" is given. According to him, some names sound melodious, literally caress the ear and evoke positive emotions the one who speaks and the one who hears. Others, on the contrary, make you cringe and tense up.

Each name is a set of sounds of one or another pitch and key. All sounds affect different parts of the brain in different ways. Since a person hears what they call him several dozen times a day, this forms a certain psycho-emotional state and certain character traits. There are hard, hard names: Zhanna, Dina, Tamara. They contribute to the formation of a persistent, stubborn, decisive character. There are soft and melodic ones: Svetlana, Natalya, Anna, which will be the prerequisites for the formation of a soft and docile character.

In addition, there is another reasonable explanation for the influence of the name on fate. Hearing the name, we draw conclusions about the nationality of a person (Maria, Olga, Anna, Ekaterina), possible religion (Gulnara, Zulfiya), alleged character traits (calm Elena, fiery Tatyana). Having succumbed to the first impression, we draw some conclusions about a person. And, of course, when thousands of people “endow” someone with certain qualities when they meet, this leaves an imprint on the personality.

An interesting fact: scientists recently conducted a study and found out that girls with attractive romantic names (Angelina, Angelica, Milana) move up the career ladder worse, but are much more successful in the creative environment and show business.

How to choose

When choosing a name for a girl, you can be guided by different theories and principles (we will talk about them below). However, there are some general recommendations that need to be taken into account.

The name must match the nationality of the child. This is a fairly obvious rule, and usually in a family of Orthodox Christians it would never occur to anyone to name their daughter Khadija, Alfiya or Alsu. In the same way, the presence of a child, for example, with the name Vera, Anna, Olga, in a Tatar or Muslim family immediately creates dissonance.

The name must be combined with the surname and patronymic of the girl. Various combinations of full name the child will have to hear very often. First, the last name and first name at school, then the first name and patronymic in adult life at work. Therefore, say all these combinations several times, so to speak, taste them.

If the surname and patronymic are long, then the name should be chosen shorter. It is convenient to show this by my personal example. When we chose what to name our daughter, we saw that we had just a long surname and patronymic, so we chose a shorter name so as not to fall asleep while you pronounce it in full. It turned out like this: Zhabinskaya Eva Dmitrievna. Both together and separately, the combinations are not long and euphonious. Compare, for example, as if it were Zhabinskaya Ekaterina Dmitrievna, or Zhabinskaya Anastasia Dmitrievna. For me, a very long time.

At the junction of the last name and first name, first name and patronymic, there should not be a pile of consonant letters that make pronunciation difficult. In this case, the child will tense up in advance in anticipation that they can pronounce something incorrectly, which will form uncertainty and tightness. For example, it is more difficult to pronounce Christina Stern than Alice Stern.

It is necessary to try so that the name easily forms a diminutive form, so that communication with the baby can be painted in a different range of emotions.

How not to call a girl

When choosing how to name a girl in 2017, you must always remember that a baby with this name will live: go to Kindergarten, school, university, build a career. Therefore, it is inappropriate and stupid to be guided by momentary fashion or emotions in such an important issue.

Do not give unpronounceable, unpronounceable and strange names. For example, Traktorina, Wilhelmina, Gloriosa, Eupraxia, Xanthippus, Mitrodora. The child will feel awkward from birth at every need to name himself, which can develop an inferiority complex and insecurity.

Don't name children after historical events or prominent people. Events go down in history, and politicians are often criticized over time. As a result, a name that seemed meaningful and relevant to you, ten years later, will sound ridiculous, inappropriate and stupid, confusing the child and developing complexes for him. For example, Dazdraperma (Long live the first of May), the Olympics (in honor of the Winter Olympics in Sochi), Crimea (in honor of the annexation of the peninsula), Stalin (in honor of Stalin).

You should not call the baby as well as relatives who died a violent death or tragically. You can believe in mysticism or not, but there are statistics according to which such people more often repeat the fate of unfortunate ancestors.

Recently, there has been a fashion for double names (Anna-Maria, Victoria-Elizabeth). Moms explain this choice something like this: the queen - the royal name (hinting that all the reigning persons always had two names). But firstly, we are still not royal, and secondly, this is not a game of princesses, but a real children's life. I do not see the need to create additional difficulties and awkward situations for the child in communicating with peers.

Names for girls by month according to the church calendar

Our ancestors did not have to puzzle over suitable name for a child. It was enough to look into the saints - church calendar with the names of saints.

It was believed that the saint, on whose day the baby was born, would be his protector and patron, respectively, the baby was called that name.

In our time, although the saints have already played their role, and the choice of the name of the child is at the mercy of the imagination of the parents, sometimes it is still possible, and even necessary, to look into the church calendar.

Who knows, perhaps it is there that you will draw inspiration and, according to the calendar, will find an unusual name for a girl, which, moreover, will carry a secret spiritual meaning, because the guardian angel himself will protect such a baby.

Now church canons are not so strict, and in order to give parents more choice in names, calendars are used by months, not by days. This means that the name of the patron saint can be chosen from a list related to the baby's birth month.

  • Girls born in September can be called the following names of patron saints: Thekla, Martha, Natalia, Maria, Kira, Anfisa, Anna, Elizabeth, Tatiana, Natalia, Xenia, Vasilisa, Sofia, Lyudmila, Vera, Love, Hope, Raisa, Evdokia, Seraphim.
  • In October, patronize: Elizabeth, Zlata, Zinaida, Pelageya, Taisiya, Tatyana, Nadezhda, Veronica, Anna, Alexandra, Maria, Sofia, Iraida, Ariadna, Irina.
  • In November: Anna, Elizabeth, Nina, Alexandra, Claudia, Elena, Anastasia, Maria, Pelageya, Matryona, Olga.
  • In December: Zoya, Vera, Marina, Alexandra, Tatyana, Anna, Anfisa, Barbara, Ekaterina, Julia, Kira, Tamara, Maria, Margarita.
  • In January: Maria, Sofia, Nina, Tatiana, Julia, Anastasia, Vasilisa, Evgenia, Polina, Melania, Maria, Anna, Barbara, Augusta, Claudia.
  • In February: Sofia, Anna, Vera, Svetlana, Irina, Zoya, Maria, Christina, Ekaterina, Pelageya, Xenia, Anastasia, Agnia, Vasilisa, Rimma.

  • In June: Pelageya, Anna, Antonina, Martha, Valeria, Maria, Julia, Ulyana, Thekla, Susanna, Vera, Elena, Efrosinya, Nina, Thekla.
  • In July: Marina, Margarita, Alevtina, Valentina, Julia, Maria, Olga, Elena, Evdokia, John, Agrippina, Zoya, Anna, Rimma, Zina.
  • In August: Maria, Sofia, Eva, Daria, Nona, Evdokia, Elizabeth, Elena, Anfisa, Christina, Susanna, Mavra.

Beautiful Russian names

As you know, classic is always in fashion. And names are no exception. Most Russian traditional names are rooted in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. But this only adds to their charm and history.

With such a name, the baby will feel comfortable, and it will most likely go well with her last name and patronymic.

Popular modern names for girls

Sociologists annually analyze which female names are more popular with parents. According to statistics recent years, in addition to the classic Russian names that we reviewed above, young parents are attracted to the following.


rare and beautiful

Classical names are beautiful and cozy, but nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with them. And so you want to show everyone that your baby is special. Therefore, I propose to go in search of not only beautiful, but also rare names for girls.


Old Russian

One of the latest fashion trends is to call children old Russian names. I'm wary of this idea, and here's why. As a rule, such names are still used extremely rarely in our time.

Accordingly, they are unusual for a child's ear, and again in this case we are faced with the danger that the baby will be a misfortune crow in children's team, will begin to be ashamed of his name, feel awkward when he needs to be called, or when they will turn to her.

There is always such a danger, because we do not know in advance what character and temperament our baby will have. Perhaps someone will not be shy and will be able to stand up for themselves, while someone will close up and refuse to attend school.

Therefore, I do not see the need to give children too rare old Russian names, such as Martha, Thekla, Lukerya, Pelageya, Efrosinya, Agrippina, Aglaya.

There is a theory according to which people born at a certain time of the year have common features character and inclinations.

Knowing these patterns, you can align and adjust the character of a person in the right direction.

So, for example, cold and harsh weather conditions form a tough, hard and uncompromising character in those born in winter. Therefore, there is a recommendation to try to give such girls soft, gentle and affectionate names, in order to add femininity and kindness in this way. In this case, such names as Elena, Alice, Sophia will be appropriate, and unsuccessful (they will only strengthen, aggravate the character) Kira, Olga, Zhanna.

Spring, on the contrary, contributes to the formation of soft, indecisive personalities. It is difficult for such girls to resist other people's opinions, it is difficult to say a firm no, to stop unpleasant statements or actions. They, on the contrary, need to add hardness. The name Marina, Christina, Dina will do. Natalya, Dashenka, Svetlana will be unsuccessful.

In the summer, emotional, impressionable girls are born, good-natured and often spineless. Their character should be balanced with firm, stable names, for example, Martha, Barbara.

Autumn - best time for the birth of balanced, whole personalities. They can be given any names without fear.

What can the season say?

The tendency to name a child according to the month in which he was born comes from ancient times. Beautiful foreign names for girls, chosen in honor of the season in which they were born, will allow you to fully reveal your character and influence fate.

"Julius" and "Julia" by etymology have similar features with the second summer month - July. August (Augustin) and Augusta (Augustina) are less common names that children are called mainly in Russia. The revolution in 1917 brought about fundamental changes in people's lives. The fashion to name children October and Oktyabrina appeared almost a hundred years ago and is connected precisely with this event. Noyabrina and Dekabrina name girls born in these months.

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt named her daughter Autumn (English - "autumn") - this is how "autumn" sounds in English. The choice of a star mother is not accidental, because the baby was born on September 28. Beautiful for girls, March and April are very common in Europe and America. Obviously, the name Maya also comes from the month of spring.

A resident of Arkhangelsk distinguished himself with originality, who hardly manages to change his passport. Andrei Valentinovich Khristoforov changes his name 12 times a year and chooses a name in honor of the corresponding month, and a patronymic in honor of the season. So, he was October Osenievich, December Zimnievich. The man admits that he would like to name himself in honor of the day of the week and change his name every day, but the employees of the registry office would hardly have made a concession to him.

Many sources claim that the name can affect the fate of a person. It is still impossible to prove or disprove this with a 100% guarantee. But every parent strives to give his baby a beautiful and, in his opinion, harmonious name.

Now more and more often you can hear unusual names that came to us from abroad or "extracted" from old books. Even in society, children with rare names are no longer reacted as sharply as they were ten years ago. It seems that such a variety simplifies the task of naming your baby. But this is not the case: a wide choice complicates the decision-making process. Sometimes, it is 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 may not be enough. The following should be analyzed:

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

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

If speak about fashion trends, then the trend is Old Slavonic, international and even short names that are included in the documents. Among the latter are Marusya, Sasha, Lena, Kit and others. Even made-up names are no longer a rarity.

If the idea came to mind to invent a name on your own, then you should take into account the combination of each of the syllables of the word and its full sound. The chosen or invented word should be melodic. Its purpose is to emphasize the character that parents would like to see in a child. Or focus on some visible features of the baby. For example, red hair or big eyes.

2. Fashionable and beautiful names for boys

It is considered that beautiful name is of great importance for girls. However, parents are seriously puzzled in the process of naming the boy. It is at this moment that fathers and mothers seek to lay in the child some traits that will need to be developed in the future. Therefore, most of the names chosen for male babies mean nobility, masculinity, strength, courage, intelligence and the ability to protect the weak.

Among the usual male names, their own variations appeared, designed to make these words more refined and original. This is due to a new generation of young parents who are fighting for the uniqueness of everything related to their offspring. So all kinds of Maximus, Alejandro and Damiana are born.

The desire to bring foreign chic into the mediocrity of Russian reality gave rise to countless Alens, Bernards, Daniels, Jules, Laurents, Lucs, Mathieus, Nathans, Pierres and others among Ivans and Sergeyevs, undoubtedly attracting the attention of boys. Parents with such a violent fantasy should take into account that Francisco Ivanov or Günter Semenov will cause nothing but laughter from classmates. Even adults will not be able to calmly respond to such combinations.

3. Choosing a name for a girl

In the case of the birth of a girl, parents also have a difficult task. During adolescence, girls are more likely than boys to say that they do not like their name. Of course, you can make a reference to the rebellious age and whims, but still, you should take care in advance that the child himself likes the name.

An interesting fact: Roman women most often did not have their own name. They were honored only with a generic name or the so-called cognomen of the husband. In Greece, quite the opposite: every girl born was given a completely new name.
