20.10.2019

Even before the birth of a child, parents begin to think about how to name the baby. It is believed that the name of a person who has come into the world determines his fate and character. The list of beautiful female names is so huge that sometimes it’s not easy to pick it up. To simplify the task, there are a number of criteria (numerology, holy calendar, traditions, fashion, meaning, combination with a surname) that help determine how 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 this goes beyond common sense, when the name not only does not combine with the surname, patronymic, but also sounds terrible. Some mothers and fathers tend to name their children in honor of relatives, but if you believe in omens, be careful, because 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, and he will patronize. According to Orthodox faith, the child immediately falls under the protection of this saint, acquiring a guardian angel for life.

Nevertheless, some difficulties may arise here due to the fact that the girl is called, and the saint is a man. 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 the child and perform the sacrament of baptism, so the choice will be correct.

Numerology

There is a table where each letter of the name corresponds to its own number. If you add them up, you get a number that also affects the character and women's fate:

After calculating the number, you can familiarize yourself with the interpretation using the following detailed table:

	Unity children use their charm, which makes it easy to get away from punishment after misconduct. Girls are often hooligans who do not know the feeling of fear.
	Twos - sensual, affectionate, constantly need hugs, kisses, tenderness. They make friends once and for all, girls are persistent, resolute.
	Curious, intelligent, well-read, striving to know everything about nature.
	The main character trait is caution, four children try to avoid troubles, the female half are needlewomen, they get married once and for all.
	Fives are too mobile, energetic, athletic, five girls make excellent ballerinas, gymnasts.
	Very peaceful natures, strongly attached to their mother, striving to imitate her in everything.
	Sevens show independence from a very early age, do not tolerate instructions, act in defiance, but often make the wrong decisions. Girls try to imitate older girlfriends.
	Very positive personalities who know how to enjoy life, smile all the time, do not show negative emotions until they are very offended.
	Nines are capricious, loving to make scandals, tantrums, drawing energy from those around them.

Season

Often, beautiful girlish names are chosen based on the time of year, believing that this factor also determines the traits of a female character:

Winter girls have a developed sense of responsibility, perseverance in achieving goals, while being cold. They are stubborn, contradictory, it is difficult to find a common language with the household. Therefore, it is better to call the girl a soft, beautiful female name that can soften the hard qualities of character inherent in nature: Svetlana, Uliana, Valentina, Natalya, Lyudmila.
Spring girls are soft, gentle, striving for a family, the birth of children. It is difficult for them to make decisions, to defend their opinion, they think for a long time before making a decision. The crumbs born in the spring are flexible, therefore, in order to give them strength of character, you need to choose something more tough-sounding, for example, Marina, Larisa, Irina, Victoria, Ruslana.
Summer babies are endowed with creative abilities, they are impulsive, emotional, hardworking, active, proud. These children have different character traits, so you can call them whatever you like.
Autumn young ladies are devoid of daydreaming, possess pedantry, wisdom, adherence to principles, poise. Such personalities lack lightness, romance, which will be added by beautiful female names Sophia, Elizabeth, Zlata, Yesenia, Olesya, Vera.

National traditions

AT modern world many international families, each member of which knows and honors their traditions. 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-name-patronymic, their sound should caress the ear, and not cut. The same applies to old Russian nicknames, which sound beautiful in full, but dissonant in the abbreviated version.

Fashion for women's names

It is not necessary in such an important matter to be based on fashion trends. Often women, flipping through the pages of magazines, name their daughter in honor of actresses, models, famous figures, etc. Such an irresponsible approach can Negative influence for the future of the girl, her life path, energy shell, realization in the profession, family. So, for example, before the October Revolution, Christian names were popular - Anna, Katerina, Maria.

In the 20-30s, strange abbreviations appeared that were called newborn Soviet citizens - Dazdraperma (Long live the First of May), Oyushminalda (Otto Yulievich Schmidt on an ice floe). In 30-40 years. returned to the fashion of Galina, Nina, in the 50s. many Marys, Zoyas, Hopes appeared. 60-70s differed in brightness, minimalism, as well as the names of 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 TV series "The Rich Also Cry" or "Wild Rose". Modern parents are returning to old Russian ones - Ulyana, Polina, Lyubava, etc. In addition to fashion, there is a list of beautiful female names in alphabetical order with detailed interpretation, a description of character traits that must be considered before naming a daughter.

Combination with patronymic and surname

Many parents now like to call their daughters vintage, foreign or rare names, which does not always constitute a harmonious tandem in pronunciation with a surname, 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:

Bearers of a complex surname, patronymic, call as simply and concisely as possible.
It is better to name the owners of a rough, hard patronymic softly, gently.
Name, surname, patronymic should complement each other, be easy to pronounce, sound, remember.

What names should not be given to a girl

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

Be careful with giving the girl a masculine name (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 traits.
Pay attention to consonance with the surname, patronymic.
Don't give 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.
Quite often, the relatives of the crumbs insist on an overly "folk" naming of the baby (Thekla, Matryona, Pelageya) or, on the contrary, a pretentious foreign one (Juanita, Marianna, Vanessa). Agree, in combination with popular Russian surnames, this will sound ridiculous. When the baby grows up, she is unlikely to thank you.
Think also about the possibility of creating an abbreviated, diminutive form of naming.

The most beautiful girls names by value

Often, disputes about how to name the unborn child cause a lot of contradictions in opinions, lead to scandals, quarrels. A reference book explaining the meaning and origin of the name will help to avoid such problems. In addition, there you will find information about which surname the name is combined with, how it affects the girl's fate, the role of the girl in the family, team, etc.

The most beautiful names women and men are not just a set of characters registered in the birth certificate - we are talking about names that are given for life and accompany us daily. The Slavs believed that the fate of a person depends on the choice, so they tried to choose names for girls and boys that were as consonant as possible with the patronymic. Many adherents of esotericism assure that hard, rude phrases with a patronymic, for example, Alexander Alexandrovich, promise a difficult life path, while soft and consonant like Mikhail Vasilyevich provide for an easy and indulgent fate. For the same reason, some peoples trust the choice of the main word to a woman, believing that the mother will be able to intuitively better choose the right name for the child. But everyone, without exception, wants the name to be beautiful.

The most beautiful male and female names in the world

Many have forgotten Slavic traditions, and not only. Such names as Vitomir, Golub, Beloslav are already rare. Also among the most beautiful Slavic names we include Sbyslav and Tsvetan. In the days of pre-Christian Russia, they were the most common. Later, Greek and Latin names came from Byzantium to the Slavs. As a result, such beautiful words as Sofia, Konstantin, Anfisa and Taisiya arose. Of course, today the Slavic countries rarely use these options. Many years have passed and a huge number of new, more beautiful and interesting solutions have arisen. Don't forget about traditions!

The most common in Europe is considered man's name Mark. This name, which is of Latin origin, has become the standard of beauty among men, which led to the emergence of many others, including Marseille, Mario, Marco, Martin. Imagine that they all descended from Mark. Speaking of female European names, it is necessary to highlight Elizabeth. In translation, it means "revering the Lord." A very common word in the world, which also has different varieties. In particular, Elisabeth, Isolde, Elzbieta and Ilse.

The peculiarity of Indian names is that they resemble their traditional songs. If you say several consecutively, without stopping, you can record a good composition. The most interesting and beautiful female ones include Riya and Ayana. Worthy of attention name is Aishwarya, which means tulip.

Speaking of male Indian names, it is worth highlighting Sonu, Arjun and Anil. The latter in translation means "divine wind".

It is worth adding that in many songs there are words that have a divine affiliation, that is, the translation of which is associated with the spiritual aspects of the lives of the citizens of India.

It should be noted right away that not all relevant and modern Ukrainian names are of Slavic origin. It is for this reason that we have singled out a separate category for such amazing and consonant solutions as Vasyl, Uliana, Bogomyr, Taras.

Among the most beautiful and popular words of Ukraine should be attributed to women Nadiya, Lyubov, Maria. Among men, Sergiy, Oleksandr, Dmytro, and also Mykhaylo are popular.

Of course, Ukrainian and Russian names are almost equally popular on the territory of both states, but, as you can see, they sound different. Not at all, it is almost impossible to determine in which place they first appeared!

It should be noted right away that due to the historical, cultural and linguistic differences of Africa from other peoples, their most beautiful names are seriously different from the names familiar to us. For this reason, it may seem that they are not beautiful at all, but Africans think so. The most beautiful names of Africans:

Eyo - joyful;
Kamo is a calm warrior;
Adisa is an unquestioning warrior;
Ankoma - the youngest son;
Ajambo - born in the evening.

Thus, at the choice of the parents of a particular person, you can immediately find out some interesting information about him. For example, at what time he was born, or what is the number of children born in his family.

There are stereotypes that American and British names are equally popular in both states. No, dear friends, and not even close, as in the case of Ukraine and Russia. In fact, in Britain, the most common include Bart, Johnny, Eve, Miranda, Martin, and in the US, John, Mark, Christopher. Milan, Patricia, Louise must be added to the beautiful female names of America.

Also noteworthy are less common, but beautiful American words - Born, Eric, Chloe, Michelle.

Currently, there are two languages in Greece, conventionally called old and new Greek. Accordingly, the names of the "Old Believers" differ from modern ones. Among the beautiful, but old Greek pearls of the language, Callisto and John must be attributed. These names can be found even in ancient Greek mythology. Speaking of relatively new, but beautiful names, it is necessary to highlight Callas, Cambizes. Also interesting and consonant is Alexia, which translates as a protector.

The birth of a child is always a magical mystery and a series of pleasant troubles, one of the most important moments is the choice of a name. A person will have to walk with him all his life, so this issue must be treated with all responsibility. As a rule, the baby is named after relatives and friends, they are guided by Christmas time or they pick up an original, popular name. There are a lot of them for girls, because the lists are replenished annually with foreign words.

How to choose the right one for your daughter from the whole variety of female names? Tips, recommendations and lists of the most beautiful names can be found in this article.

When looking for an answer to the question of what to name a girl, you can be guided by the advice of psychologists, astrologers, numerologists or popular superstitions. What to choose from this arsenal is up to you.

What psychologists say

First of all, they pay attention to the case when children are named after grandmothers or great-grandmothers. It should be remembered that the absurd old name may cause discomfort to the child. If such a desire is invincible, try to find modern version an old anthroponym, for example, Aksinya, can be replaced by Oksana (Ksyusha).

Also, do not rush to reward the child with a too original movie name, think about how it will sound without being tied to the film. It is quite possible that others will look for similarities between the hero of the film and the person, and this erases individuality.

The sound composition of anthroponyms, according to experts, affects the character of a person. For example, a combination of voiced consonants with “r” will contribute to the formation of a tough character, and girls whose names are dominated by sonorants will be kinder and softer. By the way, today there are special programs with which you can check the name.

If you decide to name a girl by date and month of birth, pay attention to the zodiac sign and season. For example, astrologers say that for Lviv you need to choose luxurious, majestic names (Regina, Nadezhda, Angelica), for Taurus the names Olga, Veronika, Oksana are suitable, and for Cancers - Lada, Yana.

Tips for different months:

If the baby was born in winter, name her gently, feminine (Ulyana, Svetlana, Yulia), since this time “gives” a strong character.
For gentle ladies born in the spring, pick up stronger names: Larisa, Eleanor, Veronica.
Children born in the summer can be called whatever you want, because they can form any character traits.
Autumn people are practical, they need to be called romantically, for example, Zlata, Maria, Leah.

In numerology, there is a special table by which you can calculate the value of anthroponyms and choose the most suitable option. The table and instructions for it are easy to find on the Internet.

Folk omens and superstitions

There are also a lot of folk signs. Let's take a look at the most popular:

Babies should not be called like a relative with a bad fate, otherwise the situation may repeat itself.
You can’t give the name of a person who lives in the same house with a baby - one of the namesakes may die. People believed that everyone has a guardian angel and he will not be able to protect two people at once.
In contrast to the previous sign, there is a belief that if only girls are born to a woman, you need to name the latter in the same way as your mother, and a boy will be born next.
You should not give your child the name of a recently deceased relative.

Clarice;
Hilda;
Edita;
Seraphim.

These original names, of course, emphasize the originality of the thinking of the girl's parents. Just do not forget that the name should be combined with the surname and patronymic.

If the parents have a Russian surname, then you should carefully choose an unusual name for the child. Agree, Petrova Zemfira Antonovna sounds, at least, ugly. Do not try to satisfy your vanity at the expense of the child. After all, a baby with this name will go through life, so take his choice with all responsibility.

Double names

For various reasons, mothers and fathers give their children double names. The birth certificate of such a child states double name, but in everyday life, relatives, most often, call him some one. For example, Eva-Eugenia in kindergarten, school and at home will be called either Eva or Zhenya.

Among the double names, the following are popular: Anna-Maria, Alla-Victoria, Salma-Amira, Eva-Valeria. In double versions, it is necessary to ensure that one name symbolizes softness and femininity, and the second carries a stronger, masculine energy. This is necessary to maintain balance. Two strong names will give the girl's character a harsh shade, on the contrary, soft names will make the baby overly sentimental and dependent.

Orthodox names for girls

If you honor traditions and do not like shocking, then pay attention to the list of Orthodox names. There are also many beautiful ones among them. The most popular, today, are such names as: Maria, Sofia, Anna, Love, Ksenia.

You can also consider the following options: Daria, Elizabeth, Barbara, Angelina, Anastasia, Alexandra, Yaroslav, Eugene, Valentina, Nadezhda, Valeria, Vera, Lyudmila.

You can go the other way: choose a name by Orthodox calendar. The baby is called the name of the saint, whose feast fell on the child's birthday. It is believed that the saint becomes the patron of the baby, they pray to him for the protection and admonition of the child.

Making a choice

Beautiful names for girls should be not only rare, but also consonant with the patronymic and surname. How to do right choice? We suggest you write down the options you like on a piece of paper. Then correlate them with the surname and patronymic. Ugly combinations - cross out. We analyze the remaining options for how rare this name is. After that, you need to read its characteristics and make the final choice.

If you want your girl to be feminine, tender, give her an appropriate name. It can be: Alice, Elina, Snezhana or any other name with soft energy. Do you dream of an independent and active child? Strong names will help you, for example, Violetta, Esfira, Inga. But you should not rely only on the characteristics of names, because the character of the child, to a greater extent, depends on education.

Conclusion

When deciding how to name your daughter, remember that the name should not only be harmonious and beautiful. The decisive moment in making a decision should be a combination with a surname and patronymic. No matter how beautiful, in your opinion, the name is, discard it if it causes dissonance with the surname or is absolutely incompatible with the patronymic.

Choosing a name for a child is an exciting and touching moment. After all, beautiful names for girls are striking in their diversity. Approach the choice responsibly, thoughtfully. Then, the matured daughter will tell you: “Thank you for the best name in the world!”
