Many sources claim that the name may affect the fate of a person. It is impossible to prove or refute this with an absolute guarantee. But each parent seeks to give his baby a beautiful and, in his opinion, euphonic name.
Now around you can increasingly hear the unusual names that have come to us from abroad or "extracted" from old books. Even in society, children with rare names are no longer reacting as acutely as they were ten years ago. It seems that such diversity simplifies the task of naming your baby. But this is not the case: a wide choice complicates the decision-making process. Sometimes, even difficult to narrow the circle to two or three options.
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 full version alone may not be enough. The following should be analyzed:
- the origin of the name;
- sweet sounds of short form;
- surname;
- value, translation and more.
Often parents choose names based on family customs. For example, one name can be passed from generation to generation or alternate two.Or parents, by coincidence, have names that start with one letter. They may wish to retain this feature and name the child with this factor in mind.
If we talk about fashion trends, then in the trend are Old Slavic, international and even short names that are entered into documents. Among the latter are Marusya, Sasha, Lena, Keith and others. Even made-up names are no longer a rarity.
If the idea came to mind to invent a name, then you should consider the combination of each of the syllables of the word and its full sound. The chosen or made up 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.
Fashionable and beautiful names for boys
It is believed that a beautiful name is of great importance only for girls. However, parents are seriously puzzled in the process of naming a boy. It is at this moment that fathers and mothers seek to lay in the child some features 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 appeared their own variations, designed to make these words more refined and original. This is due to the 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 introduce into the ordinary Russian reality of foreign chic among Ivanov and Sergeyev gave birth to countless Alain, Bernard, Daniel, Jules, Laurent, Luke, Mathieu, Natanov, Pierov and others, undoubtedly attracting the attention of boys. Parents with such a violent fantasy should take into account that Francisco Ivanov or Gunter Semenov will not cause anything but laughter among classmates. Even adults will not be able to calmly respond to such combinations.

Choosing a name for a girl
In the case of the birth of a girl, parents also have a difficult task. In adolescence, girls more often than boys declare that they do not like their name. Of course, you can make a reference to rebellious age and whims, but still it is worthwhile to make sure that the child himself likes the name.
Interesting fact: Roman women most often did not have a name. They were honored with only a generic name or the so-called cognomen of her husband. In Greece, quite the opposite: every girl who was born was given a completely new name.
