"Let's call Antoshka!" - serenely purring you, listening attentively to your stomach.
- Aaaa ... Do you remember, your first love. The truth is told, she does not rust ...
- Yes, and I did not even think !!!! Just read: Anton - then, "coming into battle," and our boy, as he pushes, his hand bounces! - You hasten to calm down the faithful. - Well, maybe then Alyosha or Kolenka?
- Yeah. It's like your father, or what? And where did Nikolas come from? Is that like our neighbor ?!
That's what the family idyllic life threatens to end ...
The following months you frantically go through all the known / unknown / just invented names. And you reach a consensus - Leonid, in honor of the spouse, of course. But you are absolutely not ready for the birth of a girl ... And yet, how to choose a name for the future child and what should the future parents be guided by? Fashion? Respect for ancestors or saints? Or maybe just a non-standard way of thinking?
NAME "ORDIN"
The choice of a name for a child is the prerogative of his parents. Under Russian law, such a "first gift" is their right. In addition, you can choose not one but two names. In this case, the first is considered the main one. Do you want to call a crumb extraordinary? Call. In the registry office it is not right to refuse to assign a name to the child chosen by the parents, unless it contradicts the norms of public morality or national traditions. But do not be surprised if the crumb of the "gift" is not appreciated and will begin to besiege this establishment with a statement already about changing the "very-very" name.
THIS IS IN OURSELVES!
"You can joke with a man, but you can not joke with his name" - wrote Marina Tsvetaeva. By the way, Russians understand this and accept it. In any case, "brand" a newborn patriotic name of the type of Russia or futuristic BOCH rVF 260602, as in one state, do not try. And every attempt to avoid the cliched names is remembered for a long time. So, for example, the Moscow registry office remembers how a newborn boy the parents wanted to call Jesus. Besides, his sister was called an angel. But in principle, Russians often began to pay tribute to history and biblical commandments. Men's names Makar, Zakhar, David, Tikhon, Serafim and women's - Melania, Barbara, Stephanie, Sofia or Arina do not surprise employees of the registry office. And this is from another opera. More precisely melodramas ... Once Marianna and Mary began to sit on the stools for feeding even earlier than soap operas "Just Maria" and "Rich too cry" came off the blue screens. Another name from the "series", however, already book - Angelica. So momentary wishes of impressionable mothers once created a tendency in the naming of offspring. And today, if you just appear on the screen of some "long-playing" series, like a modern woman, stroking your tummy, begins to seriously try on the name of the main character to her future daughter.
- What is your name?
- Nikita.
- And me Nikita! - The usual conversation at the sandbox of modern three-year plans. However, if the "yard Sahara" is large in size, then the number of dirty Nikita per square meter of the playground will undoubtedly increase. The thing is that this name is the most popular one in the last few years. And what was fashionable yesterday, will become everyday tomorrow. The fight with Nikita for the most popular leads and the male name of Vladislav. Darya leads the weak sex. Company champions are Artem and Anastasia, Ivan and Sofia, Ilya and Maria, Daniil and Anna, Alexander and Xenia.
It is not uncommon for foreign names. And they are popular both among those who have taken citizenship from natives of other countries, and among indigenous Russians. Along with the only mysterious in the country, Inji Elif, not the first time registered Nicole, Simon, Esenia, Dominica and Adele.
IVAN, MOTHERFUL NON-MEMBERSHIP ...
Foreign names. Michael or Arnold, along with the patronymic Ivanovich create not the most harmonious pair. The "import" name, however, is quite acceptable when a baby is born from mixed marriages.
Very often parents forget what a wealth of choice is possible in Russia. The territorial position of our homeland gave parents an amazing variety of "traditional" names. So, in one class, a boy with the name of Ancient Greek origin - Andrew, and a girl with the Roman Catholic name of Yadvig, peacefully coexist. It so happened that due to the peaceful coexistence of Orthodoxy and Catholicism, both names systems took root in the country. For example, Dmitry, Irina, Tatiana, Galina, Veronica - have ancient Greek roots. And Edward, Albina, Jadwiga, Wanda or Adolf are Roman Catholic. So, a little wit when choosing a name for a future child - and respect the homeland, and show originality!
CHOICE IS MADE
Call without hesitation, if:
1. The choice involved both mom and dad. The father's word is often taken into account by the future mother. And in vain! After all, it is the result of joint "labor" that will become a delight for the ear for the future pope. And yet - the efforts of the pope and mother. Not to be confused with my grandparents, your parents have already made their choice in their time!
2. You first saw the baby and immediately realized that he was Sasha. Not Vladimir, as it was decided at the family council six months ago, but Sasha, Alexander, Sashenka. The mother from the first day of life crumbs can determine his character and make the right choice. And neither dictionaries, nor encyclopedias, nor advice of acquaintances any more to what.
3. The name was chosen according to the saints. And do not be afraid of a narrow framework.
In fact, the future child can be given a name in honor of the saint, whose memory coincides (or a few days in advance or backward) with his birthday or the day of baptism. And you can and the name of a particular saint, who is honored in your family. There is a considerable interval between birthday and name day.
4. The choice of a name was approached with all responsibility. You were not too lazy to look into the interpreter of names. And now you know exactly what this or that name means. The benefit of today's publications is great! It will not be superfluous to consult the employees of the registry office about what name is the most common at the moment. Someday a son or daughter will say thank you! Teachers, by the way, too. Recollect, how your school teacher "was sharpened" in allocation by distinctive signs of five Олечек or four Танечек, pupils in one class.
5. The name allows you to reflect the whole gamut of emotions caused by your beloved child. So, depending on the flooded feelings, Helen can be called Lenochka, and Lenka, and Alenushka, and even Lelka. The possibility of forming caress forms when choosing a name should not be given the last place.
Think again, if:
1. A granddaughter or grandson decided to name in honor of one of your parents. It's laudable, but ... The name is not a simple set of letters. It will carry in itself and the memory of the person, in honor of which you decided to name the child. And, most likely, it will happen that you subconsciously will try on the character, actions and abilities of this person on your crumbs. And it's good if the whole set is positive in itself. And if you simply succumbed to the threats of your mother-in-law, which threatens to deprive you of help if you make an "incorrect" decision? Think it's a firm position, or did you just surrender to the mercy of the winner, unable to withstand the ardor of family battles?
2. To get used to the name crumbs, you needed some training. A difficultly pronounced name will become a hindrance to social adaptation and communication. Dale Carnegie spoke of the name as follows: "The name of a man is the sweetest and most important sound for him in any language." But if his pronunciation will cause problems, then to hear this sweet word to the kid will not happen often. Especially in childhood, because even the word "fish" for a five-year-old crumb is about the same as "liberalization" for you.
3. In the quest for originality, you did not remember the patronymic and the surname of the crumbs.
4. When choosing a name for a child, you were guided by fashion, ideology or simply decided to pay tribute to your favorite actor (singer, politician). The political system can change, the actor is disappointed, and just as her majesty fashion is fleeting, there is no need to explain. In addition, the name is not a brand, not a logo and an unmarket brand!
5. You forgot that the ruddy, fluffy boy today is the man and the head of the family tomorrow. The patronymic formed from his name should please your future grandchildren.
WHO WILL WIN THE OLDER ...
A big secret for a small company may be the second name of a crumb. In Russia there was an ancient custom to give the child, except for the main, also a secret name. It was believed that this way you can save the crumb from the evil eye or deceive evil spirits. So, if they spoiled the "official" name, the "secret" one will save the child. And before the christening, our ancestors believed, and there is no need to reveal the name to strangers.
THERE IS A REASON!
Anniversary of the wedding of parents, birthdays of family members. New Year, March 8 .... Today, a series of banal holidays can be diluted. Rite of naming will give a start in life for another celebration in your family life. The very procedure for choosing a name represents a sort of secular baptism. First, parents will be told what the name given to the crash is. Then they will give the first document proving the identity of the child. And all this in a solemn atmosphere, with the presence of a family in full force.
By the way, the rite of naming is not much, not a little, but one of the points of the state program on the formation of family values and raising the status of the family in society. So if your own wedding has long ago "sung and danced", then there is a place for a holiday in the registry office for your family too!
LAST DOUBTS
And now the crumb already peacefully snuffles in the crib or is still not peacefully pushing you into a huge belly. Someone makes their choice, barely learning about the "interesting situation", and someone and two months after the birth of crumbs can not be determined. So, at the twentieth week it seems that only Galina can so gently touch - meek, calm. But by the thirty-second you feel yourself a participant in fights without rules and you think: "To be Ekaterina, in honor of the head of the department!" By the thirty-eighth, the image of the blue-eyed angel brings thoughts to Svetlana. But at the birth of brown-eyed curly brunette, these thoughts evaporate. Here also it is necessary to name while a daughter that "my babe", that "sun", and even at all "my punishment".
However, in any case, the beauty of their own name will not interest the baby for a long time. But you must be responsible and firm in your preferences. The name should not be an accident!
