Even 100 years ago, choosing a name for a daughter was not something out of the ordinary. Children were named according to the calendar, giving them the names of the saints on whose day of commemoration they were born. Today, many parents, wanting to choose a Russian name for a girl, often come to a dead end. After all, it is necessary to give your daughter not just an original Slavic name, it is necessary so that it does not become the subject of ridicule of others.
Instructions
Step 1
Old female names are undeservedly considered irrelevant and ridiculous. Many of them sound beautiful even to the modern ear: Gloria, Anisia, Zlata. And their meanings just caress the soul: glory, fragrant, golden.
Step 2
And yet, there is no need to show leavened patriotism and give your daughter a too archaic-sounding name: Feodosia, Stepanida, Appolinaria, Metrodora, Domna. Keep in mind that in pursuit of originality, you can create the prerequisites for the girl for complexes.
Step 3
To choose a beautiful Russian name for a girl, it is not necessary to stop the choice on the trite-sounding Katya, Masha or Anya. The main thing is that the name is combined with the surname and patronymic.
Step 4
For example, the native Russian surname Petrov or Sergeev will sound great next to the name Aglaya, Glafira, Melania, Vlasta, Martha. Combinations of foreign and double surnames with elaborate names should be avoided. Bozena Nemeyer or Zvenislava Grumm-Grzhimailo sounds rather strange.
Step 5
It is also worth considering how the name and patronymic will be combined. Combinations with a large number of consonants or vowels at the junction are dissonant. For example, Ariadna Mstislavovna or Yulia Yurievna. It will be difficult for others to pronounce the name and patronymic, so they will sound blurry - Ariadstislavna or Yuliaurna.
Step 6
Often parents, giving their daughters old female names, do not think about how they will sound in a diminutive form. You should not amuse yourself with the hope that others will call the girl Evdokia, Zinovia or Stephanie. With the light hand of classmates, these names can turn into Dusya, Zina and Stesha. Therefore, it is advisable to call the daughter so that the diminutive name sounds beautiful: Virineya - Vira, Virena; Dorothea - Dora, Fairy; Radmila - Glad, Darling; Lyubomira - Lyubushka, Mira. Derivatives from Solomey - Salt or Zarina / Zorin - Zara, Zora also sound good. It is better to immediately come up with an affectionate option for my daughter, before other, strangers do it.
Step 7
In addition, it is recommended to pay attention to one more trifle that may turn out to be important - initials. They are sometimes added, starting with the last name, sometimes - with the first name. So you need to check all the options. It is not hard to guess that Babich Lyudmila Yaroslavovna will be ashamed of her initials. So is Polina Igorevna Sidorova. But Mikhailova Iraida Romanovna or Lilia Evgenievna Smirnova, most likely, will be proud of them.
