Lately, parents have been trying to come up with creative names for their children. The names borrowed from abroad have already lost their popularity, and they are being replaced by Old Church Slavonic ones.
How to choose a name for a child?
When choosing a name for your baby, be sure to keep in mind that it will be difficult for the baby to pronounce it at first. So that the child does not have any difficulties in kindergarten and school, do not choose a difficult-to-pronounce name for him. Also, you should understand that the name should have several diminutive variants. Pay attention to how the name of the child you choose will be combined with his middle name.
