It is believed that a person's name plays a big role in his life, carrying a semantic and emotional load. After the birth of a child, many parents give him a name, focusing on anything: fashion, relatives and friends, or something else. At the same time, they do not think about how it will affect his life in the future.
What to avoid
Choosing a name is a serious matter. A child will live with him all his life and should be very responsible for this. You should know and remember about some rules and subtleties that will help parents in this choice.
When choosing a name, there are a number of things to consider.
- Difficulty in writing and pronouncing the surname, first name and patronymic. Think about how your child will be called as an adult. Will the pronunciation cause laughter, "clumsy" and difficulty?
- Give up fashion popularity when children are called by the same name all year. Usually, this leads to the fact that after 7 years in the class the child will have several people with this name. This, to some extent, can complicate the child's life.
- Avoid the teasing name, even if you really like it. A name like that will get your child into trouble.
- Don't choose a name that, for whatever reason, makes you feel bad or has bad memories.
- It is undesirable to be named after grandparents.
- Don't give your child an imposed name on you. It can soon bore you or disappoint you.
- It is better to refuse foreign names, especially if the patronymic does not correspond to him and the dad is not a foreigner (Jennifer Mikhailovna).
It should be remembered
- It is better for the child to choose the name that sounds beautiful together with the surname and patronymic.
- Do not listen to what others advise and impose on you. Decide for yourself so that you don't have to blame someone later.
- Choosing a male name for a girl, think about whether it will turn her into a man with a masculine character?
- It is not always good to call a child (boy) by the father's name. You can find more interesting options. The same can be said for girls who are given the mother's name.
Option to select a name by date and time of year
When a child is born, many parents, without bothering to find a name, immediately turn to numerology. This is a good helper. It is generally accepted that each season of the year leaves its "stamp" on the newborn. For example, it is believed that children born in the fall are smart, persistent, talented, energetic. And therefore, in order to “moderate” excessive activity, they are given names that are calmer, more romantic.
Church names
As for the choice of the name of the child according to the church calendar, everything is so simple here. The child's date of birth is taken and checked against the calendar. He will offer the parents the names that the church celebrated on that day. If for some reason there is no name or the parents do not quite like it, then you can choose the name that was given a day or two before or after the day the child was born.
In any case, choosing a name for a child is a serious and responsible business, and only parents are responsible for it.
