“As you name the boat, so it will float” - this is not said in vain, because the name affects the fate of the child. It is not for nothing that when taking the tonsure as a nun, women change their name in order to leave all sins in the past and start life from scratch. Sometimes girls in the world do this too. Parents should know dissonant female names so as not to call their daughter that.
Instructions
Step 1
Girls shouldn't be given names with masculine sounds. It is possible that Valeria will be teased by Valera or Valerik. It won't be surprising if she turns into a girl with masculine grasp. The same applies to the names of Vitaly, Anatoly, Bogdan, Paul or Cyrus.
Step 2
In addition, in order to identify all undesirable names for a girl, you should pay attention to their consonance with the surname and patronymic. It is unlikely that Aphrodite Nikitichna Ogryzko, having become a girl, will feel comfortable in society. Exotic names are only allowed in combination with a similar patronymic and surname. Here Penelope Diegovna Velazquez will sound more appropriate.
Step 3
As for foreign names, Orthodox people, in whose lives religion plays an important role, should dwell on the names that are in the calendar. Firstly, being brought up in an Orthodox family, Venus or Lucita will feel their duality, because the girl will not be christened with such a name. Most likely, at the font, the priest will call her Vera or Lyudmila. This situation may affect the fate of the girl, who will actually have two names.
Step 4
For the same reason, you should not give a newborn girl a double name. Some parents, wanting to be original, take one simple Slavic name, and the second an intricate foreign name. For example, Zlata-Daniela, Praskovya-Beatrice, Evdokia-Josephine. Such a combination, especially if you add to it the patronymic assigned to the Slavs, will create many problems for the child. All the same, in everyday, informal life, a girl will use only one name, if she does not remove the second from her passport at all.
Step 5
Simplicity is the opposite of exclusivity. Sometimes parents, on the contrary, want to give their child the simplest Russian name. Here, too, it is worthwhile to act deliberately. It is unlikely that grown-up girls will be pleased with the dissonant female names Thekla, Claudia, Matryona, Pelageya, Pulcheria, Olympias or Eupraxia. More modern Xenia, Marina, Polina, Olga, Ekaterina will be more appropriate.
Step 6
Parents who want their daughter to be happy do not need to follow the example of the revolutionaries and call her fictitious names tied to any historical event. It is hard to imagine that the Lviv girl, named Euromaidana, having matured, will thank her parents for this. The names Viagra, Medmiya (apparently in honor of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev), Russia, Iskra, Revmira (world revolution) and Vaterpezhekosm (Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman cosmonaut) also sound unpleasant. Although many of them have already gone out of use, the imagination of patriotic parents does not stand still, creating more and more unthinkable names.
