When choosing a name for their baby, many rarely think about how it will be combined with a middle name. This is not true, because in the future, when the child grows up, the difficult combination of letters and disharmonious discordant pronunciation of the combination of his name and patronymic will greatly interfere. Therefore, when choosing a name, think not only about how much you like it or your relatives, but also about what impact the middle name will have and how it, together with the name, will affect the character of the person.
So, there are several rules for determining a name by patronymic.
Instructions
Step 1
If the middle name is too long, then it is more correct to choose a short name for it. Complete, of course, not colloquial. Conversely, for a short patronymic, choose a long name. For example: Alla Alexandrovna or Margarita Petrovna.
Step 2
The sound combination in the name and patronymic should be harmonious. If the name ends with a consonant, then the patronymic must begin with a vowel sound and vice versa. Compare: Pyotr Andreevich and Pyotr Petrovich. In the first case, the combination of sounds is more harmonious. However, this rule does not apply to female names, because most of them end in a vowel.
Step 3
It is also undesirable that there are many consonants at the junction of the name and patronymic. This makes pronunciation difficult. For example: Pyotr Lvovich. Also, the name-patronymic should not have a consonant repeated many times. As an example: Alexander Grigorievich.
Step 4
If the middle name refers to hard ones, for example, Dmitrievich, then it is better to choose a soft name (Alla Dmitrievna). If to soft, then, on the contrary, a hard name (Dmitry Viktorovich). It is believed that this way you can correct the character of a person, introducing a balance between the name and patronymic.
Using these tips, you can choose the right name for your child, based on his middle name.
