Popular foreign names for boys: English and American


In English-speaking countries, the tradition of naming children by two names is popular: personal and middle. The first is the distinctive name of the baby and is used in everyday life. The second is most often given in honor of a close relative, and in official documents it is indicated between the main name and surname.

If in the post-Soviet environment naming is of Greek, Latin, Old Russian origin, then authentic names are predominantly popular in English culture:

  • today in the UK boys are often referred to as Pauls, Davids, Georges, Jacobs, Alans, Marks;
  • in the United States, sons are named Richard, William, Noah, Robert, Aaron.

How to choose a beautiful Muslim name?

In Muslim culture, the method of naming children in accordance with ancient documents is especially popular. The wrong choice of a name for a boy can cause him bad luck, poverty, illness, laziness in the future, which pushes his parents to name him in honor of the saints: Muhammad, Abdul, Idris, Kadir, Rahim, etc.

Muslim culture is characterized by the same meaning for several different-sounding names. For example, Hasan and Elmir mean beauty, while Zabir, Kavi and Ali characterize a strong and powerful person. It is noteworthy that there are no negative names, which explains the desire of parents to provide their children with a better fate.


Muslim traditions are replete with names denoting beauty. You can call the boy Anwar (bright, bright), Jamil (handsome), Dilyair (soulful), Ihsan (merciful), Ramil (magical), Fazil (talented). If parents cannot resolve the issue of naming their son on their own, they can turn to the imam.

Before the revolution, it was common for Muslims to use two names on the territory of the Russian Empire. The child received the first naming as a talisman. To protect the son from the evil eye, this name was hidden from strangers. The second was of less importance and was used in everyday life. In Soviet times, this tradition died out, but today there is a return to it.

Unusual and rare names

Calling sons unusual names, parents tend to endow them with a bright personality. Such children may deviate from public opinion, and sometimes go against it. Wishing to achieve any success despite the influence of external factors, they can only rely on their perseverance and fortitude.

Parents sometimes make the mistake of calling their son a rare name in order to endow him with the qualities of a fighter. If for one part of the boys it becomes an impetus for the formation of a bright personality, with the help of which they achieve success under any circumstances, then for the other it becomes a cause of constant psychological discomfort.


For thoughtful, calm children, a non-standard name is an annoying factor that attracts unnecessary attention. Naming the baby Oscar, Azat, Mikel or Radislav, the parents endow him not with the power to defend his beliefs, but with a source of internal conflict. He is expected to constantly prove his own worth, while he needs solitude for the development of his personality.

A rare name should be combined with the child's surname and patronymic. Combinations such as Petrova Madonna Alekseevna or Kozlov Marcel Ivanovich sound disharmonious.

Naming the baby, they take into account the national and cultural characteristics of the mentality prevailing in society. For example, names such as Arkhip, Bronislav, Borislav, Lavrenty go well with surnames of Slavic origin.

Choosing a name depending on the time of year

When choosing a name, parents are traditionally guided by the month of their son's birth. There is an opinion about the relationship between the seasons and certain character traits of the baby.

It is believed that children born in winter are stubborn and domineering. To mitigate these features, sons are called names containing soft sounds:

  • Alexei;
  • Leonid;
  • Nikita;
  • Paul;
  • Basil.


Babies born in the spring are distinguished by a romantic and sublime temperament. It is recommended to call them by traditional male names to balance the subtle nature, give them courage and strength:

  • Konstantin;
  • Stepan;
  • Bogdan;
  • Egor;
  • Sergey.

Children born in summer have a bold and kind-hearted character. To enhance these qualities, it is recommended to choose sonorous names:

  • Elizar;
  • Philip;
  • Denis;
  • Yuri;
  • Vitaly.


"Autumn" children are often distinguished by distrust and some egocentrism. To give the baby sociability and friendliness, choose simple sonorous names:

  • Anton;
  • Nazar;
  • Yakov;
  • Nahum;
  • Tikhon;
  • Semyon.
