In a pleasant series of troubles while waiting for a child, the choice of a name stands apart. For some parents, this is a quickly resolved issue: a newborn baby is named after someone or simply the most beloved name of one of the family members.

Other future mothers and fathers are more scrupulous about the choice, studying male and female names, their meaning, compatibility with patronymics and surnames, the time of birth of the child, or being guided by church canons.

They also recall here the advice: do not name the baby in honor of deceased relatives (it is clear why), and a warning against naming the child in honor of living family members (supposedly this will deprive the child of individuality).

No less important is the beauty of the name itself, especially if the parents are faced with the question of how to name the girl.

How to choose the best and most suitable of the female names for your daughter? Stop at a fashionable and original version or call the child a traditional, familiar name?

Choose a beautiful Russian name or look into the list of foreign ones? Or maybe even give the baby an experimental, unique name?

Choosing a name for a child-girl by patronymic

The compatibility of the first name with the patronymic is important for several reasons:

1. Sound harmony, including the even distribution of vowels and consonants, makes the pronunciation of the first name and patronymic convenient, and listening pleasant.
2. The correct combination of the name and patronymic, taking into account the nationality of the child and his father, as well as emphasizing their common style (for example, "Rosa" and "Fedor" have a different style coloring, so their combination looks ridiculous) will not give rise to your daughter's classmates and colleagues in the future joke about it behind her back. Agree, for a girl it is very important!
3. According to the popular theory that each name carries a certain meaning and affects the character and fate, its successful combination with a patronymic (and in fact two names) will positively affect a person’s life.

In order for the name of your baby to be beautifully and harmoniously combined with the patronymic, adhere to the following recommendations when choosing it:

• it is desirable that the last sound (syllable) of the name is not identical to the first sound (syllable) of the patronymic;
• short names look good with a long middle name, and vice versa;
• you should not choose unusual or colorful national names for girls, if the patronymic is familiar Slavic: “Angelika Ivanovna”, “Nargiz Olegovna” - doesn’t it sound comical?

If meaning is important to you when naming, then when choosing a name for your daughter, give preference to an option with a meaning that harmoniously complements the meaning of the father's name.

So, for the patronymic "Sergeevna", which endows the baby with calmness, diligence and love for art, the beautiful name "Elena" is well suited, which promises the girl a sense of beauty and success in her career.

We select a female name by date and month of birth

The choice of the name of the girl, depending on the time of her birth, can be approached from several sides.

We make a choice by date in accordance with the sign of the zodiac

Lovers of horoscopes know that each representative of the zodiac has its own temperament, its own role in society. It is believed that the child must be named according to the meaning and characteristics of his sign.

For girls born during the "reign" of one or another zodiac sign, experts in the field of astrology have already compiled a list of suitable and undesirable female names.

So, for a girl born under the sign of Capricorn, the female name Maria is well suited, along with the options Sophia, Arina, Daria. Pick a beautiful name for Little Fish from the following list: Julia, Anna, Olga, Varvara, Polina.

Call Libra luxurious unusual options: Rostislav, Kaleria, Isabella. For girls born under the sign of Scorpio, it is recommended to name: Victoria, Maria, Love. Taisiya.

There are also many beautiful options for Sagittarius: Vladislav, Inessa, Vasilisa, Maya. Aquarius girls: Alina, Natalya, Snezhana. Call your Aries daughter Svetlana, Anastasia or, for example, Kira.

Veronica, Marina, Olga, Oksana are considered good names for Taurus. Gemini: Alice, Evgenia, Xenia, Christina. For Cancers, it is recommended to choose short, but at the same time very beautiful variations: Yana, Leah, Lada.

Name the little Lionesses beautifully and majestically: Alexandra, Eleanor, Nadezhda, Regina, Diana. Well, for Virgos, of course, feminine options are suitable: Elizabeth, Irina, Tatyana, Anita.

We name the girl by the month of birth

It is noticed that people born at the same time of the year have similar character traits. Thanks to this, the idea arose to select names according to the month of birth. In accordance with the temperament that he gives to a person, a name is chosen for the baby.

1. The winter months endow babies with a far from mild temperament, so it’s better to call a girl a feminine option: Uliana, Valentina, Svetlana - this will make the child’s character less “cold”.
2. Girls born in the spring are true ladies: gentle, light. But what they lack is firmness in making decisions and defending their opinions, so the names of “freckles” should be given strong ones: Anastasia, Larisa, Marina.

1. Children who were born in the summer months can show absolutely any character traits, so you can safely name your daughter as you like.
2. In autumn, girls are born practical and not prone to dreams. Beautiful names with a touch of romance are well suited to such babies, which will soften their mundane character - Elizabeth, Zlata, Sophia.

Numerology - the mysterious science of numbers - is gaining more and more admirers. Its adherents are sure that almost our entire life is encrypted in numbers from 1 to 9. And since a person's life actually begins with the date of birth and naming, numerologists could not ignore these important milestones.

The numerological code of the date of birth is calculated by adding all its digits until a single digit is obtained. This number is considered sacred in human life. It is good if, in accordance with it, a name for the child is also chosen.

If you already have names for girls in mind, you can calculate the numerological code of each according to the following numerological table, where each letter has its own number (in columns).

The ideal option is the coincidence of the numbers of the name and date of birth - this predicts the baby's harmonious development and a successful life path.

For example, let's calculate the numerological code of the date of birth 04/15/2016:

1 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 6 = 19,

Among the female names corresponding to this number, one can name the following: Alexandra, Vanessa, Eva, Tamara.

Checking the correspondence between the numbers of the name and date is easy. To do this, it is enough to define the name code.

Let's calculate as an example, using the table above, the code for the name Eve:

E=6; B=3; A=1.

Add up the values ​​of each letter:

Several examples for each digit of the birth code are presented in the following table:

We name the baby according to the church calendar (saints)

It's great if you decide to name the girl according to the church calendar. This is a centuries-old Orthodox tradition: from ancient times it was believed that the saint, after whom the child was named, would patronize him all his life.

Today, choosing a name according to the holy calendar is doubly popular, because old options are in fashion, which can be found in a wide variety in the church calendar.

The church canon is not allowed to choose any name for the girl. You should refer to the names of saints honored on the baby’s birthday, on the eighth day after birth, or on the fortieth day, on which, according to Orthodox tradition, the child is baptized.

If in the women's calendar there was no option that parents liked, you can look into the men's - perhaps there is a derivative variation from a male name that is suitable for the date.

How to choose a beautiful name for a daughter according to the calendar, consider the example of the same date of birth - 04/15/2016. On this day, there are no holy women honored. However, male saints offer the following options: Edesius, Titus, Polycarp, Amphian. Therefore, unusual girlish names can be formed from them: Amphiana, Edesia.

On the eighth day, that is, April 22, there are no female options in the church calendar either, so we look again at the list of male options: Vadim, Disan, Gabriel, Avdies, Mariav. Perhaps you will stop at a name similar to the last proposed name - "Maria".

On the fortieth day after the date of birth (May 24), the saints again provide only male names, but what: Rostislav, Alexander, Sofroniy! These options are great for forming beautiful names for a girl.

A name is not just a word in a person's life. At all times, people have invested in it a special meaning and believed that it will affect the fate of the child. And today no one dares to call a daughter or son a "random" name. His choice is approached responsibly and carefully.

Whatever method of choosing a name you choose: by patronymic or date of birth, by the church calendar or numerological tables - the main thing is to do it with love, and then the baby's life will be truly happy and successful!

Forgotten names. Forgotten and rare female names and their meaning

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites.

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity. So please be careful!

Parents strictly followed them, how truthful they are, it’s not for us to judge, but it’s still worth listening:

1. It was believed that a daughter should not be named after a person who lives with the child. For example, if your mother or grandmother's name is Maria, you should not give the same name to your daughter (granddaughter). Midwives and old-timers said the following about this: "An angel cannot simultaneously patronize both family members with the same name." Today this belief has become obsolete.
2. There was also a concealment of the name of the newborn to protect him from damage (evil eye). Parents were in no hurry to notify everyone about the name of their daughter. Some specifically change their name at baptism so that it is not known to strangers. Modern parents rarely pay attention to this fact, telling in advance about the name of the unborn child.
3. There was a strict ban on using the name of deceased relatives, in particular at a young age. It was believed that an early departure to the other world is a bad sign, fate could repeat itself. They were especially afraid to give the name of relatives who committed suicide (gallows and drowned men). This belief now causes a smile, but before it was feared.
4. Another superstition concerns the change of name, it is given once. Regardless of age, when it changes, a person becomes on the same level as a newborn child. The nominal aura is interrupted, a new imprint is imposed, along with it, fate and character change.

Despite superstition, parents name their daughters in memory of the departed. Church ministers do not give comments on this matter, however, they warn that the name of the deceased should be given.

Avoid the name for a girl that belonged to previously deceased children, so that the baby does not inherit the same fate (death).
