How much good was in the old days: clean air, clean water, organic products. And most people had pure souls. People lived by their labor and knew what love is. In those old days, there were a lot of good things that people have forgotten now.

For example, there were a lot of good names. Names that gave people the qualities of kindness, diligence, wisdom, generosity. These are exactly the qualities that people lack in our time.

Maybe someone will think about it and name their child an old, long forgotten name.

Even 100-200 years ago, the following male names were actively used, were in use, and were well perceived by ear. Now they are forgotten.

Everyone knows that life develops in a spiral. People forget something, then discover the same thing for themselves, but in a new way. Maybe someday it will be like this with long forgotten, old, good names.

There are many forgotten names, but they remain in the cultural space of the country forever, even if they are outdated and out of use. Forgotten names are part of the country's cultural heritage. At any moment, some of the worthy, undeservedly forgotten names may become in demand.

Through an undeservedly forgotten name, a person can connect to the roots of his people. Who knows, maybe in one of the past incarnations a person already bore this name. And if he was again given the same name, then the programs that were developed in that incarnation will help a person realize himself already in this life.

For many centuries, the choice of a name for a boy was approached thoroughly and seriously. After all, the boy must grow up to be a brave, strong and dexterous representative of the stronger sex, who will be able to cope with the role of a hunter or a brave warrior and a brave defender of the family. As a result, the names of the boys were intended to emphasize strength and masculinity.

When thinking about how to name a boy, you need to focus on this option, in which both the adult brutal form and the soft child form are used. Psychologists advise choosing a name for a rude and cruel boy only with a diminutive name - this will make his temper the softest.

In particular, Maxim can be called Masik, Maksik, Masya. Alexei - Lesha, Lesha, Lenechka. If the baby is very timid, gentle and weak, shy, it is much better to choose the most strict name for the boy, in other words, the adult form of the name. In this case, Maxim should be called Max, and Alexei - Lekha or Alexei.

A competent choice of a name for a baby can help bring up any qualities in a boy.

Choosing a name for a newborn baby is a very responsible matter, because the fate of the child depends on this decision of the parents. All the more responsibly, parents should take the choice of a name for the boy.

A male name is something that should be proud of, and that every man should wear with dignity throughout his life. All boys dream of being strong, agile and successful, but they also want their name to be just as strong and beautiful, and to emphasize their masculine strength and beauty to the greatest extent!

Today, when it comes to choosing a name for a boy, there are thousands of different names, and parents now have plenty to choose from. Parents are no longer limited to choosing from traditional names that have been passed down from generation to generation. However, when choosing a name for your child, it is necessary to take into account not only fashion trends, political and religious views as well as the time of year.

It is known that at different times of the year, children with completely different characters are born. Therefore, knowing the natural coloring of the name and date of birth, you can correctly choose the names of boys by month, the meaning of these names can successfully develop the qualities that your child lacked from birth, or, conversely, muffle unwanted ones.

Boys born winter, always very talented, strong-willed, purposeful, thinking, but at the same time, in family life they experience difficulties because of their inconsistency, intransigence, the need to argue over trifles and be sure to win. They do not spare themselves in work, therefore they achieve high results. It is difficult to confuse them, as they are sure of what they are doing. Many have a tough temper, tough, domineering, stubborn, proud. These qualities are most pronounced in those born in December, weaker - in February, "January" children are more balanced. Therefore, we advise you to give winter children "soft" melodious names, so as not to aggravate the character traits laid down by the harsh winter.

spring people are easily vulnerable physically and morally. They are indecisive, touchy, windy, selfish, squeamish. Most often, these people are gifted, but insecurity prevents them from becoming leaders. Each word, deed is weighed, carefully listen to the opinion of the interlocutor. They are more willing to accept the role of followers, although they think correctly. They are stubborn, selfish, cautious, pliable to flattery, not devoid of self-admiration. They have a subtle sense of humor, have a good memory and quickly grasp everything. March men pay great attention their appearance, often look in the mirror. They make good diplomats and orators. Spring babies need to be given "hard" sounding names to counter an unstable nervous system and psyche.

Summer has a beneficial effect on those born at such a time.

"Summer" children are kind, but often cowardly and spineless. They are easily influenced, emotional and impressionable, they love risk, they are proud, courageous and persistent in achieving their goals, they are active.

Great diligence allows you to achieve success in business. Their kindness extends to other people's children, to animals, and their temper does not develop into rancor. They are good at art. "Summer" children should be given "hard" names to protect them from unwanted adversity.

Wise autumn, associated in our minds with maturity, experience, slowness, endowed people born at this time with the corresponding features. "Autumn" people are universal. They are reasonable, serious, comprehensively gifted, value the accumulated experience and never repeat mistakes, do everything slowly and deliberately. There are many pedants among them. They are thrifty, know the value of money, thrifty. Diplomatic and principled, they are diligent and diligent in their work, adhere to a clear line of conduct, are persistent in business, have a clear mind, and an easy character. A clear and balanced character, devotion contributes to strong marriages. Born in autumn, they rarely conflict in the family, they love children and animals. Among them are actors, philosophers, people of exact sciences. "Autumn" children can be given any names, since nothing can affect their natural character.

Therefore, the meaning of the name by month of the year can vary significantly. For example, the "December" Alexei is healthier than the "summer" and "spring". Alyoshka is stubborn and persistent and often gets into conflict situations without wanting to. He is an eternal fighter for justice, but adults sometimes get the impression that the boy is an incorrigible bully and bully. Pride will not allow him to prove that it was not he who was to blame for some kind of brawl, but his classmate, that he only wanted to restore justice. As a result, most of the blame falls on him.

"Summer" Alexey has a less strong will than "winter" or "autumn". He needs the support of friends, the approval of his actions by colleagues. Due to modesty, he is not always able to realize his ideas himself, he turns to friends and like-minded people for help. It is difficult to experience failures, painfully perceives criticism. His diplomacy and tact are very popular with girls. Has a good memory, quickly grasps everything new. Likes adventure literature, fantasy.

Alexei, born in the spring, is capable of deep feelings, but he does not dare to express them. Severely suffers from indecision. The emotional drama experienced for a long time unsettles him. He is amorous, will not delve into the motives of the behavior of his beloved, her benevolence and sensitivity are enough for him. He prefers not to talk about feelings, since he is still not able to express their depth. He does not tolerate violence, pressure, and even the influence of outsiders, but he does not know how to openly protest, he tries to get rid of the presence of such people. He does not aspire to power. He is not one of those who reads morality or imposes, which deserves the respect of colleagues, friends and especially his adored children, his beloved wife.

"Autumn" Alexey is more self-confident. It is not easy to talk to him, he analyzes every phrase, requires arguments, undeniable arguments from his partner, he himself always knows how to prove and defend his ideas. He is specific, concise in conversation, has a sharp and lively mind. Initiative, practical, rational. But at the same time, he is attentive to colleagues, always ready to listen to everyone, discuss the work plan, and takes into account the opinions of others. Tactful, correct and charming man. Winter and autumn give firmness to the character of Alexei. He gravitates toward the exact sciences, is practical and enterprising.

This section of the site "boys names" offers you a list of the most beautiful, popular, and also truly Russian names for boys. Each name for a boy presented on the pages of our site is accompanied by a detailed description of the name, characteristics, as well as the history of the origin of the name.

The Russian language belongs to the group of Slavic languages. However, many Russian names are not originally Russian by their origin. They are borrowed from Greek along with the Christian religion. Before that, Russians had names that reflected the various characteristics and qualities of people, their physical disabilities, names that reflected the birth order of children in the family. There were common names such as Wolf, Cat, Sparrow, Birch, First, Tretyak, Big, Small, Zhdan. The reflection of these names is observed in modern Russian surnames Tretyakov, Nezhdanov, Menshov, etc.

With the introduction of Christianity in Rus', all the old Russian names were gradually supplanted by church names that came to Rus' from Byzantium. Among them, in addition to proper Greek names, were ancient Roman, Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian names, each of which reflected a certain meaning in its native language, but when borrowed it was used only as a proper name, and not as a word denoting something.

By the 18th and 19th centuries Old Russian names were already completely forgotten, and Christian names have largely changed their appearance, adapting to the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation. So, the name Diomede was transformed into the name Demid, Jeremiah - Yeremey, etc.

After the October Socialist Revolution, names associated with the new ideology became widespread: Revmira (peace revolution), Diamara ( dialectical materialism); names reflecting the first stages of industrialization: Electrina, Elevator, Diesel, Ram, (revolution, electrification, mechanization); names read in foreign novels: Alfred, Rudolf, Arnold; names by flower names: Lily, Rose, Astra.

Since the 1930s, such familiar to us Russian names like Masha, Vladimir, Seryozha, i.e. the names closest to the Russian people are used. But this return to the old names does not mean a return to all names. church calendar, most of which remained unaccepted by the Russian nation.

Russian names are among the most beautiful and popular in the world. Choose for a boy suitable name not easy, because each has its own history of origin, the corresponding meaning, the intended fate.

Russian names for a boy are chosen depending on the month of birth, thus introducing a piece of seasonality and weather elements into the name.

Many are mistaken about the origins of Russian names: most of them are of Greek origin. Over the centuries, they were influenced by the Christian religion, after which they received a modern look.

Previously, the names reflected the qualities of people, physical disabilities, the order in which a child appeared in a family. Christianity was the impetus for the displacement of old Russian names and their replacement by church Byzantine, Roman, Syrian, each of which had its own inherent meaning.

By the 19th century, Old Russian names were rare and practically forgotten, and Christian variants were adapted to Russian pronunciation. For example, Diomede became Demid. The October Revolution made a significant contribution to the ideology of the name, there were names reflecting industrialization (Diesel, Rem), as well as heroes of foreign novels (Arnold, Alfred).

Only from the 30s of the 20th century did the usual Vladimir, Ivan, Sergey return.

Clairvoyants believe that the destiny of a person is known from above from his birth. It is difficult to trust what is already thought out for a person life path. Materialists claim that “it’s written that way,” which also speaks silently about hopelessness, but with the note that everyone creates his own destiny.

The starting point is the name given at birth, it cuts into the subconscious like a code and programs for certain actions, manifestations of the corresponding character traits. If the name sounds confident, a person with that name is subconsciously imbued with faith in himself and can achieve heights.

It happens that a person consciously takes the step of changing his name, he is driven by the desire to move in a new direction. Thus, a person tries to change his "code" and succeed by calling himself differently. Some peoples, especially Africans, consciously do not call themselves to anyone, they use names - amulets to repel ill-wishers.

In Rus', similar names were also given, the purpose of which is to repel evil spirits:

• Failure;
• Dislike;
• Ignorant;
• Not good;
• Trouble;
• Try it.

Russian names for a boy should not be chosen from those worn by fathers. Because of this, there is a risk of developing complex relationships in the family. Giving a "hereditary" name, the personality is weakened psychoenergetically. Naming a son after a deceased relative is a possible repetition of his fate. Difficult names in pronunciation are a hindrance to easy communication.

A pregnant woman, in order to make the right choice of a name, is recommended to lie down comfortably and pronounce different options, listening to the baby in the womb. Response hesitation will tell you which version will not disturb peace of mind and help him find himself in life.

Is it necessary to choose a name for a boy under a patronymic

The name for a growing man is chosen based on the correct combination:

1. Middle name lengths: a small name requires an extended patronymic and vice versa. Maintaining a balance creates a respectful and easy-to-pronounce appeal to a person.
2. Nationalities: a name with Russian origins is not combined with a patronymic of foreign origin. For example, the combination "Vasily Heraklionovich" is difficult to hear, has a sharp sound. You should not name the child in honor of foreign famous personalities (Bill Alexandrovich, Justin Egorovich) in order to avoid ridicule in the future from peers.
3. Melodies: a large concentration of consonants at the border of the combination causes irritation (Mark Stanislavovich). The version has a similar effect when the patronymic begins with the letter that ends with the name (Maxim Makarovich).
4. Personalities: According to psychologists, naming a child by the father's name is a mistake, repeated use can affect both negatively and positively on the carrier, adopting the pros and cons. Also, such a situation (Ivan Ivanovich) creates confusion in addressing family members.

The name is a reflection of the personality, enclosed in a combination of letters and sounds, in order to avoid the accumulation of hissing and whistling sounds, it is recommended to initially approach the choice with seriousness, and pronounce the resulting chains from the full name aloud.

How to choose a male name by date of birth of a child, zodiac sign

Russian names for a boy are not easy to choose.

To the decision difficult question, which is based on the day and month of birth, you can go in 2 ways:

1. according to the church calendar.
