Choosing a name for an unborn baby is an extremely difficult issue for every parent. Many couples, having different tastes, cannot come to an agreement in any way, others know in advance what they will call the long-awaited baby. However, how acceptable is the chosen name? And the point is not beauty, but the fact that with him the child receives certain character traits and even fate, so the characterization of the name is an important aspect in his choice.
A little about preferences
Psychologists are sure that parents name the child, guided by the subconscious. Intuitively, they understand what character traits a person with a particular name acquires - and they want their baby to also have these qualities. The meaning of the name, character and fate are really connected - the philosopher Florensky generally believed that it creates the path of a person. There are also cases when a person does not at all correspond to the interpretation of the name given to him - in this case, the interlocutor on a subconscious level often wants to call him differently. By the way, patronymic also has an influence on temper. Below weconsider what names you can’t call children, and which ones are the most suitable?
Choose a name
An important role in the choice is played by the characteristics of the name, as well as its sound. There is a huge number of explanatory "dictionaries", which describe in detail the character traits of a person. Please review your chosen name carefully. If you really don’t like his interpretation at all, then the child, no matter how impressed you are with his sound, should not be called them.
Translation and origin
Pay attention to the translation of the name - for example, if you want to name your child Arthur, you have every chance to change your mind, since this name means "bear" in translation. Agree, the association arises unpleasant. Therefore, it is also important to know what it means (usually the meaning and origin of names are indicated in the relevant literature). Previously, in the distant past, there were no problems with this - there were no interpretations of names, because they simply were not needed - children were called "Bison", "Sharp Eyes", etc. In essence, modern names are their derivatives, but it's hard to guess about this, because they sound completely different (although not always - Sveta, Nadezhda, Vera, etc. do not need "translation" at all). So, it is almost impossible to guess that the word Peter means “stone”, and Alexander means “protector”.
How does a name affect fate and character? How does this happen?
The name is often said dozens of times a day - at home, at work, atcelebrations, we hear it and consider it a part of ourselves. The brain at this time perceives sound signals, and they begin to affect psychological he alth, as a result of which the character is gradually formed in accordance with the interpretation of the “name” given to the person. Therefore, the sound of one's own name is calming for some, and annoying for others.
What names should children not be called?
- In the names of the great martyrs, because in this case the child will have to fight all his life for a place under the sun. It is allowed to name children in honor of the saints, depending on the date of their birth - for example, those born on Basil's Day are often called the same way. However, this is of course not essential. It is not recommended to give rare Old Slavic names of martyrs, which, in addition, sound completely inharmonious with the patronymic and surname - it is better to choose one of the more suitable, modern options.
- With the names of dead relatives. If a relative died tragically, went missing, or even died from leading a completely wrong lifestyle, you should not choose this name for the baby, otherwise he may repeat his fate. Or the adult life of this person will be difficult. The strength of the sign is enhanced if the names of relatives are also the same.
- Names of famous people, heroes of books or TV shows. You should not try to impose certain character traits or the fate of a stranger, especially a fictional or known to everyone. Especially if the surnames match - in this case, it is important not what the name means, but what information it carries.
- Names of parents. Notthe boy should be named after the father, and the girl after the mother, since the names may not “get along” in the same house, as a result of which conflicts between parents and the child will begin to arise. In addition, there is a chance (or risk, for anyone) that the child will repeat the fate of the namesake parent, but will go through a more “deepened” life path than the parent.
- Girls should not be given names derived from masculine ones - Alexandra, Evgenia, Valentina, as there will be many masculine traits in their character and behavior. Probably, you yourself have noticed that sometimes girls who have masculine names often behave like men.
- Men are not recommended to give names that sound soft - for example, Nikita, Mikhail. They contribute to the formation of a soft character, somewhat similar to the female, which does not paint a man.
When answering the question “what names should children not be called?”, you should also pay attention to how harmonious the name is and how it is perceived by others. We are not even talking about complex foreign names, but about completely unthinkable nicknames - for example, sometimes there are such “masterpieces” as “O”, “Second / Third”, etc. Such names greatly injure the child’s psyche and do not bring anything good to its carrier, causing ridicule or surprise among others. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose suitable names for the baby.
Choosing "good" names
In fact, there are no “bad” names, however, each carries a certain energy - hard, soft and neutral, in accordance with which the child developssome character traits. Therefore, what the name means is not always the key.
Soft, hard and neutral
Soft names are distinguished by ease of pronunciation and melodiousness, as well as the presence of softened vowels and consonants - Svetlana, Vera, Irina, Mikhail, Alexei, Natalia, Anna, Nina, Alisa, Nikita. Such people usually have a soft, accommodating disposition.
Solid names mostly have the letters "g", "p", "d", "b", as well as combinations of sonorous "m", "n", etc. These include Dmitry, Demid, Dina, Yana, Edward, Nikolai, George, Sergey. The owners of these names, on the contrary, are strong, determined, stubborn and purposeful personalities.
Neutral names are intermediate, something between hard and soft, so their owners can change depending on the situation - despite being stubborn, they can be forced to change their minds with reasonable arguments, as they are reasonable and balanced. Neutral names include Artem, Andrei, Anastasia, Roman, Vitaly. Also consider the patronymic - if it is solid, it is advisable to choose a soft name (for example, Mikhail Demidovich) and vice versa. Such a contrast will balance the character of the child - in this case, the meaning and origin of names and patronymics is not important.
What is the name of the child?
The question "What names should not be called children?" does not have a clear answer, since not a single book states: this is bad, and this is good. There are many nameswhich sound beautiful and familiar, and also have a good characteristic. And it is not necessary to opt for simple ones, such as Peter or Lyudmila - they, for example, can be replaced with Yana, Yaroslav, Miroslava, Alice, Ruslan, etc. Although, of course, only the parents themselves can answer this question - they prefer those names that they like the most, and the characteristics of the name often do not play any role in the choice. Although, before naming a child, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with it.
