Modern beautiful male names. Will the name of a newborn boy determine his fate? The most beautiful female names on the list are just name variations. What names are there. No more

All names are divided into five conditional groups: the most popular (1st-30th place), popular (31-60th place), less popular (61-85th place), rare and very rare names. This classification is practically convenient and intuitive. Quantitative data are reduced to a single denominator - per 10,000 newborns. In order to better “feel” the numbers, let us point out that approximately 70,000 boys , and in the entire Voronezh region, almost 1 of them are born in a year 3 000.

Very rare names.

In the old days they were quite widespread in Russia, but today they are practically out of use, and only a few cases of their registration for several years are noted in the registry offices (the frequency of such names is less than 1 per 10,000 newborn boys). And the names are not the worst!

Here is a short list of them: Abakum, Abrosim, August, Avdey, Averyan, Agathon, Alfer, Andron, Antip, Artamon, Asey, Vissarion, Galaktion, Hermogenes, Gury, Guryan, Evdokim, Evstigney, Evtey, Epifan, Yermil, Erofei, Zinovmail, Izosim, Larion, Hippolyte, Irakli, Isai, Kasyan, Kirsan, Claudius, Kondrat, Kupriyan, Larion, Markel, Martyan, Minai, Miney, Mitrofan, Modest, Nikandr, Nikodim, Nil, Osip, Paramon, Pakhom, Pimen, Prokofy, Savvaty, Savel, Severin, Severian, Strength, Silantius, Sylvester, Simon, Sofron, Sofron, Spiridon, Terenty, Titus, Tryphon, Ulyan, Fedosey, Fedot, Theoktist, Theophanes, Fetis, Filaret, Firs, Thomas, Frol, Christopher, Emmanuel, Julius.

The appearance of a child in a family is always an extraordinary event. For the overwhelming majority of insanely joyful moms and dads, this is the quintessence of family life, continuation of the family, the highest moment of happiness. Moreover, if a boy was born - such centuries-old traditions are accepted in our society. The obvious question that sooner or later will arise before parents is how to name a wonderful baby? Annual statistics will help you answer it, the data that was taken to compile a rating of the 20 most popular male names for a child in 2019.

Therefore, the advice is this - it is enough to find the data of the registry office by cities or constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the whole country, and then make a choice based on the general picture in the region of your residence.

This is a relatively good way to appropriately name your little one, like a "cheat sheet" for those who are not looking for something complicated or ancient, but want to follow trends, pick up something "fashionable" that is in demand in society.

Moreover, the most prudent citizens think about this long before the birth of children. Someone consults with older relatives, based on family traditions. Those who respect the faith use religious calendars. The majority, however, do not pay attention to the "rules" for choosing names at all, but are guided solely by personal sympathies.

Main current trends

First of all, when analyzing the most popular names over the past decade, a thirst for traditions catches the eye: Alexandra, Maxima, Artyom, Danila, Ivana, Dmitriy take the lead among newborns from year to year.

The same picture is observed among girls - statistics assert that over the last quarter of a century, starting from the time of the collapse of the USSR (1991), Anastasiy was born most of all in our country. They are significantly inferior, but also in the lead: Polina, Victoria, Daria, Sofia.

The second feature is the renaissance of old (Greek, Slavic, Jewish) names. This list includes: Bogdan, Makar, Stepan, Savva, Demid, Eremey, Elisey and Rodion.

Internationality

Globalism, conquering all over the world, dictates its own laws. Communication via the Internet via social networks requires simplicity and versatility. The easiest way in these conditions will be for children whose names are the same as their peers abroad. So, for example - Michael is easily replaced by Michael, Alexander becomes Alex, and George becomes George.

Versatility

The crazy speed of modern life leaves no time for the auditory enjoyment of such wonderful "music" as - Maximilian, Benjamin or Constantine. The future is obvious for Max, Ben, Kostya.

You will probably find it strange that some parents are indifferent to the gender of their future child. There are even those who, on the contrary, fundamentally do not want to know about it until birth.

Universal options will come to the aid of these originals - Valery (Valeria), Eugene (Eugenia), Renat (Renata), Camille (Camilla), etc.

Fantasy

In an effort to make their child unique, to call him catchy, defiant or generally unique, some of our fellow citizens often go too far.

Of course, such wonderful combinations as Dmitry-Amethyst, Sophia-Bettina, Arkhip-Ural are not fatal - their appearance can be attributed to the exaltation of the parents.

The desire to christen his offspring Lucifer, the abbreviation BOCh rVF 260602 or Nicholas II causes massive bewilderment, fortunately even reaching the State Duma deputies. In April 2019, Russian lawmakers adopted an act prohibiting henceforth calling children titles, swear words, as well as numbers, alphanumeric combinations.

TOP 20 male names fashionable in 2019

Now - directly to the rating. Its main feature lies in the Slavic, Greek, Jewish origin of the names. This is not surprising, because according to statistics as of January 1, 2017, more than 81% of the population of Russia are Russians. It is quite obvious that for a number of regions of the Russian Federation this list will be somewhat different. In the Caucasus, the Volga region, some of the Ural, Siberian regions, Turkic, Caucasian, Persian, and Arabian are also in use. In general, the statistics for individual regions have almost no effect on the overall picture.

The list of popular male names in 2019 is compiled in ascending order of "fashion" in Russia from twentieth to first place.

Once it was just a common abbreviation for the full ecclesiastical Dionysius, which meant "belonging to Dionysus", the god of Olympus, who was responsible for winemaking, natural fertility, and inspiration.

Greetings, dear readers! There is an opinion: what you call a child, this will be his life. Today there is a tradition to give children rare foreign or old Russian names. Kindergartens and schools are filled with Seraphim, Ostap, Vladislav, etc. By the way, children are generally calm about such "inventions" of the parents of their comrades, because it is no longer "uncommon" to meet a rare name in a children's company. I suggest you consider the names for boys, rare and beautiful, that will help you correctly name your heir.

Name selection rules

  • Before choosing a name for a boy, pay attention to its meaning. It happens that the option seems acceptable, sonorous, but its meaning prepares the child not the best fate or it is completely incomprehensible what it hints at. For example, Kondrat means "square". Do you want to call your baby that?
  • Another criterion is to be consonant with the patronymic. Imagine that your little one grows up and takes a leadership position. What will his subordinates call him? The initials should be pronounced easily, without tension. If the middle name is long and difficult to pronounce, choose a short, melodic name, for example, Ilya Igorevich. But Konstantin Igorevich will not sound very pleasant, and it is quite difficult to pronounce.
  • Make sure that the children do not laugh at the baby when he goes to kindergarten or school. True, today there are many children with unusual names, and it is difficult for adults to imagine how the word can be changed. And yet, be prepared to give your baby the most "harmless" possible.

If the parents are believers, they can give the boy a name according to the Orthodox calendar. Every day it is dedicated to certain saints, whose names are given to newborns.
