Many parents are puzzled by the choice of a beautiful and unusual name for a boy. After all, everyone wants their child to be the smartest and happiest, while standing out among others. This can be done by giving the child an unusual name. In addition, many are sure that the name has some kind of magical feature that can affect the life of the baby in the future.
Choose a name
All mothers, as soon as they find out on an ultrasound scan that they will have a son, begin to sort out names for boys. Making a choice is often difficult. As a rule, the criteria are the rarity, beauty and masculinity that this name should have.
In order to choose a name that everyone in the family will like, first of all, you need to talk with your spouse, together go to the final decision. Men are often more conservative than women, so they do not always agree that their heir should have a beautiful, but rare and unusual name. Therefore, often instead of Milan or Rudolfchoose Alexei or Alexander.
What should be the name
But more often than not, a woman manages to convince her husband if she really likes the name. When you managed to enlist the support of your spouse, you can start choosing a rare name for the boy. It is important to pay attention to ensuring that it is consonant with the surname and patronymic. Agree, Felix Petrov or Ludwig Ivanov are completely dissonant combinations.
In addition, this name should have a beautiful and pleasant diminutive analog for your hearing, which you will definitely use until the baby grows up, and maybe in the future at home.
Also, do not forget that your son will also have children in the future, whose patronymic will depend on his name. So the patronymic of your future grandchildren and granddaughters should be harmonious and organically combined with the surname. There is always a danger of running into a strange patronymic, calling a child a rare name, usually it is foreign and has not yet adapted to the Russian language. Therefore, protect yourself from a granddaughter with a fatherland Markusovna, Manuelievna or the like. Your original fantasy girl will definitely not be happy.
Nicknames and nicknames
Do not forget about such a factor as nicknames from peers and classmates. Children are often angry, giving offensive nicknames in kindergarten or school, which are often made on behalf of their victim. Of course, if the children set out to somehow nickname theirclassmate, they will definitely do it, find something to complain about, what to focus on. But you should not give them an extra reason with an overly pretentious and unusual name, which by itself will beg for the original nickname. Try to anticipate this moment as well, guessing what peers might call your son.
For example, there is a beautiful and rather rare name Matvey, but it often gives rise to the offensive nickname Motya in childhood, which your child will definitely not be happy with.
When choosing rare names for boys, pay attention to the surname that he will wear. Children are often embarrassed if their name cannot unequivocally determine the gender in a short form, for example, Valya, Sasha or Zhenya. And it is especially frustrating for them if, in addition, there is also a non-declining surname. For example, Nechepurenko or Suprunenko. This can lead to unpleasant offensive and funny situations in life, to which boys react especially sharply in adolescence. As a result, some even change their surnames or take their wife's surname.

Often a child is named after some relative (father or grandfather), so that he becomes the successor of their deeds and undertakings. Especially in the old days, such a ritual had great semantic significance and energy load. Allegedly, the baby received a kind of informational message along with the name, determining what he would be like in the future.
It is worth noting that this tradition has its advantagesand cons. Of course, it is good that the child is energetically protected from the troubles of the outside world through his relatives, so he will grow up courageous and internally free, from childhood he will form a model of a strong family, which he will try to bring to life when he arranges his own family.
But at the same time, giving the name of the closest successful relative, all personality traits brought with this name will fall on the character of the child, breaking or strengthening it. In addition, the influence of the name of a relative imposes predetermined high demands that will be placed on the child from the first years of his life.
Random
Often in families, the name of the baby is determined randomly, according to the principle "like it or not".
In this case, not only how correct this random choice turned out to be, but also which of the parents or other relatives insisted on this option is of great importance for development. It is this person who will eventually play a key role in the upbringing and formation of the character of the baby.
Orthodox tradition
According to Christian tradition, a child is named after the saint on whose memory day he was born or baptized. All this is also aimed at ensuring that the child has a better life, and this saint becomes his personal protector and guardian from all life's adversities.
The boy's name and fate may largely depend on which saint will protect him. After all, according to the Orthodox, it is preciselythe heavenly patron takes care of the fate of the baby, the development of his talents and abilities.
If you decide to strictly follow this Orthodox tradition, then be sure to buy your child an icon with the image of his saint and celebrate with him not only his birthday, but also the day of his angel.
Interestingly, in this case, the name can be chosen in advance, focusing on the date of birth of the baby. The saint's memorial day should be closest on the calendar to your baby's birthday. But if among these names there is not a single suitable one, you can focus on the day of baptism. In this case, you need to guess that the day of memory of the saint whose name suits you coincides with the day of your son's baptism.
Advice from a psychologist
Psychologists say: the main thing, no matter how rare and beautiful names for boys, they should not be a burden to them. After all, an unsuccessful and thoughtless choice of parents can lead to a large number of offensive nicknames and ridicule from peers in adolescence.
You shouldn't name your son with a too old, albeit beautiful, name. For example, in honor of some ancient Greek philosopher. In this case, the name itself can turn into an offensive nickname, which in an instant will not be a joy for the child. And, without loving his name, he will not be able to grow up as a full-fledged and self-confident person. It will be difficult for him to adapt to the team and make new acquaintances.
