Foreign names… Perhaps, in the 21st century, it is already difficult to surprise anyone with them. Why? Yes, in my own words, due to the fact that today people of different nationalities, cultures and religions live side by side in the so-called global village. The world is changing, mixing and transforming. What a few years ago cut the ear, today is considered almost the norm.

Section 1. The relevance of the concept of "foreign names" in modern society

Of course, every parent wants their baby to stand out from the crowd of the same restless, mischievous and naughty. Most likely, this is precisely what becomes the reason for choosing some rather original name for your child. In this case, as a rule, it begins to seem that beautiful foreign names are the key to uniqueness, extravagance and success in the future.

However, experts advise to approach this decision carefully and thoroughly. Why? Foreign names are, of course, great and very original, but nevertheless, one should not forget that sooner or later a girl orthe boy will grow up, which means that they, like all adults, will be addressed by name and patronymic.

Analyze how the appeal to the future accomplished personality will sound. Agree, Agnis Petrovna sounds ridiculous, and Farid Ivanovich, most likely, will become the subject of ridicule, both from the side of employees and from the side of management.

By the way, beautiful male names (foreign in origin) should also be transformed into a harmonious middle name for your grandchildren. Well, you yourself understand that Arnoldovich or Heraklionovna, of course, will attract attention, but rather, such people will be pitied than they will admire the imagination of their ancestors.

That is why, according to experts, foreign names for girls are more familiar. You definitely won’t have to form a patronymic from them!

Section 2. Romantic Amelia or Amelie

A girl with such an unusual name has been considered a responsible and disciplined student since childhood, she does an excellent job with homework, attends clubs and takes part in the public life of both her class and school, and even the district as a whole.

Due to unusual kindness and responsiveness, such a person will always have a lot of friends and acquaintances. Whoever comes to visit to share the news, someone will definitely ask about the amazing cake recipe (Amelie literally loves various kinds of desserts, pastries, and the cooking process in general), well, someone may need support or valuable advice.

Amelia is alien to betrayal and jealousy, so such a woman, as a rule, marries late and only for someone who will be trusted unconditionally, and even without a shadow of a doubt.

Section 3. No, not Inna, but Inessa

This name has Spanish roots, and when translated into Russian, it can be interpreted as “pure” or “immaculate”. Let's check if this is really the case.

Experts say that in most cases, Inessa from a very young age becomes the soul of the company, and, oddly enough, male. But female friends of such a representative of the beautiful half of humanity can literally be counted on the fingers. It is possible that a far from simple character leaves its mark. From adolescence, Inessa, as they say, change before our eyes, they become more capricious, selfish and domineering.

Section 4. Gentle and Sublime Constance

It's simply impossible to talk about foreign names without mentioning Constance. Do you remember how many such girls appeared after the release of the famous film "The Three Musketeers", and with what face Mikhail Boyarsky, aka D'Artagnan, mourned his beloved?

The girl named by this name has a strong character and a lust for life from birth. She is interested in literally everything that happens around her: from sports to fashion, from classical music to modern art and literature.

Her excessive emotionality and anxiety can cause problems duringadulthood. She rarely finds an excuse for even the slightest betrayal, and she will never forgive betrayal.

Constance herself has a certain gift of foresight, and therefore it is not surprising that a woman will be actively interested in palmistry, divination and astrology.

Section 5. Charming Aaron

Beautiful female names (foreign in origin) often attract increased attention, but what about male ones? Experts believe that it is not enough for such young people to have an original name. To gain popularity, openness, charisma, ease of communication and a fair sense of humor will also come in handy.

And Aaron is another confirmation of this fact. The boy from childhood has a huge, one might even say excessive, mobility. He has a lot of friends, and especially girlfriends, both among peers and among older guys. The younger ones consider it an honor to achieve his location in school, in the yard or in any sports section.

Parents have a hard time with him, but you can always rely on the boy in difficult times: he will not hesitate to help around the house, share the latest with a friend and is ready to come to the rescue at any second, you just have to hint.

Section 6. A name worthy of geniuses and kings

The name Ludwig has Germanic roots and, translated into our native Russian language, can mean "glorified in battle or battle."

Such a value could not butleave an imprint on the character of the owner himself. The kid has a strong character and in general in most cases grows up as a fearless boy. Petting a huge dog at the age of five? No problem! Ride a horse at a gallop at seven? What doubts can there be?

Ludwigs rarely achieve high results in sports, but they enjoy attending sports sections, for example, football. They are fond of boxing and martial arts.

But to prove something to such a person would be very problematic. The guy will firmly stand his ground, argue with classmates, friends, parents, and at least with the whole wide world, but he is unlikely to change his point of view.
