Many parents are puzzled by the choice of a beautiful and unusual name for the boy. After all, everyone wants their child to be the smartest and happiest, while standing out from those around him. This can be done by giving the child an unusual name. In addition, many are convinced that the name has a certain 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 that they will have a son, begin to sort out the names for the boys. Making a choice is often quite difficult. As a rule, the criteria are rarity, beauty and masculinity, which this name should possess.
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 bears a beautiful, but rare and unusual name. Therefore, often instead of Milan or Rudolph, they choose 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 begin to choose 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 completely dissonant combinations.
In addition, this name should have a beautiful and pleasant to your hearing diminutive and affectionate analogue, 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 middle name 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 middle name, calling a child a rare name, usually it is foreign and has not yet adapted to the Russian language. Therefore, protect yourself from your granddaughter with the homeland of Markusovna, Manuelevna or the like. The girl of your original fantasy will not be delighted.
Nicknames and nicknames
Do not forget about such a factor as nicknames from peers and classmates. Children are often evil, giving offensive nicknames in kindergarten or school that they often produce on behalf of their victim. Of course, if the children set out to somehow call their classmate, they will definitely do it, find what to complain about, what to focus on. But you should not give them another reason to overly pretentious and unusual name, which by itself will beg for the original nickname. Try to predict this moment, suggesting how peers may call your son.
For example, there is a beautiful and rather rare name Matvey, but it often forms an offensive nickname Motya in childhood, which your child will definitely not be happy about.
When choosing rare names for boys, pay attention to the name that he will wear. Children are often embarrassed if their name cannot clearly identify the sex in a short form, for example, Valya, Sasha or Zhenya. But they are especially upset if, in addition, there is also a non-declining surname. For example, Nechepurenko or Suprunenko. This can lead to unpleasant insulting and funny situations in life, to which boys react especially sharply in adolescence. As a result, some even change their last name or take the wife's last name.

The influence of a name on fate
Many perceive a direct connection between the meaning of the name and fate for the boy. Therefore, such parents pay special attention to the choice of name. It is believed that it can affect not only fate, but also the nature of your child.
Often a child is named after a relative (father or grandfather) so that he becomes a continuer of their affairs and undertakings. Especially in the old days such a ritual was of great semantic meaning and energy load. Allegedly, the baby received a kind of information message along with the name, determining what it will be in the future.
It is worth noting that this tradition has its pros and cons. Of course, it’s good that the child is energetically protected from the troubles of the outside world through his kin, so he will grow up bold and internally free, he will form a model of a strong family from childhood, 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 reinforcing him. In addition, the influence of the name of the relative imposes predefined high requirements that will be imposed on the child from the first years of his life.
Random selection
Often in families, the name of the baby is determined randomly, on the basis of "like or dislike."
In this case, of great importance for development is not only how correct this random choice turned out to be, but also which of the parents or other relatives insisted on this option. It is this person who, as a result, will 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 a saint, on the day of whose memory he was born or was baptized. All this is also aimed at ensuring that the child has a better share, and this saint becomes his personal protector and guardian from all life's hardships.
The boy’s name and fate can largely depend on which saint will protect him. Indeed, according to the Orthodox, it is the patron saint who takes care of the fate of the baby, the development of his talents and abilities.
If you decide to strictly follow this Orthodox tradition, be sure to buy your child an icon depicting 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 selected in advance, focusing on the term of the baby's birth. Memorial Day should be closest to the calendar on your baby’s birthday. But if among these names there is not one suitable, you can focus on the day of baptism. In this case, you need to make sure that the day of remembrance of the saint, whose name suits you, coincides with the day of the baptism of your son.
