Current names for boys of the year. Beautiful and unusual names for boys: tips for choosing and rating of fashionable male names

All names are divided into five conditional groups: the most popular (1-30th place), popular (31-60th place), less popular (61-85th place), rare and very rare names. This classification is practically convenient and visual. Quantitative data are brought to a single denominator - per 10,000 newborns. To better “feel” the numbers, let us point out that approximately 65,000 girls are born in Moscow every year, and almost 12,000 of them are born in the entire Voronezh region per year.

Very rare names.

In the old days, they were quite common in Russia, but today they have practically fallen out of use, and in the registry office there are only isolated cases of their registration over several years (the frequency of such names is less than 1 per 10,000 newborn girls).

Here are just a few of them: Avdotya, Agrafena, Anatolia, Antonida, Apollinaria, Athanasius, Vassa, Virinea, Glyceria, Dorothea, Eudoxia, Eupraxia, Efimia, Zinovia, Iraida, Isidora, Lucia, Malania, Muse, Olympias, Salome, Sebastian, Thekla, Fedosya, Theodora, Theoktista, Feofaniya, Kharitina.

The birth of a child in a family is always an extraordinary event. For the vast majority of incredibly joyful mothers and fathers, 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 parents will face sooner or later is what to name their wonderful baby? Annual statistics will help you answer this question; the data was taken to compile a ranking of the 20 most popular male baby names in 2019.

Therefore, the advice is this: it is enough to find data from civil registry offices for cities or regions of the Russian Federation, for the entire country, and then make a choice based on the overall 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, choose something “fashionable” that is in demand in society.

Moreover, the most prudent citizens think about this long before the birth of children. Some people consult with older relatives, relying on family traditions. Those who respect faith use religious calendars. The majority do not pay any attention to the “rules” for choosing names, but are guided solely by personal sympathies.

Main modern trends

The first thing that catches your eye when analyzing the most popular names over the last decade is a craving for tradition: Alexandra, Maxim, Artem, Danila, Ivan, Dmitry take precedence among newborns from year to year.

The same picture is observed among girls - statistics claim that over the last quarter of a century, starting from the collapse of the USSR (1991), Anastasia was born most of all. Significantly inferior, but also in the lead: Polina, Victoria, Daria, Sofia.

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

Internationality

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

Versatility

The crazy speed of modern life does not leave time for auditory enjoyment of such beautiful “music” as Maximilian, Benjamin or Constantine. The future obviously belongs to 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 this until birth.

Universal options will come to the aid of these originals - Valery (Valeria), Evgeniy (Evgeniya), Renat (Renata), Kamil (Camilla), etc.

Fantasy

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

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

The desire to christen one’s offspring Lucifer, the abbreviation BOCH rVF 260602, or Nicholas II causes mass bewilderment, which fortunately has even reached the State Duma deputies. In April 2019, Russian legislators passed an act prohibiting from now on calling children by titles, curse words, as well as numbers and alphanumeric combinations.

TOP 20 male names, fashionable in 2019

Now - directly to the rating. Its main feature lies in the Slavic, Greek, and 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, and some Ural and Siberian regions, Turkic, Caucasian, Persian, and Arabic are also in use. In general, statistics for individual regions have almost no effect on the overall picture.

The list of popular male names in 2019 is compiled in order of increasing “fashionability” in Russia from twentieth to first place.

20: Denis – Dionysus

Once upon a time it was only a common abbreviation for the full church Dionysius, which meant “belonging to Dionysus,” the god of Olympus, who was responsible for winemaking, natural fertility, and inspiration.

Denises (Dennises, Denises) are widespread in European countries. They can be conveniently shortened to Dena in modern times.

Celebrities:

poet, hero of the War of 1812 Denis Davydov;
poet, writer D. Fonvizin;
Dutch football player Dennis Bergkamp;
Minister of Trade Denis Manturov.

19: Timothy – a worshiper of God

The ancient Greek option, which our contemporaries readily choose for their sons. In Europe, it is also in demand in the following form: Timothy - for English-speaking countries, Timoteo (y) - for Romance-speaking countries. It can be easily shortened to a convenient one - Timo, Tima, Tim or Timi.

Famous people:

Timothy Leary – writer, psychologist, “guru” of the psychedelic era;
T. Mozgov is one of the strongest players in the Russian Federation, center for the Brooklyn Nets;
T. Bazhenov is a reporter, TV program presenter.

18: Yaroslav or Slava bright

The name was very common in Rus'. It was assigned to newborn boys as if in advance, clearly expecting that they would grow up and then cover themselves with unfading, bright glory through heroic deeds.

Personalities who achieved fame:

Grand Duke of Kyiv Yaroslav the Wise;
author of the immortal “Schweik” J. Hasek;
World champion in athletics Y. Rybakov.

17: Venerable Sergei

Sergei also does not go out of fashion. Sergestus was the name of one of the friends of Aeneas, the hero of the Trojan War, the main character of Virgil's Aeneid.

In Rus', for a long time this name was “usurped” by the clergy. A number of famous martyrs and righteous people were called this way; just remember Sergius of Radonezh.

8: Victorious Nikita

This is one of the most popular boy names in 2019 from among the temporarily forgotten ones. In recent years, “Nikita” has been revived with renewed vigor - Russians are increasingly choosing the name, based on its euphony and meaning. Nikita is a winner.

TOP 5 leaders

The list of the most popular boys' names among Russians in 2019 is traditionally topped by:

Alexander
Artem
Maksim
Danila
Dmitriy.

Their prevalence is so great that it somehow even becomes offensive for the great many other beautiful names.

Danil (Danila) comes from the prophet Daniel (God is a judge). Artem means “perfectly healthy.” They call them Dmitry, recalling the goddess of fertility Demeter, and Maxim, in general, is “the greatest.”

The rating is headed by Alexander. The fashion for Alexander has never passed, and it is unlikely to pass, because he is a man, a protector, a patron. Hundreds of great kings, generals, popes, scientists, writers, starting with Alexander the Great himself, made it fashionable.

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character and destiny. But how to choose the perfect name?

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, but this prevents the child from developing. The name must be chosen based on the fact of birth. An extremely deep and comprehensive analysis of the boy’s character. Astrological and numerological techniques have wasted all the knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries and turned into nothing more than entertainment.

Christmastide calendars, without consulting a pure and seeing specialist, are also superficial knowledge. Which do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the child’s fate.

And lists of popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, and soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion dictated by ignorance, unprofessionalism and selfishness.

Despite the fact that there are cultural interpretations of what male names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each boy is individual.

Various characteristics - positive traits of a name, negative traits of a name, choice of profession by name, influence of a name on business, influence of a name on health, psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, task for life and the type of specific child.

The topic of name compatibility in general is an absurdity, which turns on the interactions of different people with the internal mechanisms of the influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

The meaning of the name has no literal impact. For example, Victor, this does not mean that the young man will win everywhere. The name can block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, it will help another boy solve love problems, making life and achieving goals much easier. The third boy may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.

The most popular male names of 2015\2016\2017...2019 are also a misconception. Despite the fact that 95% of boys are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on a specific child.

The secret of a man's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name is not suitable, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with a patronymic, astrologically accurate, benevolent, it will still be a crooked dummy.

Below are about 500 male names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate,

Remember! Choosing a name for a child is a huge responsibility. A name can greatly make a person’s life easier, but it can also cause harm.

1. You can't pick a name, although already at 3-4 months or even just gave birth?

Choosing a name for a man is a responsible matter. A newborn boy must be given a name that would personify courage, strength, and self-confidence. Of no small importance is the circumstance in which month the boy was born. For example, winter children are stubborn and domineering, so naming for them should contain soft sounds that soften negative character traits.

But in the spring, romantic and sublime natures are born, such boys need to choose strong and truly masculine names. In summer, brave and kind personalities are born; the names of such people must contain sonorous sounds. But autumn gives the child notes of distrust and selfishness, so simple but sonorous names are chosen for such people. What are the planned popular male names of 2019 in Russia?

Elisha,
Alexei,
Paul,
Svyatoslav.

You should pay attention to options where there are no rough sounds, and there are many syllables in the full spelling. If the name begins with a vowel, the negative qualities in boys will also be less pronounced.

Damir;
Radomir;
Karen;
Armen;

A soft middle name and a sonorous name complement each other perfectly. In addition, there are other more important factors that determine the course of a person’s life.
