We hope you’ve got lots of ideas now when it comes to picking the perfect name for your little one, with the help of our our list of the most popular unisex baby names.

   

100 Gender Neutral Names – The Most Popular Unisex Baby Names

ICYMI, it’s 2022—and more so than ever, people are engaging in open conversations about gender fluidity and actively working to break the very tired male-female binary. And that, naturally, includes baby names. There’s already so much stress involved in naming your sweet bb offspring, and trying to stick with “traditional” male and female names just makes it harder.

To be fair, you can name a human baby whatever name you want, no matter the sex they’re assigned at birth. These are just facts. But if you don’t want to think about whether or not your bundle of joy’s name is viewed as more feminine or masculine (f*ck those norms, really), then you’ve come to the right place. If you have a partner, it’s already tough enough to agree on names you both like—I loved one name, my husband loved another, and we couldn’t agree on either—much less come up with something that doesn’t feel overused, dated, or potentially inauthentic for your little one in the future.

To make the process easier, we rounded up 100 gender-neutral baby names that’ll be perfect for your future angel on earth—no matter their gender. And as a bonus, they’re all unique too. (Psst, it’ll be hard to choose because we’re obsessed with all of them.) Some have historically been used for a particular gender, and others have always been used for their gender-neutral potential. Yes, this is your cue to toss those outdated color coded baby-name books that your mom dusted off from storage. Who reads baby-name books when Google exists, anyway? Sorry to all baby-name book writers out there, but we have all the unisex baby names you need below.

Hebrew for “tranquil,” Shiloh has historically been dubbed as a girl’s name for a long time. But that’s changed recently!

42. Dakota

One of the top unisex names in the U.S., Dakota originates from the Native American community in the northern Mississippi Valley. It means “a friendly one.”

43. Jamie

We’ve seen this one commonly used with boys and girls throughout the years. It still stands as a very popular gender-neutral name (and not just a nickname).

44. Shawn

This name has English, Irish, and American origins. In English, it translates to “from the shady grove.” And in Irish and English, it means “gift from God.” It’s been popularly used as a boy’s name, but it would be just as cute for a baby girl. It can also be spelled as Sean or Shaun.

45. Leslie

Derived from Scotland, the name Leslie translates to “garden of holly.” We’ve seen stars like Leslie Mann and Leslie Jordan share the name too!

46. James

I think we have Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds to thank for popularizing and retooling this boy’s name. They named their daughter and oldest child James and it’s the cutest thing! (Also, you could use Jamie, above, as a nickname.)

47. Cameron

Can’t help but think that maybe Cameron Diaz is the one who changed the game??

48. Billie

The name Billie has an English origin and has been a common name for boys. But girls can 100 percent have the name too! (Hi, Billie Eilish.)

49. Quinn

An Irish name meaning “chief leader” or “intelligence,” Quinn has become slightly more popular with girls than boys in recent years. TBD on whether or not Glee had anything to do with that.

50. Elliott

This name has been popular with all babies for decades now. You can also opt to spell it with a single “t” or “l” to make it a little ~extra~ in a cute way.

51. Emerson

While this one used to skew more female (61 percent in 2013), it’s slowly on the come-up as a more gender-neutral name too.

52. Finley

This is one of the few gender-neutral names that are truly unisex, meaning it doesn’t skew heavily one way for boys or girls. As of 2018, the gender-split percentage was reported to be 58 percent girls, 42 percent boys.

53. Marlowe

Marlowe means “driftwood” and has historically been coded as a girl’s name. In recent years, however, it’s been branching out.

54. North

Obviously, Kim popularized this name when her and Kanye’s first child was born in 2013. However, baby-name experts say it’s gaining momentum not just as a girl’s name. Plus, the nickname Nori is a grade-A option.

56. Rory

You can immortalize Rory from Gilmore Girls with your baby too. 😉

57. Arden

This is an English name meaning “valley of the eagle.” Although it tends to be almost twice as popular with girls, it’s not limited.

58. Riley

It has an Irish origin and means “courageous. ” Originally a popular name for boys, Riley has grown so popular that it is the number one female name starting with “R.” Fans of Inside Out, raise your hands!

59. Bailey

While it may forever be thought of as something that should be mixed with coffee, Bailey is still an adorable name for a baby. It’s popular with all the lil bbs but it currently trends much higher for girls.

60. Jules

Often a nickname for Julie or Julia, Jules has become popular with the boys over the years as a nickname for Julian and as a stand-alone name. Also, it’s the name of our fave gal from Euphoria.

Sage

Sage is of Latin origin and means “wise,” which is pretty baller, if you ask me. Who wouldn’t want a brilliant bb?

62. Alex

Alex as a nickname for either Alexander or Alexandra has been huge pretty much since the dawn of time. That said, Alex on its own has been seeing a steady rise over the years.

63. Kendall

Usually a girl’s name, à la Kendall Jenner, Kendall is of British origin, meaning “valley of the river Kent.” It’s also been popular with boys (ahem, Succession!).

Traditionally a boy’s name, Micah is now popular across the board—possibly as an alternative to the increasingly popular Michaela. It means “who is like the Lord.”

65. Angel

67. London

Becoming more popular for girls for now, London is still a perfectly pleasant name, honoring a beautiful British city (duh).

68. River

One of the most famous Rivers—actor River Phoenix—gave this name a traditionally male association. But since Kelly Clarkson decided to call her daughter River, it’s slowly increasing in popularity elsewhere too.

69. Harper

Once the Beckhams named their only daughter Harper, it immediately shot up in popularity for girls, which checks out. But parents really like it for all their little ones.

70. Charlie

Charlie has long been thought of as the nickname for Charles, but recently, it’s been a popular nickname for the name Charlotte.

71. Drew

Typically a boy’s name (save for the queen, Drew Barrymore), Drew is quite popular for little fellas. But expect to see lots of little girls named Drew running around in the upcoming years, now that Jessica Simpson gave it to her daughter Maxwell as a middle name.

72. Reagan

Reagan, which occasionally is spelled Regan, is more popular with girls but certainly works as a gender-neutral name as well.

73. Logan

It’s damn near impossible to go to a park without running into a little Logan these days. The name has shot up in popularity over the past few years.

74. Sawyer

Sawyer is more popular for boys (maybe thanks to Sawyer from Lost?), but stars like Sara Gilbert have taken to giving the name to their daughters, which no doubt will make it more popular in the next few years.

75. Taylor

Once typically used just for girls, Taylor—partly thanks to Taylor Lautner—has been climbing the ranks. While the name may feel a little ’90s for some, Taylor Swift has put it on the map for a new generation. Sort of related: Remember when Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner dated?

76. Kennedy

The name Kennedy sounds trendy and classic for all human babes but is often thought of as a girl’s name. However, if name meanings are particularly important to you, you might want to steer clear of this one. Kennedy means “misshapen head.”

77. Hayden

This celebrity name (Hayden Panettiere and Hayden Christensen) is currently more popular with boys, but don’t sleep on it as a unisex option.

Nico

Actor Thandiwe Newton gave the name Nico to her daughter. Alternate spellings include Nikko and Niko, which are both chill.

More popular for boys—thanks to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s son—Jaden has risen in popularity quite a bit in the past few years.

81. Gray

The name Grayson for boys has been wildly popular in the past few years. But Gray is cute for everyone!

82. Jordan

Although it’s usually thought of as a boy’s name, Jordan makes it into the top 300 names for girls. The name skyrocketed to popularity in the ’90s during Michael Jordan’s heyday and is still going strong.

83. Skyler

Skyler—also spelled Skylar—is popular for all. The name is actually a variation of the name Schuyler, which is a Dutch surname (hi, Hamilton!).

84. Sasha

Perhaps thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen (who pronounces it “Sasha”), the name Sasha is rising in popularity for boys. The name means “defender of men.”

85. Rowan

Rowan, which means “little red head,” is popular among every gender. One of the most famous Rowans is Mr. Bean himself, British comedian Rowan Atkinson. So your kid will have a great legacy there.

86. Parker

The preppy name, which actually means “park keeper,” is trending higher for boys. It’s still pretty hot, thanks in part to indie queen Parker Posey.

87. Reign

This short and sweet name would be the perfect fit for your baby royal. It’s seen a slight uptick in popularity thanks to Kourtney Kardashian’s youngest son, and it’s got a real air of power to it.

88. Noah

Whether you use it with the typical spelling or you drop the “h” and go with Noa, this classic name has always been a hit for boys. In the early 2000s, it gained traction elsewhere—just look at Noah Cyrus!

89. Anderson

Surnames that work as first names? Forever chic. There’s even the adorable Andi nickname op!

90. Greer

This name means “watchful” or “vigilant” and derives from Scotland. It’s not the most popular name, but it’s been on the rise since the ’90s.

91. Ellis

This name is basically the unisex answer to many of its counterparts. If you don’t want to go too gendered with names like Elliot, Eleanor, or even Ella, Ellis is a gorgeous more neutral option.

92. Corey

If you change up the spelling here just a tad, this name comes with a completely different energy. Kori, Cori, Cory…the opportunities are endless.

93. Brooklyn

We love a city-based name. Also, David and Victoria Beckham have, like, the best taste in unisex names?

94. Bowie

Obvi, this one was famously the stage name for rock star David Bowie, but since his passing in 2016, it’s skyrocketed in first name popularity. It’s originally Scottish and it means “fair-haired.”

95. Addison

Originally, this name was developed as the female derivative of Adam, but now it’s a unisex name for common folk and famous TikTokers alike.

August

Month names are *it*. C’mon, look at January Jones. If you appreciate this vibe, August ranks high up there when it comes to months that look good on an ID.

97. Ryan

Has this remained one of the most popular boy’s names for, like, the past century? Sure. But it’s now also a v trendy gender-neutral name. How’s that for a twist?

98. Avery

Now here’s a real classic. It comes from the old English word for “elf,” which, love.

99. Austin

What did we say about city names? They’re usually sooo cool. You can even get a little creative and go with Austyn if you’re looking to switch things up.

100. Robin

Here’s a tried-and-true fave. From Robin Williams to Ms. “Dancing on My Own” Robyn, plenty of icons have done this name proud. I mean, considering it means “bright fame,” that totally adds up.

50 Unique Boy Girl Twin Names

You can either name them with similar names or different names with the same meaning.

Image: Shutterstock

When you have twins, you will couple every aspect of their lives, including their names. But finding such twin boy and girl names having similar sounds, construct, or themes is difficult. These names should also bear the burden of being the most unique and meaningful set that determines your love, interests, or care for them. To help you ease this task, here is our list of the unique names for twins. Read on to take your pick.

Choosing The Best Twin Boy And Girl Names:

Here are a few things you need to keep in mind while choosing names for twin boys and girls.

• Stick with the theme. Do not choose two entirely opposite names for your twins.
• Select the name with the same letter.
• We’d suggest you select names with the same number of syllables.
• Baby names ending with the same last letter would be great.
• You can even choose names that sound or rhyme the same.

Names With Similar Meanings For Twin Boys And Girls:

1. Andrew and Andrea (manly):

Andrew is one of the most appealing old-timey baby boy names. And the host of nicknames associated with this name makes it friendlier.

The name Andrea has been in circulation since the late 19th century, but did not see real success until the 1940s. Its etymology might be ‘manly’, but the name is absolutely feminine.

2. Jade and Jayden (stone of the side):

The name Jade has been rising in popularity ever since Bianca and Mick Jagger chose it for their daughter. Currently, it’s one of the top 10 names in France.

Jayden is the male version of Jade. This name got a huge bounce after being chosen by Britney Spears.

3. Oliver and Olivia (olive tree):

Oliver experienced a heavy usage at the turn of the 20th century, but went out of favor by the 1960s. But it’s enjoying a revival in America now.

The name Olivia was first coined by Shakespeare in his play “Twelfth Night” as a feminine version of Oliver.

4. Brian and Brianna (noble):

Brian comes from the Old Gaelic-Celtic word ‘brig’ and means ‘noble.’ This name was a crowd pleaser in the 1950s and reached its popularity in 1970s.

Briana, the feminine form of Brian, keeps moving in and out of popularity list. The one with the double N is more popular in the United States.

5. Jonah and Jemima (dove):

Jonah is an Old Testament name born by the hotheaded prophet of Israel. Interestingly, this name is familiar in two whale countries- Alaska and Hawaii.

Jemima is also an Old Testament name, borne by the eldest daughter of Job. It’s currently one of the top 200 names in England.

6. Bert and Bertha (the bright one):

Bert started as a nickname of Bertram and Albert, but it’s now being polished by the British. Bert Jansch, the English singer-songwriter is its namesake.

Bertha was also a 20th-century favorite. This quaintly old-fashioned and lovely will remain in our book of bright names.

Names Associated with Nature For Twin Boys And Girls:

7. Bay and Beach:

With the popularity of word names being all time high, Beach would make an intelligent pick for your son. You can even spell this name as Beech.

Bay is a usable and of course pleasant nature name for your daughter. It’s inspired by the body of water that is connected to a lake or ocean. We think it would sound amazing.

8. Clover and Cliff:

The topographical name Cliff is familiar as a short form of the names Clifton and Clifford. Clifford Lee “Cliff” Burton, former bass guitarist for Metallica, would be its most famous bearer.

Clover is a charming and perky pick for a nature baby name. It’s for parents who want to move beyond traditional floral names like Lily or Rose. And as most of you would know, the clover is associated with good luck.

9. Pine and Petunia:

The moniker Pine is an excellent alternative to its siblings Juniper, Elm, Oak, and Spruce. It started as a name for girls, but it’s now used more for boys.

Petunia is inspired by the beautiful, trumpet-shaped flower that blooms in summer. It came into the mainstream via “Loony Tunes”. Petunia was the name of Porky Pig’s girlfriend.

Spiritual Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

10. Abigail and Benjamin:

Abigail is a Hebrew, Biblical name, meaning ‘source of joy.’ There are two references of Abigail in the Bible. Abigail was a beautiful wife of Nabal, who displayed great tact in dealing with David’s army. After Nabal’s death, she married David. Besides, Abigail was also the name of David’s sister.

Benjamin is a Hebrew name, meaning ‘fortunate or right hand.’ Benjamin was the name of Jacob and Rachael’s youngest son. He was also the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

11. Emmanuel and Emma:

Emmanuel is a Hebrew name, appearing in chapters seven and eight of the Book of Isaiah. It means ‘God with us.’

Emma is the female variant of the name Emmanuel. The extreme usage of this name has popularized it as one of the time-honored picks.

12. Nathalie and Nathan:

Nathalie is a lovely spiritual name, meaning ‘born on Christmas.’ Some even relate this name to Nathanael, one of the twelve apostles in the Bible.

Nathan was the name of one of the prophets of the Old Testament. He was the teacher of Solomon and the adviser of David. It means ‘he has given.’

Sanskrit Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

13. Dhruv and Tara:

Dhruv and Tara are Sanskrit names, meaning ‘polar star’. Your children will twinkle just like the stars with these names.

14. Aditi and Aditya:

Aditi is a popular Sanskrit name, meaning ‘mother of gods’. Aditya, on the other hand, means ‘belonging to Aditi. ’

15. Harsh and Harshini:

Both Harsh and Harshini mean ‘happy.’ No wonder it’s embraced by so many people all over India.

Happy Sounding Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

16. Alisa And Asher:

Alisa is a Hebrew name, meaning ‘great happiness.’ This name is fairly less used than its other forms Alyssa and Alicia, probably because of its association with Lisa.

It may be hard to believe, but Asher is also a Biblical name. And despite its Biblical ties, this name feels thoroughly modern and stylish.

17. Felix and Felicity:

Felix is an energetic and strong sounding name, meaning ‘happy.’ This name reminds us of Felix the Cat, the highly popular cartoon cat.

Felicity is one of those names that bring a smile on our face. It’s borrowed from the Latin word ‘Felicitas’ and means ‘happiness and good fortune’.

18. Letitia And Laris:

Letitia, meaning ‘joy and happiness’ was the name of a Saint revered highly in Spain. This prim and proper name is highly popular with the Latin families. You can even go for its variation, Lettice.

Laris is a Latin name, meaning ‘happy.’ We think this moniker would make a perfect cross-cultural name. It sounds familiar, yet friendly while retaining the charisma of a foreigner.

Flora Inspired Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

19. Flora and Forest:

Flora is associated not just with the greenery around them, but also with the Roman goddess of springs and flowers. Also belonging to a Saint, the name Flora has been a favorite in Scotland for ages now.

The French occupational name Forest is more common as its variation Forrest. This name is associated with Forest Steven Whitaker, the American actor.

20. Rose And Ren:

The name Rose needs no explanation, right? This sweet-smelling floral name would sound great as both a first and middle name. This moniker reached its highest point in the 1990s.

Ren is a Japanese name, meaning ‘lotus.’ This name is famous for its association with Ren McCormack, Kevin Bacon’s character in “Footloose”. Renny would make a cute nickname.

21. Amir and Amira:

Amir is a lovely Arabic name, meaning ‘treetop.’ Actor Omar Epps chose this common Middle Eastern name for his son. Amir is also the title of a high official.

Amira is the feminine version of the name Amir. This shimmery name is traditionally given to girls born on Shavuot, the harvest feast. This incredibly popular name is borne by Amira Ahmed, the Somali-Filipino model.

Celebrity Inspired Names For Twin Boy And Girl:

22. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, or Brangelina as they are popularly known as named their children Vivienne and Knox.

23. Julia Roberts, our “Pretty Woman” named her children Hazel and Phinnaeus.

24. “Legen-wait for it-dary” Neil Patrick Harris named his children Gideon And Harper.

25. Coldplay’s vocalist Will Champion has babies named Juno and Rex. Cute, isn’t it?

Twin Baby Boy And Girl Names That Rhyme:

26.

Marie and Zachary:

Marie, the German, French and Scandinavian version of Maria brings to mind Marie Antoinette, the glamorous, elegant but ill-fated queen.

The name Zachary saw a revival in American in the latter half of the 20th century and reached an all-time high in 1994.

27. Madison and Mason:

Madison is a German name, meaning ‘mighty battle.’ This name was influenced by the hugely popular film “Splash”, where Daryl Hannah played a mermaid of the same name.

Mason, as a surname, dates back to the 11th century, when the last names were used as identification. Today, this name is used exclusively within the English speaking nations.

28. Wilson and Alison:

If you like the name William, but hate the fact that it’s too common, you can go with Wilson, which means ‘son of William.’

Alison is derived from Alice and means ‘of the noble kind’. Gwyneth Paltrow used it as a middle name for her daughter Apple.

29. Isaiah and Isabella:

Isaiah was the name of one of the greatest prophets in the Bible. This name means ‘God is salvation.’

The four-syllable name Isabella is elegant royal, beautiful and an all-around gorgeous name. It means ‘God is my oath.’

Names That Start With The Same Letter:

30. Mia and Max:

Mia entered the world as a diminutive of Maria, but became a rage as a standalone name, thanks to the American actress Mia Farrow.

Max is one of the most common Max names, which include Maxwell, Maximum, and Maximilian. This longtime favorite of Americans is indeed one of the ‘greatest’ names.

31. Samuel and Sophia:

Samuel has not fallen off the top 100-baby name list for over a century. Now that’s incredible. This classic name is hit with the parents for its antique charm and beautiful meaning.

The time-tested name Sophia has been consistently on the charts since the government began tracking naming trends. The name sounds sophisticated and beautiful.

32. Chloe and Caleb:

The name Caleb first appeared in the Old Testament’s “Book of Exodus’, where Caleb was a contemporary of Moses. Standing at the #30th spot, Caleb is at its peak of popularity.

The name Chloe arrived in America via the Puritans. After being out of favor for centuries, this moniker took a turn for better at the beginning of the 20th century.

33. Zac and Zoey:

Zac, the diminutive of Zachary has acquired enough reputation to work on its own, just like Max and Jack. Zac Efron is its stylish namesake.

With so many chic Z starting names, we think Zoey would be the best. Jamie Lynn Spears, the lead actor of “Zoey 101” gave spunk and charm to this name.

34. Riley and Reagan:

Riley is derived from an old Irish name Raghallaigh and means ‘valiant.’ This moniker is sweet sounding and unpretentious, which adds to its appeal.

Reagan is an Irish surname, meaning ‘impulsive.’ It will forever be associated with President Reagan. And it has Irish spiciness too!

35. Charlie and Charlotte:

The name Charlie has been in use since the 16th century and was born by a number of kings and rulers. It’s currently one of the top 20 names in Scotland, Ireland, and Sweden.

Charlotte, the feminine version of the name Charles has an enduring charm to it. This moniker is just too lovely for words. It’s been in use in America for over a century and is still going strong.

Seasonal Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

36. Julius and Julia:

Julius is an ancient Roman family name derived from Julianus. It’s dignified, classical, handsome and intelligent and harkens back to the days of ancient Rome.

Julia is a Latin name, derived from Julius and means ‘soft-haired and youthful.’ The name is short to spell, but boasts of a rhythmic three-syllable sound.

37. January and Nova:

January, the new year brings with it new resolutions, which is especially true when you are trying to lose the baby weight. So why not name your child after it? And is sounds cooler than April and May.

Latin name Nova, meaning ‘new beginning’ would make an apt choice for girls. And it’s the name of a star. The concept and meaning behind this name make a cool option.

38. February and Freya:

The baby boy name February derives from the Latin word ‘februa’ and means ‘purification feast’. We love the wintry overtones of this name.

Freya is the name of the Norse goddess of fertility and love. We love how this name rolls off the tongue. And Freya goes with the Valentine’s month, too!

39. Augustus and Augusta:

Augustus is a Latin name, meaning ‘great and magnificent.’ This grand name fell off the baby name charts in the 70s and 80s, but is making a mild return now.

Augusta, the feminine version of the name August also gives a nod to the month of August. It was once a dignified title of honor given to the wives and daughters of the Roman emperors.

40. Sunny and Nikko:

Sunny would make a bright and vibrant baby name for your little girl. This lovely name is associated with Sunny Mabrey, the American actress.

Nikko is a cute Japanese name, meaning ‘sunlight. ’ Brian McKnight also chose this lovely name for his son. And it’s the name of a character in “The Wizard of Oz”.

Destination Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

41. London and Landon:

Even though the name London was coined for boys, it’s more popular for baby girls. The ‘wild and bold’ meaning gives the name an added edge.

Very few people know that Landon originated as a place name. Yes, you guessed it right. Landon is derived from London. The unique ring of this moniker makes it highly attractive.

42. Eden and Verona:

Eden, as in the Biblical Garden of Eden, is a Hebrew name, meaning ‘place of pleasure.’ This moniker has been rising dramatically, jumping over a hundred places in the past year. In the year 2015, Eden was given to over 500 baby boys.

Verona, the name of the stunning Northern Italian city, has become a modern variation of Veronica. Sinclair Lewis used this name for a character in his novel Babbitt.

43. Bronx and Brooklyn:

Bronx, a place in New York was named after the early Dutch settler, Jonas Bronck. It became super popular when the rockers Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson used it for their son.

The name Brooklyn has experienced a major makeover in the past few years. From being a Borough Boy name in the 90s, it has become the 21st most popular baby girl name.

44. Dakota and Dallas:

The trendy name Dakota was one of the trendiest names of the 90s, but is lagging behind a bit now. This unisex name got into the female territory when Dakota Fanning, the American actor came to the forefront.

Dallas, inspired by a place name in America is actually an Irish name meaning ‘skilled.’ This moniker has a laid-back feel and a broad appeal. What do you think?

Virtue Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

45. Fidel And Hope:

The English name Faith is derived from Latin word ‘fides’, which means ‘faithful. Fidel Alejandro Castro (Ruz), the 17th President of Cuba, is its famous bearer.

Hope is a quick, one syllable name that’s easy to spell and easy to pronounce. And what more could you want for your child than positive ‘hope’ for the future?

46. Garret and Grace:

Garret is a variation of Gerard and means ‘strength.’ This upscale name of the 90s is now dawdling at the bottom of top 1000. So it would make a unique name for your child.

Grace has experienced a successful history in the baby name world. This graceful name would make an excellent middle name as well.

47. Amity and Calm:

Could there be a nicer gift to your little girl than a moniker that signifies friendship. We also think it would make a distinctive variant of Amy.

Calm, a modern virtue name would sound at in this pressurizing world.

Reversed (Palindrome) Names For Twin Boys And Girls:

48. Nadia and Aidan:

Nadia is a lovely, unique and not-so-underused name, meaning ‘hope.’ It’s derived from the Russian name Nadezhda.

Aidan is the spelling variation of the name Aiden and means ‘little fire.’ The popularity of this name in America can be attributed to the growing interest in Irish name.

Noel, meaning ‘Christmas’ would make a cool choice for traditional parents. This name feels stylish and chic in its confident way.

Choosing a baby name is one of the first decisions parents have to make. Decisions that go into choosing a baby name include: Do you want to honor a relative? Do you want to choose a name that’s obviously a baby boy name or a baby girl name, or do you want to pick a unisex baby name? Do you want to choose a unique or popular name? Do you want to choose person or subject that’s trending such as a celebrity, superhero or hot topic like cryptocurrency? Eth or Bitcoin anyone?

Some parents want to choose something traditional and classic that most people can pronounce and spell right of the bat. Other parents are looking for more unusual and unique baby names, to stand out from the crowd.

Here are some considerations and tips for choosing a baby name

• Write out the initials
• Think about nicknames
• Consider sibling names
• Research and analyze name meanings
• Consider uniqueness and popularity
• Check spelling options
• Use the middle name to balance out the first name
• Be careful with trendy names that may pass, become negative (think cancel culture or worse), lose meaning over time
• Say it out loud
• Most name associations from your past won’t last (some might)

Consider these names:

• Family Names
• Cultural or Ethnic Names
• Place Names
• Names from Pop Culture
• Religious Names
• Season Names
• Nature Names
• Color Names
• Mythology or Superhero Names
• Astrology Names
• History
• Unisex Names

100 Baby Names That Mean Water (Boys & Girls)

When you’re expecting, one of the first things you’ll begin to wonder about is what name to give your baby.

Some find this task easy, but for others, it’s a major challenge. Naming your baby is a big deal — it’s something they’ll live with for the rest of their lives. So, finding a name with a special meaning is a fantastic idea.

If water has always been important to you, you might want to find a baby name that equates in some way to it. Many cultures hold water in high esteem. In Egypt, it is a symbol of birth, growth, and renewal.

You may be surprised by the number of baby names that mean water.

Water Baby Names for Boys

Here are 50 wonderful names that mean water for boys.

1. Aalto

Aalto is a Scandinavian name of Finnish origin.

It means “wave” and is famous for being the last name of a Finnish designer and architect. It’s a distinctive choice seeing as it’s not a common name in the U. S.

2. Adrian

Adrian is of Latin origin and means “sea” or “water.”

It’s a short version of the name given to Adrianus or Hadrianus. Adrian draws its beginning and purpose from the Venetic and Illyrian word Adur. If you opt for this name, be forewarned, your son might have to hear a lot of “Yo, Adrian” jokes that stem from the franchise of Rocky movies.

3. Aenon

Aenon, or Ænon, equates to “water spring.”

It’s a biblical name, derived from the Gospel of John, inspired by his baptism following his meeting with Jesus. Although Ænon is an ancient Greek word, in the Middle-East, it was a word used to name water sources.

4. Alun

Alun is of Welsh origin, inspired by the Afon Alun river in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.

This is another creative name you won’t find many boys with in the U.S. It’s probably best known as the name of the famous Welsh rugby player, Alun Wyn Jones.

5. Arledge

Arledge is an English name that means “dweller at the rabbit lake. ”

It’s most famous for being the surname of Roone Arledge, an American sports and news broadcasting executive.

6. Arno

Arno is a modern version of Arnold — it originates from Germany, where it means “eagle.”

However, if we go to Italy, Arno is also the name of a famous river running from the Ligurian Sea into the mainland. Here, Arno translates to “flowing water.”

7. Bach

It’s another name from Germany, and it denotes “the dweller near the brook.”

Whether you’re giving your baby a water-themed name or honoring Johann Sebastian Bach, this has a rich connotation. Bach might be better suited as a middle name because of how unusual it is in the U.S.

8. Barbeau

From Germany to France, Barbeau means “fisherman.” In France, it’s most commonly used as a surname and comes from the word “Barbel,” which is a type of fish.

The name is a bit exotic, and a whole lot different — excellent for parents who don’t want their child to be called “Aiden #2” in school.

9. Bardo

The name Bardo has mixed beginnings, tracing its roots to German, Aboriginal, or Tibetan origins. It merely means “water” but is used in several cultures.

Today, it’s most famous for the “Lincoln in the Bardo” novel by George Saunders, and as the middle name of Sandra Bullock’s son. For Tibetan Buddhists, Bardo is the state of delay between one life and the next. However, it’s also notable for Saint Bardo, who was a bishop in the 11th century Germany.

10. Beck

Beck is known as a name for a stream, but its English origin is “one living beside a small stream.”

Beck is originally a boy’s name, but it’s become quite popular for girls, too. The female version, however, often includes a “Y,” so it becomes Becky.

11. Beckett

Of English origin, Beckett means “beehive,” “bee cottage” or “little brook,” so it’s not exclusively a water-themed name.

Beckett also has some history behind it. It was the name of the martyred Saint Thomas à Becket, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder by supporters of King Henry II in 1170. His story was the theme of a 1964 movie starring Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton. Beckett has become a popular name this decade and is rising in the U.S. rankings.

12. Beckham

It’s an English name, meaning “homestead by the stream.”

Beckham is most famous for being the surname of the well-known soccer player, David Beckham. The name has increased significantly in popularity in the U.S. in the last decade.

Tips for Choosing a Baby Name

How Does it Sound?

The sound is probably the most crucial part of a name. Decide on your chosen name or names, and ask yourself these questions:

• Does it sound pleasant or harsh?
• How does it seem with your last name?
• Is it easy to call out?

Some parents prefer pairing a long first name with a short last name, and vice versa. Many, however, will agree that combining two vowels doesn’t sound well. Avoid choosing a first name ending with a vowel and the last name starting with one.

Steer away from choosing a first name that rhymes with your last name. And, for your child’s sake, don’t do puns like Bud Weiser or Holly Wood — your child probably won’t be happy later on.

Uniqueness

There’s a fine line between a distinctive name and an unusual one. Choosing an uncommon name is a good idea to make your little one stand out.

In saying this, picking an extremely odd name can lead to unwanted attention and mispronunciations ⁽¹⁾.

Meaning

If you do some research, you’ll be able to find lots of names with various meanings. Picking a name with significance makes it extra special, and undoubtedly something your child will cherish when they grow up.

Names with meaning could be a particular name like Adrian from the Bible, or it could be from a family member. Honoring family members or a close friend with a name is always a hit.

A Name for All Ages

Consider how the name ages — imagine your child is all grown up and in a professional setting. You don’t want to give them a name which sounds too childish for an adult.

Initials

Initials are common to use in professional settings and monograms. For work emails, for instance, it’s generally the first letter of the first name together with the last name.

So, if you name your little one, Thomas Roll, it will be shortened to [email protected] — not ideal. Consider how the names will fit together.

Popular Names

Avoid choosing the number one baby name of the year. When your child starts preschool, they’ll have to share their first name with others. It’s also quite inconvenient for you when you’re calling their name at the playground, and 11 kids show up.

---

Final Thoughts

Naming your baby is one of the first things parents-to-be think about when expecting. Names play a massive role in identifying us as a person. Deciding on baby names that mean water is one way to narrow your choices down.

Before deciding, consider how it sounds, if it ages well, how unique it is going to be amongst peers, and what the initials will be. Choosing a name that has meaning can make it even more special and loved by friends and family.

But women with these names will definitely be lucky in the cards (a joke, of course, though…)

so that the name will surely bring him happiness. No matter what anyone says, happiness in love is one of the important aspects of a successful life. Let’s not take today’s material on the interpretation of names too seriously (after all, this is just a theory), but just see what names, according to the tarologist, bring future failures in their personal lives to girls. Our colleagues from Woman.ru tried to warn young parents.

Marianna Abravitova is a tarot reader, psychologist and writer.

There is an opinion that the name given at birth programs a certain character in a person and predetermines his fate. From the point of view of energy from the very first day, it is actively involved in the formation of personal qualities, and hence the whole fate of a little person. Therefore, the choice must be approached very carefully. There are a few key recommendations here.

Be careful with names that belong to your relatives or friends. You can only name a child after someone if that person has lived a long and happy life. Otherwise, there is a risk that the child will repeat someone’s not entirely successful fate.

Pay attention to the sound of the name. For a girl, it is better to choose softer combinations of letters. The firmness in the name gives an appropriate character, which is well suited for a boy. Variants of a soft female name – Elena, Julia, Alla, Ksenia. Male options – Artem, Gleb, Victor, Alexander.

According to tarot reader Marianna Abravitova , the name leaves an imprint on the fate of a woman, which is why someone is lucky in love, and someone is more often not.

– I will name, perhaps, the most unfortunate names in Russian culture. I will surprise you, because the three main names, the owners of which have a hard time in life, are Faith, Hope and Love. It so happened that for us these are three whales of reliability and happiness, but the stars ordered otherwise, the expert believes.

Marianna says that the name Vera carries a message of spirituality. A girl, a girl and a woman named Vera will always be a very complex nature, because we live in the material world, and Vera always has a conflict between spirituality and reality.

— Such women either marry late or remain single at all. Unfortunately, they rarely find personal female happiness. But Vera’s career is easy to build, since she has strong energy and most often, instead of personal, she transfers it to the public, – the tarologist believes.

According to the expert’s experience, Hopes are no less internally complex than Faiths.

– Hope – means that we hope, and it turns out that hope is a transfer of energy into the future. For example, happiness is now, and hope is just beyond the horizon. Women with this name become people of missed opportunities, people chasing illusory happiness, the woman explains. The fact is that the energy of Hope is directed towards tomorrow, but it is not enough for real life.

The tarot reader clarifies that there are no universal recommendations, therefore, perhaps, if Nadezhda is influenced by her surname or patronymic, they will stop her energy drifting into the future.

The tarot reader calls this name insidious, all because it denotes the very feeling and emotion. Love live in the heart, rationality is not familiar to them.

– Remember Lyuba from your life. Did she become a school principal or a PhD? It is unlikely that they always talk about men, suitors, how good it is to be loved. This name completely surrounds them, the energy of love is very strong. They have many illusions, and usually they are unhappy in love, because they don’t really relate to it, the tarologist explains.

According to the expert, men often shun Lyubochek because they have many illusions and the energy of love, but few real opportunities and skills.

Recently, we collected 10 trendy and beautiful baby names whose meanings scare parents, and found out that everything is not so scary. Therefore, if you want to name your daughter Varvara, and your son Arthur, let’s discard prejudices (especially since they are very controversial) and go ahead. The editors also selected male and female names with the meaning of “luck” and “happiness” – the list turned out to be very euphonious.

  Names are said to “have a rest”. That is, to remain in oblivion for some time before returning to everyday life

  May 28, 2022, 10:17

  1 comment then his fate will not be the same as that of others, special. Many mothers think so, flipping through the endless pages of the Internet in search of that very name. Basically, parents want to choose an original name so that kindergarten teachers roll their eyes, there are those who choose names that will bring good luck – also an interesting approach. Our colleagues from Wday.ru remembered what names were popular in Moscow 100 years ago, and found out where all the Nastenkas have gone now.

  Nastena, where are you?

  One of the most popular names in post-revolutionary Russia was Anastasia, or affectionately Nastenka. That was the name of almost every tenth girl in the country. By the end of the 20th century, there were very few Nasts. And in recent years, parents are increasingly remembering this undeservedly forgotten beautiful name and giving it to their children. According to statistics, now Nastya is in the top 10 most popular girl names.

  The name Ivan has the same fate – a hundred years ago this name was a classic, then, at 1990 years, Ivanov diminished. And now this name is in fourth place in the popularity rating.

  But the name Galina over the past 100 years has completely lost its relevance. Either because in Spanish and Italian this word means “chicken”, or just tired. The name Lyudmila, which used to be honored, has now been replaced with the short Mila, as newborn girls are now often called.

  Sasha and Lesha are always in fashion

  Such names as Nina, Valentin, Gennady, Anatoly are quite forgotten these days. And if in Soviet times they were widespread, today they are a rarity. Infrequently today you will meet Vasilyev, Tamar and Claudius. Almost disappeared from everyday life such names as Zoya, Evdokia, Lydia, Gerasim, Zinaida. But once it was they who headed the lists of popular names.

  There were other rare names 100 years ago, for example, Timur. This name was so popular that even the writer Arkady Gaidar called his story “Timur and his team” that way. It was understood that any simple boy should associate himself with the hero of this work. But if he called the story “Apollo and his team”, the effect would be completely different.

  But there are names that have not lost their leading positions for more than a century. These are Alexander, Alexey, Sergey, Vladimir, Dmitry and Andrey. They are still very popular with new parents and are widely used. No less popular are the names Elena, Mikhail, Natalya, Olga, Anna. But our great-grandmothers gave them to children!

  Rodion, Korney, Miron – who else?

  By the way, many celebrities prefer to give their children old and rare Russian names. For example, actress Olga Drozdova named her son Elisha, just like the hero of an ancient epic, and the former member of the Ranetki group, Natalya Melnichenko, generally gave her daughter the ancient Russian name of the Story (abbreviated as Tale). Sergei Zhukov from “Hands Up!” named one of his sons by the old name Miron, Natasha Koroleva and Tarzan gave their son the name Arkhip. The daughter of Sergei Shnurov is called the Orthodox name Seraphim, in honor of St. Seraphim of Sarov and the archangel of the same name; The musician named his son Apollo.

  The son of Oleg Gazmanov, Rodion, bears an old name, which a hundred years ago was almost as popular in Russia as Ivan. Do you remember Pushkin’s nanny’s name was Arina Rodionovna?

  Actress Ekaterina Klimova remembered another rather forgotten name – Korney – and gave it to her son. Her colleague Glafira Tarkhanova also named her son Kornei, and carriers of other old Russian names – Yermolai, Gordey and Nikifor – also grow up in her family. According to the actress, they specifically looked for rare names for children to indicate their individuality. After all, anyone can be Sasha or Petya, and you try to be Nikifor.

  The eccentric Nikita Dzhigurda decided to give an old name to his son. One of his heirs is called Artemy-Dobrovlad, which, apparently, means “possessing good.” True, it is not known what patronymic the children of Dobrovlad will have.

  The most popular names in Moscow 100 years ago

  For boys: Vladimir, Victor, Yuri, Anatoly, Nikolai, Alexander, Boris, Evgeny, Valentin, Alexei, Mikhail.

  For girls: Valentina, Nina, Galina, Tamara, Lydia, Vera, Lyudmila, Zinaida, Nadezhda, Anna.

2. Bogdan – Bogdana

Names of Slavic origin, meaning “given by God, bestowed by God, God’s gift.” This is a variant of the old names John (Ivan), Theodore (Fyodor) and Theodot (Fedot), which have the same meaning.

Very often, Bogdan/Bogdana was called the long-awaited, “begged from God baby” – perhaps the only, late child. Now these names are not very common in Russia, but among our Eastern European neighbors, especially in Ukraine, they are still popular.

Diminutives: Bogdik, Bogdanek, Bogdasya, Boncho, Dancho, Danko, Dan, Danya, Bogdanko, Vogdas and so on.

3. Valentine – Valentina

The name Valentine has Latin roots and is translated as “strong, healthy, strong”, in the female version it carries the same meaning. In the old days, this was often called a child whose parents were worried about his health. Valentine has a related name – Valens, which is very rare these days.

Diminutive forms: Valya, Valunya, Roller, Valyusya, Valyusha, Valechka, Valentik and so on.

4. Basil – Vasilisa

Basil is translated from ancient Greek as “royal”. The name Vasily is a derivative of the name Basileios, which later transformed into Vasilios. The female version also has the meaning “queen, regal.”

Previously, these beautiful names were very common in Russia, Vasily and Vasilisa are perhaps the most common characters in Russian folklore. Now they are undeservedly forgotten, unlike many European countries. In France, the name Basil is often found, in Spain – Basilio and Basil, in Portugal – Basiliou, in Germany – Basilius, Basil, in Romania – Vasily, in Greece – Vasilios, Vasilis, Vasilas, in Finland – Pasi.

Fragment of Ivan Bilibin’s illustration for the fairy tale “Vasilisa the Beautiful” (1899)

Diminutive forms: Vasya, Vasilek, Vasyuta, Vasyunya, Vasyusha, Vasilko, Vasyanya, Vasyatka. For girls: Vasa, Vasena, Basilisk, Cornflower, Syuta, Asya, Fox and so on.

5. Vitaly — Vitalina/Vitalia

Derived from the Latin personal nickname Vitalis, literally translated as “related to life, vital”. In other transcriptions – “giving life, life-giving, viable.” The name Vitaliy has two paired female names – Vitaliy and Vitalina, but the female name Vita came from the names Vit and Vitus, related to Vitaliy, which are now almost never found.

It is often believed that these are common folk names, but this is not at all the case. Among the bearers of this name, we find even one Pope, who led the Catholic Church in the 7th century.

Diminutives: Vitalik, Talya, Vitalya, Vitek, Vitas, Vitasya, Vitakha, Vitulya, Vityulya, Vityunya, Vityusha and so on.

6. Victor – Victoria

Translated from Latin – “winner, victorious.” These names gained immense popularity during early Christianity. Then they carried a very important meaning: the victory of the forces of light over the machinations of the devil.

In the USSR, the popularity of the names Victor and Victoria peaked in the second half of the 20th century (until the 1970s inclusive), and then began to decline. However, those parents who want to see their children successful continue to call them by these proud names.

Diminutive forms: Vitya, Vitasya, Vitasik, Vik, Vityasha, Vityulya, Vityunya, Vita, Vika, Vikusya and so on.

7. Evgeny — Evgeniya

These names come from the Greek “noble, descendant of a noble family”. For example, in the Russian Empire of the 19th century, the names Eugene / Eugene firmly entered the everyday life of the nobility. True, they were most often pronounced in the French manner – Eugene / Eugenie, the English version was less often used – Eugene. But in the 20th century, babies were often called Eugenes in the villages.

Diminutive forms: Zhenya, Zhenechka, Zheka, Gena, Zhenyura, Zhenyusha, Evgesha, Gesha, Enyusha, Evgenyushka, Genya and so on.

8. Miroslav – Miroslava

These paired names have Old Slavonic roots, and consist of two semantic parts – “peace” and “glory”. Therefore, in deciphering their meaning, several options are allowed: for example, “glorifying peace”, or “glorified by peacefulness”.

When choosing a name for a child, parents should take into account that the stress here can be placed on the first, second, and third syllable, so it is better to decide on this issue right away. Another nuance that is important for church-going people is that Miroslav’s name does not appear in either Catholic or Orthodox calendars, so you will have to focus on foreign experience. For example, among Orthodox Bulgarians, the name Miroslava is identical to the name Irina.

Diminutives: Mirik, Mirek, Mira, Slava, Mirko, Mirka and so on.

9. Julian / Julius / Ulyan – Juliana / Julia / Uliana

Julian / Julius – the Roman generic name Julius, which was worn by many noble Roman consuls, tribunes, as well as the emperor Gaius Julius Caesar himself. Literally means “from the genus Julius”, or – “Julian”.

Pelagio Palagi. “Gaius Julius Caesar dictates his sayings” (1813)

There is another way to decipher the meaning of these names, according to which they originate from the name of the month of July and are literally translated as “curly”. But these names came to us already from Byzantium, and in Greek they mean “wavy, fluffy, curly.” Female pair names are translated in the same way.

In addition, a common variant arose in Russia – Ulyan / Ulyana, which in former times was very popular among the peasantry. In recent years, interest in this variant of the name has increased again.

Diminutive forms: Yulik, Yulek, Yul, Yus, Yule, Jules, Jul, Yulia, Yula, Ulyanka, Ulya, Ulyasha, Lyana, Yana, Lina, Liana, Ulechka and so on.

10. Nikita – Nikita/Nika

A Greek name derived from Niketas, which means “winner, victorious.” Currently, its male version is quite popular and is often found in Russia. But his female couple is common only in Western Europe.

It is also worth considering that the variant of the female name Nikita with the accent on the last syllable arose only after the release of the famous film by Luc Besson. As for the sonorous name Nika, opinions differ here: some researchers consider it to be paired with the male name Nikita, while others argue that it is independent and comes from the name of the ancient Greek goddess of victory Nike.

Diminutives: Nikitka, Nika, Nikush, Nikenya, Kenya, Nikesha, Kesha, Nikusya, Niki, Niko and so on.

11. Oleg – Olga

Perhaps the greatest number of historical versions and hypotheses is associated with the origin of these paired names. According to the most common of them, the name Oleg originates from the Scandinavian Helgi, which translates as “sacred, holy”, and among the ancient Germans – “lucky”.

Other sources interpret this name as “bright, clear”. There is also a version that the name Oleg has Slavic roots. Indirect confirmation of this: Oleg is one of the dynastic pre-Christian names of the Rurik family, which became baptismal after the canonization of Prince Oleg of Bryansk. With a paired name Olga, no less confusion, but it has long been considered a privilege of the nobility.

Diminutive forms: Olezhka, Olezhik, Olegushka, Olesya, Lesya, Leka, Lesha, Alya, Alik, Olechka, Olenka, Olgusha, Olgunya, Lusya, Olyusha, Olena, Lelya, Lyulya, Lyalya, Leka and so on.

12. Yan – Yana

These paired names have many versions of origin and interpretation. The most common: Yang is a derivative of Ivan, which, in turn, comes from the Hebrew name John (Yoan). In translation, it means “God’s mercy” or “God’s mercy. ”

Another popular version: the name Yang came from the name of the ancient Roman god of light and sun – Janus. You will rarely meet Yana or Yana in Russia, but in Poland, the Baltic countries and Scandinavia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Belarus, Ukraine and Germany, they are not at all uncommon.

In addition, in some of the listed countries there are also names formed from the name of Jan, for example, Janko, Janik, Jani, Janusz; Yana, Yanina, Ivanna, Zhanna (in the female version). So, if you are planning a “European future” for your heir, this name should not be discounted.

Diminutives: Janya, Yanik, Yanchi, Yanko, Yenik, Yanka, Yanochka, etc. Darius – Daria; Heinrich – Henrietta; John / Ivan – John; Zinovy ​​- Zinovia; Constantine – Constance; Pavel – Peacock; Seraphim – Seraphim, Simon – Simone. Which one to choose is up to you.

Identical female and male names: list

A person’s name is not just a combination of sounds, it carries a secret meaning. Our ancestors believed that by naming the baby by any name, they endowed him with certain character traits and even fate. We offer you to get acquainted with the variety of identical male and female names, find out the reasons for their appearance, consider the list in Russian and English, learn brief information from other languages.

Reasons for the appearance of

We know that there are names that can be called both boys and girls, for example, Alexander and Alexandra, Eugene and Eugenia, this phenomenon does not cause any surprise. But what is the reason for this coincidence? First of all, this is the tradition of naming children after Orthodox saints, which was firmly established in Russia after the adoption of Christianity. But since the saint is a specific person, a child of the same gender could be named in his honor. And the modification of a specific name helped to solve the problem.

The next factor that influenced the emergence of the same female and male names, the list of which will be presented below, is the unequal number of both in the Russian language. So, in the “Dictionary of Old Russian Proper Names” compiled by N.M. Tupikovs, there are more than 5 thousand male variants, while female ones – 50. In 1891, the month-word contained 900 male and slightly more than 200 female names. Such inequality made it necessary to take the male variation and transform it into a female one.

A lot of names appeared after the revolution, when a woman began to perform the same duties as a man. And the main source of such education was the male form. Hence, there is an almost complete coincidence (the key and often the only difference is the endings -а, -я in female variations, for example, Vladlen – Vladlena). As a result, the number of names for boys and girls in the language became almost equal.

Slavic variants

Let’s get acquainted with what names can be both female and male. First of all, this is an ancient layer that came to us from the Slavs. In these times, great importance was attached to the naming of a person, people believed that the name given to a newborn would largely determine his character, occupation and fate. Most often, paired names in ancient times were given to twins. For example, if two babies were born at once, they could well be called Borislav and Borislav, these ancient variants appeared in honor of the god of the winds, Boreas.

Here are some more examples.

There were also variants that completely coincided in sound, for example, Will – both a male and female name with the meaning of “free man”, Share – with the meaning of “fate”. Now they are almost out of use.

So, as we see, female names were formed among the Slavs by adding the endings -a to the male ones, sometimes the process went in the opposite direction, then the suffix -k was added to the female form.

When trade with the Greeks appeared in Russia, after the adoption of Christianity, new names came along with overseas goods – Alexander (Alexandra), Julius and Julia, Anastasia and Anastasius.

Soviet period

From the point of view of paired names and names in general, the time after the revolution and the period of Soviet power is very interesting. It was then that many options appeared, some of them are used to this day (and not all owners know the “secret” of their occurrence), while others cannot cause anything but a smile. Let’s get acquainted with Russian identical male and female names of the Soviet period. There are quite a few of them:

• Barricade and Barricade came from the common noun and are not used now.
• Vladilen and Vladilena, Wil and Vila, Vilen and Vilena, Vily and Vilya – from “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin” in various abbreviations of the name and use of initials.
• Vilor and Vilora originate from the slogan that sounds like “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin – Organizer of the Revolution.”
• Gertrude and Gertrude are the hero and heroine of labor, respectively. Interestingly, the Soviet version is in no way connected with the Western European Gertrude, an exclusively female name.
• Krasarma and Krasarma – a strange name for a modern person comes from the “Red Army”, as children were called in the 20-30s of the last century.
• Lemar and Lemara – from two surnames, Lenin and Marx. And vice versa, Marilene and Marilena are from two surnames Marx and Lenin.
• Lenin and Lenina (with an emphasis on the letter “i”), met in the 20-30s of the last century.
• Tractor and Tractorina. These variants became very popular in 1923, when the first tractor was produced by the Soviet industry.

Here are two more funny options – Oyushminald and Oyushminalda, Chelnaldin and Chelnaldina – respectively, O. Yu. Schmidt and Chelyuskin on an ice floe. Most of the variants of this period are gone.

Modern Russians

Let’s continue our acquaintance with paired names, in our time there are also quite a few of them. Their short list looks like this.

As you can see, most of the paired names have almost the same sound and meaning, only in some examples the subtleties of the meaning differ.

Foreign

Here are examples of the same male and female names in English. This is Alex and Alexa, Christian and Christina. The name Alex has several more female counterparts – Alexis, Alexia. Two names come from the male “Adam” at once – Addison – the son of Adam and Addison – the daughter of Adam, their spelling is somewhat different. More examples:

• Alan and Alanna – “beautiful” and “beautiful”.
• Bert and Berta – “bright, -th”. There is also a female version of “Bertie” with a similar meaning.
• Brandon and Brenda.
• Brook – the male and female versions are the same, the name means “brook”.
• Daniel and Daniella.
• Eric and Erica.
• Gabriel and Gabriella.
• George and Georgia.
• Kyle and Kylie.
• Michelle, both male and female.
• Nicholas and Nicole.
• Patrick and Patricia.

These are the same male and female English names.

Examples from other languages ​​

It is very interesting that paired names are found in so many languages ​​of the world. For example, in Spanish there are variants of Alejandra and Alejandro, Carla and Carlos, Andrea and Andres, Claudia and Claudio, Haun and Juanita.

In African countries, the names most often coincide, meaning the order or time of the birth of a child. For example:

• Baako – born (born) first.
• Dubaku is the 11th child in the family, both a girl and a boy.
• Idouu – who appeared (appeared) into the world after the twins.

There are a lot of paired names among the Yakuts, who attached great importance to observing the tradition of naming the baby. For example, Ayaan – a name that could be worn by both boys and girls, has the meaning of “journey”.

About the fate of a woman with a man’s name

Modern research has proven a strange fact – a woman whose name coincides with a man’s name or has its form most often achieves serious success in life. With what it is connected, while it is not clear. There is a hypothesis that male names are perceived more seriously by ear, therefore, such women have a completely different attitude, they are seen as strong, which on a subconscious level leaves its mark on their behavior. The greatest results await them in the legal sphere, politics.

These are the same male and female names, we made sure that their list is quite extensive.

Modern names for girls and boys and meanings

When a young family is expecting the birth of a child, the search for the most beautiful, unusual name for the baby begins. No wonder they say that the name has an impact on the fate of a person – as you call the ship, so it will float. Many parents tend to choose a rare, modern name for their crumbs in order to emphasize his personality. However, in this matter, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise you can complicate the life of an unborn child.

How to choose a beautiful modern name for a girl

The choice of a name for a girl depends on the imagination and personal preferences of the parents. They decide how to name their daughter: a Russian familiar name or a fancy foreign one. Most parents want to choose not only a modern, but also an original female name. What kind of girls you will not meet in schools and kindergartens: Mia, Jasmine, Jacqueline, Julia. Although your daughter will stand out from the crowd of children with classical names, such an exotic name is unlikely to be in harmony with the Russian surname and patronymic.

Modern girl names are not only modern foreign variants. Recently, it has again become fashionable to call girls with Orthodox and Old Russian names: Ermina, Praskovya, Efrosinya, Vasilisa. However, before christening the girl one of them, parents should consider whether in the future the diminutive versions of Vasya or Proshka will become a reason for ridicule of classmates.

It happens that girls who were given a modern unusual name by their parents were not ready for such attention from others. Often this causes the development of complexes in the child. If your family is expecting a new addition and you are wondering what name to choose for a girl, take into account the following recommendations:

• No matter how much you dislike some modern name, it must be consonant with the girl’s surname and patronymic. Agree, Ivanova Georgeta Nikolaevna is not the best option for a beloved child.
• Think about whether a girl will be happy with such a name or can she become a black sheep among her peers? The heroine of the cartoon is unlikely to be able to have adequate self-esteem in adolescence.
• Please note that the girl’s modern Russian name should be easy to pronounce. Katorina or Yolanda are likely to be pronounced correctly by others often.

List of modern Russian names

The most popular names in 2019 were Anastasia, Sofia and Maria. Moreover, they have been in the lead for several years now. When choosing a name for their unborn child, parents should not chase fashion alone – listen to your heart, which will definitely tell you how to christen the girl. Perhaps one of the modern or old Russian female names will be the most suitable:

• Ada.

For example, a winter girl can be christened Severina or Snezhana; autumn should be called Eve, Golden; summer – Augustina, Julia; spring – Martha, Maya. So, based on the month of birth, parents can easily choose the appropriate version of the modern name for their beloved daughter.

Choosing a fashionable modern name for a boy

The birth of a newborn is a grand event that many families are waiting for. The birth of a boy becomes a real joy, as the successor of the family name, the defender of the country, the future pride of the parents. A very important decision that mom and dad have to make is the choice of a name, because modern euphonious options do not always carry the right meaning.

Russians

In the times of Ancient Russia, boys were named based on Saints – a list of saints and their holidays in calendar order. Every day is dedicated to one of the Orthodox saints, whose name the boy was called. Modern parents can use the name book to choose a name for their child. However, it should be borne in mind that such unusual and old names as Zabulon or Svyatogor may not be understood by society. Before you somehow christen the boy, pay attention to the meaning of the option you like:

• Plato is broad-shouldered.
• Zakhar is a man with a good memory.
• Miron – happy, peaceful.
• Elisha – saved by God.
• Tikhon is a favorite of luck.

Modern foreign names

Often modern parents prefer foreign names, fascinated by their sound, but completely unaware of the meaning of their choice. Try on a foreign name for the surname and patronymic of the boy – it is not uncommon for a child to become the object of ridicule of peers due to the inattention of parents. If you liked some name, you can name the boy like that, but do not forget to ask about his translation. The following beautiful, modern boy names are popular:

• Ilnaz – love for the Motherland.
• Dinar – expensive, precious.
• Diaz – the Spanish version of Jacob (“following on the heels”).
• Rustem is a hero.
• Janis – given by God.

Monthly

Some parents believe that it is worth naming a child, given the time of year in which he was born. So, it is recommended that a winter boy be given a soft name, since this season is characterized by severity, and this should not be aggravated. Spring babies are called by modern parents with stronger names, because by nature they have a flexible character. Summer boys are cheerful and active, any names suit them. For autumn, it is worth choosing calm, bright, corresponding to the balanced character of the boys.

What male names are suitable for girls?

There are quite a lot of such names that can be called both a boy and a girl. I will give, for example, these names: Alexander and Alexandra (that’s my mother’s name), Vasily and Vasilisa, Eugene and Evgenia (our friends are husband and wife) , Valentine and Valentina, Victor and Victoria, Anton and Antonina, Julius and Julia, Julian and Juliana, Seraphim and Seraphim, Ruslan and Ruslana, Valery and Valeria, Ustin and Ustinya.

The most popular among both sexes is Sasha (Alexandra), in second place is Zhenya (Evgenia), for example, Valeria (Valery) or Victor (Victoria), also Valentin (Valentina), less popular Jan and Yana .

Zhenya. Eugene – Eugene. Valya. Valentine – Valentine. Sasha. Alexander – Alexandra.

well, as far as I know, both male and female names are: Alexander-Alexandra, Evgeny-Evgenia, Valery – Valeria, Valentin – Valentina, Victor – Victoria. earlier, in general, the name Anna was considered masculine, but now it will never occur to anyone) 0

Alexandra and Alexander are a traditional pair of names that suit both girls and boys. A very common name, as well as Evgenia and Evgeniy. You can, of course, time the names Valery and Valery here. Very beautiful, by the way a female name. Valentina, well, I would say that this is more of a female name than a male one. Although Valentinov men are also quite common. Recently very popular for girls Vasilisa. In short, respectively, Vasya. And, as you know, Vasya is also a male name.

Men’s names that are suitable for girls are, in my opinion: Eugene – Evgenia, Alexander – Alexandra, Valera – Valeria, Valentin – Valentina, Vasily – Vasilisa, Jan – Yana, Julius – Julia, Vladislav – Vladislav, Christina – Christian ( more foreign).

I don’t like such names, I just didn’t call my children that, but Valera herself with this name is Valeria and Valery Valentin and Valentina – Valya Alexandra and Alexander – Sasha Vasilisa and Vasily – Vasya Vladislava and Vladislav Yan and Yana Evgenia and Evgeny Miroslava and Miroslav Serafima and Seraphim

Vlad is a male name, and the female name is Vlada, Miroslav and Miroslava, Alexander (s), Evgeny (s), Vasily (s), Valery (s). Konstantin – Constant, Oleg – Olga, Jan (s), Julius (s). Tatar / Muslim options: Adele – Adela, Dinar – Dinara, Ali – Aliya, Ilsur – Ilsiyar, Ainur – Ainura, Samir – Samira, Amir – Amir, Amin – Amina, Farid – Farida, Nail – Nailya, Ruzil – Ruzil, Ramil – Ramil, Rail – Rail. As a rule in Tatar names, the stress is placed on the last syllable, of course, there are exceptions.

I like names that suit both boys and girls. For example, Eugene, Eugene. Or Alexander, Alexandra. Valentin and Valentina, Miroslav and Miroslava, Vasily and Vasilisa, Valery and Valeria, Simon and Simone.

Indeed, among the names there are many that suit both boys and girls. In order not to repeat the names that the authors indicated above, I will supplement them with those that have not yet been indicated, and these are: Stepan – Stepaniya (Stepanida), Fedor – Fedor, having Michelle universally the same for both boys and girls, Aurel – Aurelia, Stefan – Stephania, Christian – Christian.

There are names that suit both boys and girls – the so-called names are unisex. For example, such:

1. Valentine – Valentine.
2. Jan – Jan.
3. Vasily – Vasilisa.
4. Eugene – Evgenia.
5. Valentine – Valentine.
6. Julius – Julia.
7. Miroslav – Miroslava.
8. Vladislav – Vladislav.

Tips for choosing a name for your baby

So what name did you choose for your baby? This is not such an idle question as it seems at first glance. And yet we dare to give you some advice:

1. Do not take a name that is difficult to pronounce, as in the future it will create a lot of inconvenience for the one who is being addressed and the one who is addressing.
2. If you are expecting a girl, then consider the issue of making it easy to form an affectionate form from the name, for example: Alyonushka, Tanyusha, etc. sound patronymic.
3. Do not call girls names that start from a male name, and especially if you do not want your daughter to develop a male character. Alas, numerous observations give reason to believe that women with male names in life have a complex character, stubborn, domineering.

Our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers gave names, as a rule, by the name of the saint whose name was indicated in the calendar, which falls on the baby’s birthday, so some people celebrate both their name day (their angel day) and their birthday. For example, the baby was born on December 10th. This will be his birthday, and the name day, if you named him Vyacheslav, falls on October 10th.

Occult sciences believe that there is a certain connection between the names and signs of the Zodiac, and people who have the same sign of the Zodiac are very similar to each other.

When looking for a name, a mother-to-be should listen to her heart

Learn how to name a child, a boy and a girl

A person’s name affects his character. It carries a strong emotional and spiritual charge, sometimes playing a prophetic role in life. Giving a name to a child, we – consciously or not – program his fate and choose a certain life path. But thousands of people have the same names, but have completely different destinies. So it has a different effect on each individual? Yes, and there is nothing surprising in this. Then a completely logical question arises: “What is the correct name for the child?”

The secret of the correct name is that it should complement the natural qualities of a person, and not break the personality. The article will discuss how to name a child so that he is happy and successful. Parents will be able to find out what are the ways of naming, whether it is possible to call babies by the names of their ancestors, and also where the fashion for names comes from and whether it is worth following it.

Ways of naming

In the old days, babies were called by the names of animals or plants, the qualities of which parents wanted to be passed on to babies. So, the most popular among the ancient Slavs were the names Wolf, Falcon, Fox, Linden and so on.

With the spread of Christianity from Byzantium, an Orthodox name-book also came to us. Since then, the custom has spread to name children according to the holy calendar. But parents were also guided by the time of year when the baby was born. A suitable name was chosen as the closest in the church calendar to the date of birth or baptism, but taking into account the natural circumstances of birth.

So, if a baby was born in a harsh winter, they tried to give him a soft, melodic, melodious name. Naming the child, the parents wanted to soften the harsh qualities given to him by nature.

Spring babies are very delicate and shy, unable to stand up for themselves. They selected names that were supposed to add self-confidence and protect against various vicissitudes of fate.

Summer kids are active, purposeful, but they lack patience and endurance. The parents wanted to add these qualities to the baby with the help of a name.

Autumn children are very stubborn and capricious. They selected a name that could add softness in relations with people and purposefulness.

Our ancestors sometimes gave the baby the opportunity to choose a name for himself. They read aloud different options and watched the baby’s reaction. If he reacted excitedly, turned away or cried, then the name was rejected and continued to be listed further. If the child smiled, it was considered a good sign and so they called him.

Children were also named after the first person they met. According to the legends of our ancestors, it is believed that a child who is named after a stranger will be happy and successful in everything.

Modern scientists believe that you can choose any way to name a child, the main thing is to take into account the consonance of names. That is, at least one letter of the baby’s name must be repeated in the names of the parents. For example, Olga – Olesya – Oleg, Tatyana – Ulyana – Nazar and so on.

Is it possible to name a child after a grandmother, grandfather, father, mother

In ancient times, naming a child after a relative was considered a kind of family ritual that carried a huge energy, semantic and spiritual load. Together with the name, the baby received an emotional component in the form of the expectations of relatives, what he should be and who he should correspond to. This tradition of naming a child after a mother or father, grandparents has both pros and cons.

• Parents are guided by the example of their relative, his life path, achievements, but the child may not inherit the best features.
• All the characteristics of the personality that this name will bring will fall on his own character, while strengthening or breaking it. Therefore, the child who the parents would like to see does not always grow out of the child.
• The influence of a relative’s name is an additional requirement that the environment places on the baby. He is obliged by all means to be like his father or grandfather. Therefore, the child does not have the opportunity for personal development, and as a result, as a rule, it is more difficult for him to realize himself in life.
• Such names energetically put pressure on the baby, forcing him to be the same as the relative, after whom he was named. Such names do not allow the development of their own individuality and personality.

Advantages:

• The child is energetically protected from all the troubles of his relatives, he feels like a part of a large family.
• Such children grow up brave and courageous, responsible and decent.
• From birth, a model of a family and strong family relationships is formed, and when a child grows up, he will create his own family based on this example.

Orthodox tradition

With the spread of Christianity, a tradition came to us to name babies after the saint on whose day they were born. It is believed that the heavenly patron will protect the baby and ask for a happy fate for him, will help him in good deeds, protect him from evil thoughts.

Why do some people have to live under two names?

People with the same names have common character traits. For example, Alexanders are powerful and demanding women, they are straightforward, impulsive, principled. Names form certain character traits in people, but they affect everyone in different ways. One and the same name is beneficial to someone, and harmful to someone.

There are a huge number of sites on the Internet where you can read about the meaning of a particular name and its influence on a person’s fate. But how to name a child so that he is happy and successful? How to give a child a name that will match his personality?

Intuition plays a significant role in this complex process. In addition, many parents come up with what name to name the child, long before his birth. But the baby is born, and he has nothing in common with Philip or Arthur, but he is the spitting image of Semyon or Andrey. And a situation arises when a person has one name in his passport, but in life and at home he is called another. For example, the singer Anzhelika Varum on the passport Maria; TV presenter Nika Strizhak is Veronica, singer Valeria is actually Alla.

Where does the fashion for names come from?

Each generation has its own fashionable names. Knowing the name of a person, you can roughly determine how old he is. For example, Zinaida Zakharovna is probably a pensioner, Lyudmila Alexandrovna is most likely a 40-50-year-old lady, and Artem, Nastya, Liza and Maxim are representatives of the younger generation.

In addition, knowing only one name, we have a rough idea of ​​the nationality, origin and religion of its bearer.

Recently, there has been such a trend as adherence to old names. Parents of girls are especially sensitive to the problem of how beautifully to name a child. They are often given original Russian names: Love, Hope, Vera. Names of ancient Roman and Greek origin also became popular: Pelageya, Avdotya, Aksinya, Vasilina, Uliana, Varvara, Arina. Parents also think about how to name a boy’s child, but they mainly choose either old names or those associated with national tradition. Popular names: Gleb, Zakhar, Timofey, Matvey, Bogdan, Luka, Akim. And in Tatarstan and Bashkiria, for example, the most fashionable are: Amir, Artur, Timur, Tagir.

Why does each generation develop its own fashion for names? This is due to the situation in society, the events and aspirations of a particular generation. For example, now the views of many young people are directed to the West, so many Daniels, Monique, Caroline, Stephanie, Sebastian, Christine have appeared. But at the same time, our national self-consciousness is very developed, therefore, along with such foreign names, primordially Slavic ones are also common: Vasilisa, Antip, and so on.

Certain rules

Scientists believe that there are certain rules on how not to name a child.

• First, the name must be combined with the patronymic and surname. Foreign names with our native Russian surnames sound ridiculous and ridiculous. For example, Semenova Karolina Ivanovna.
• Second, be individual. In some families, it is believed that naming a child in honor of a deceased relative is, to some extent, to revive the memory of him. Here it is very important to pay attention to what his fate was, since there is a belief that it is transmitted along with the name. In any case, it’s not worth the risk, because we are talking about the life and happiness of the baby. Moreover, it is not worth giving names in honor of the tragically dead people.

We have a tradition of naming our sons after their father. This is also not the best option. Firstly, in combination with a patronymic, this sounds very cumbersome, and secondly, the influence of the father and his fate on the child will increase even more.

• Thirdly, the name must be consistent with our naming tradition. Psychologists believe that double names are also a bad choice. True, it is worth noting that in European countries this is a very common phenomenon. In our country, experts convince parents not to name their children that way, since the likelihood of a split personality, inconsistency of character in such people increases several times. In addition, they doubt almost everything all their lives.

And very rare are Vladimir, Nikolai, Peter. Biblical names are also fashionable: Adam, Nahum, Paul, Daniel, Michael, Elijah.

Exotic names

When a baby is born, parents face the difficult task of naming the child. Quite common is the tradition of giving rare or exotic names. With this, adults strive to emphasize the uniqueness and individuality of the baby. For example, Onarada, Millian, Zlata, Averyan. How can you name a child in an original way, but at the same time not create problems for him with peers? Here are some recommendations:

• It is desirable that the name form abbreviated forms. The absence and impossibility of such a modification can make it difficult to communicate with friends. For example, Robert, Marat, Spartak – these names do not form such forms. They are very massive and solemn.
• The name should not be too exotic, otherwise the child will become a “black sheep” in society, will be shy and complex.

Psychologist’s recommendations on naming

Whatever you name your child, the name should not be a burden to the child himself. Unsuccessful, exotic and unusual, it can cause ridicule from peers, and subsequently develop complexes. You should not name the child in honor of the ancient Greek or ancient Roman philosophers. For example, the name Plutarch is very easy to turn into a nickname, and the child himself will feel at ease.

When naming, remember that:

• It must form abbreviated forms. For example, Svetlana – Svetochka – Sveta – Lana.
• When choosing a name for a boy, you should keep in mind that it should be combined with a patronymic and easily form it.
• Do not get carried away with unusual, extraordinary names. Scientists believe that people with strange names are 4 times more prone to mental complexes than everyone else. A child with this name causes ridicule, and he is forced to fight all the time for a normal, correct attitude towards himself.

It should be remembered that at the moment when the question of how to name a child (boy or girl) is being decided, his future fate and direction in life are also being decided. The name is the first word that a person utters when meeting and thanks to which it remains in the memory of other people for a long time.

Modern names

Names for girls Names for boys What names can be considered modern? The ones that are most common now? The ones that are popular with parents of newborns? The ones that came out recently? Of course, all three statements will be correct, and parents choosing a name for their child usually understand what they want. Modern Russian names represent a large and diverse set, which has increased especially strongly over the past hundred years: Christian names have been in the lead for many years. The most famous names from this list are Maria, Anna, Anastasia, Alexander, Maxim, Ekaterina, Sofia. Orthodox names that were in use before the events of 1917, after which there was also a revolution in naming – Trofim, Matvey, Evdokia, Seraphim. European names, more commonly used among Catholics, but now recognized among the Russian population – Diana, Eva, Angelina, Albert, Daniel, Herman. Slavic names – Vladimir, Yaroslav, Milana, Yesenia, Arina. In the category of modern names, one could also add a large number of rare names, interest in which is now being revived. An increasing number of parents are trying to find for their child not a widespread name, and at the same time not quite the rarest, but one that everyone would know and understand, but would rarely meet in their lives. An example of such names can be Praskovya, Khariton, Tryphon. You also need to understand that each nation has its own concept of modernity, and in Russia there are many people of different nationalities with different religions. Each nation has its own traditions and preferences, so it is impossible for everyone to make a single list. Popular names Modern Russian names Beautiful modern names Everyone has a different idea of ​​what can be called a delicious dish, and opinions about which of the names can be called beautiful also differ. But still there is one feature that is steadily traced among different peoples and at different times: beautiful female names are most often called those that sound melodious and gentle, in which there are few sharp sounds, they are melodious. But beautiful modern male names are the exact opposite of female ones, for the most part they are sonorous, clear, a little harsh. But there are exceptions that find their admirers. For example, the male names Liam or William are quite popular at the moment, but they sound softer than Mark or Geoffrey, who are also of interest. At the same time, people of different nationalities can live in one country, take at least Russia, so there can be no consensus on which names can be called both modern and beautiful at the same time. Beautiful names Modern girl names (female) The greatest variety can be found among female names. These can be the names of flowers (Lily and Dahlia), natural phenomena (Ainur, Eliana and Zarina), character traits (Catherine and Maria), government positions (Carolina) and more. The most popular modern female name is Maria. Like the name Elena, it has a large number of analogues in different countries and has retained its relevance for several centuries. And vice versa, the name Emma is actively gaining fans around the world, which was once not considered a full-fledged name, but was used only as a short form of other female names. You can choose a name for a girl both modern and non-traditional, but it is worth remembering that a girl is more reverent than a young man, she treats not only her appearance, but also her name. Too pretentious, unusual name can become a problem for her – this is how one of the site visitors described her feelings.

In this century, the parents of boys have a wider choice of names than even fifty years ago. So many modern names have different pronunciations, spellings, each of which carries its own message and adds something unique to the name. Here is an example of name transformation – Maximus, Maxim, and then Max. Each of the names is used in modern times, they are all variations of the same name, but each time has its own preferences, in everyday life only what is most in demand remains. Alexander (among Muslims Iskander) is one of the longest-lived male names. The international name David has also been heard in various countries, regardless of religion, for many centuries in a row. And Mohammed or Mohammed is not only the most popular name in most Muslim countries, but is also considered the most common male name in general on the planet.

Therefore, these peoples have a lot of the same and similar names that they call their children. Muslims also live in other countries, so national traditions affect the list of names. Many Russian Muslims call their children not traditional Muslim names, but European or Russian names. Tatars actively use such names as Alina, Marat, Albert, Arthur, Sofia, Alice. Also among the Tatars and Bashkirs you can easily meet Alexei, Alexander, Artyom or Cyril.

Boys’ Names Girls’ Names Different names have been popular in society at different times. What influences the popularity of a given name? Historical era is of paramount importance when choosing a name, although many parents neglect this factor and call their children as original or even pretentious as possible. Tradition affects the popularity of the name. The more traditional society, the less extensive the list of names that can be called a baby. Any events and upheavals in the world can affect the popularity of the name. The most striking example of the 20th century can be the name Adolf. After 19For 40 years, the popularity of this name has declined sharply, many Adolf men even changed their name, and according to Swedish statistics, no more than 10 boys a year are called this name, from 1998 to the present. Fashion for certain names can change the established ratings. Old, forgotten names are being revived and become widely used again. Some of these names were given a new interpretation (Kim, Damir), and some names were phonetically transformed into modern language. Dorothea became Dorothy and Dora, the name Matthew was transformed into Matthew. New names are invented, in the spirit of their time. This is how names appeared in Soviet society, which for the most part did not leave a trace in naming, but some of the names continue to live and are in some demand (Kazbek, Kim). The names Svetlana and Stella were quite popular in some periods of the 20th century, although they were coined back in the 16th-19th centuries. Currently, preference is given to short names, and longer rooted names are abbreviated and give new full names (Apollinaria – Polina, Evelina – Evita, Richard – Dick). But interest in traditional long names does not fade, and such names as Alexander and Elizabeth will not leave the rating of popular names very soon. Names that are easy to pronounce for most people are also becoming popular, more often European names. Some Chinese parents use a special service in choosing a popular European name for their child. Many people take a common local name for themselves while studying or working in another country, especially in cases where the native name is difficult for the local population to pronounce. Do not forget that the religious factor also affects the popularity of the name. Catholics or Orthodox have their own preferences, as well as Muslims and Jews. What is popular with some will be extremely rare with others. Beautiful names Popular names for boys In the USSR, at the dawn of communism, children received rather strange names – Tractor, Revolution, Drezina or Oktyabrina. But not only in this country they creatively approached the choice of a name for a child. According to statistics, the United States outperforms most other states in this matter. American citizens are adherents of unusual names. At the end of the 20th century, it was fashionable among the inhabitants of the United States to name newborns Charisma, King, Lenin or Eros. And in 2008, 700 children with the name Messiah were born in the United States. In America, there is a constant collection and analysis of naming data. This statistic provides insight into a number of interesting details among popular names. The Great Depression led to a change in positions in the ranking of names. Until the 1930s, male names Donald and Robert were popular in the country, while female names were Shirley, Barbara and Betty. Now the boys are increasingly called Michael and David. These names reflected the purposefulness, concreteness and confidence of their owners. It was these qualities that people needed in difficult times. The popularity of male names is less dynamic than that of female names. Among female names, more variations and options appear, while boys prefer to be called established, time-tested names. Parents in choosing a name for a boy prefer conservative, traditional names. Russians Alexander, Alexey, Andrey, Artem, Victor, Daniil, Dmitry, Egor, Ilya, Kirill, Maxim, Mark, Mikhail, Roman, Stepan, Timofey, Yaroslav American English Alexander, Benjamin, Jadan, Jacob, James, Jack, Ethan, Liam, Logan, Lucas, Mason, Matthew, Noah, Oliver, Owen, Ryan, Elia Alexander, William, Jadan, Jacob, Jackson, Diego, Dylan, David, Daniel, Ethan, Liam, Louis, Michael, Noi, Sebastian, Adrian, Eliya , Arseny, Artem, Artur, Damir, Danil, Yegor, Ilya, Kamil, Karim, Kirill, Maxim, Marat, Radmir, Renat, Roman, Rustam, Samir, Timur Tatar Choosing a name for a boy Popular names for girls After 1930, other sounding names came to replace the USA. Fame acquired the name Linda. It, according to many, had a more energetic and serious color. But, unlike the names of boys, the top lines of the ranking of English and American female names are almost the same names. In the USSR, the 1930s also became a turning point in the choice of names. So Claudia gave way to Galina, the names of Thekla, Matryona almost completely disappeared from use. They were replaced by the names Svetlana, Raisa, Tatyana, Nadezhda, Lyudmila. But by the 21st century, these names have lost their positions and have given way to such names as Catherine, Anastasia, Anna, Maria, which were popular before the revolution 1917 years old. Therefore, we can talk about some cyclicality in society when choosing a name and its popularity. Russians Alexandra, Alisa, Anastasia, Anna, Arina, Valeria, Varvara, Veronika, Victoria, Daria, Eva, Ekaterina, Elizaveta, Kira, Margarita, Maria, Polina, Sofia, Taisia, Uliana English Abigail, Ava, Amelia, Aria, Grace, Zoe, Isabella, Lily, Madison, Mia, Nora, Aubrey, Audrey, Olivia, Scarlet, Sofia, Harper, Chloe, Charlotte, Evelyn, Emily , Emma American Abigail, Ava, Amelia, Anna, Victoria, Grace, Isabella, Madison, Mia, Natalie, Olivia, Penelope, Sofia, Harper, Chloe, Charlotte, Evelyn, Elizabeth, Avery, , Emily, Emma Tatar Azalea, Alice, Alfiya, Amelia, Amina, Arina, Asiya, Valeria, Victoria, Gulnaz, Darina, Zarina, Mariyam, Milana, Samira, Sofia, Polina , Regina, Elvira, Yasmina Choosing a name for a girl The most popular names The statistics of names allows you to see among the numbers which names are now becoming the past and which will be our future. The years of the Great Depression in the USA and the 1990s in the USSR provide a clear picture of these changes. When people have nothing to lose, they strive to emphasize the individuality of their child, invest a new life in it, give it the feeling that it is he who is the future. One of the easiest ways to emphasize this uniqueness is to give the child an unusual or rare name that would make him stand out from the others. In situations where the country is in a certain political calm, when there are no large-scale upheavals affecting the life of every inhabitant, when people feel safe, and everything is stable, in these cases, the parents adhere to the traditional names established in this society. By the diversity of names one can judge the freedom in the country, over the past century the number of used names in developed countries has increased. Consequently, people began to feel more free and relaxed. For example, in America today there is not one name that prevails over others. At the beginning of the 20th century, only 5-6% of the country’s population had the most common names, and by the 90s, new names quickly replaced the traditional ones, and at present the scatter of names in the United States is quite chaotic. All of these data point to the development of a high level of individualism in the United States. In Russia, preference is given to traditional names. The leaders are Anna, Alexander, Maria, Maxim, Anastasia, Ekaterina. For example, the name Daria, which in 2015 ranked 9place in the ranking of names, in 1909 it occupied only 40th place. The name Dmitry, which occupied 35th place at the beginning of the 20th century, entered the top ten since the late 80s and has remained there to this day. But this country has not escaped the fashion for names. After the flight of the first man into space in 1961, many Yurievs were born in the USSR. And in 1979, after the appearance of the film “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears”, the rarely seen name of Alexander moved from 53rd to 44th place in the ranking by 1980, and in 1995 broke into the top ten female names.

The names Alexander, Maria, Dmitry, Anastasia and Ekaterina begin to prevail. This indicates that individualism is inherent in Russian society to a lesser extent, and our compatriots are more attentive to social values. You can also observe how foreign, borrowed names, most often used in Europe among Catholics, enter the category of popular Russian names. For some of these names, you can find a mention in the Orthodox calendar, but not for all (Christina, Angelina). So more and more often you can hear the names Eva, Emily, Diana, Adam, which were not traditional for the Russian people. Interest in Slavic names, which appeared in Russia at the end of the 20th century, has decreased, but many previously rare names are gaining popularity (Zlata, Zarina, Darina, Bogdan). At the same time, some Slavic names have not left the top 30 most popular names over the past 10 years (Yaroslav, Vladislav, Vladimir, Gleb). Until the end of the 19th century in Russia, there was not much diversity in the variants of the name, since all the names were chosen either from Orthodox calendars, or on a succession basis – the names of grandfather, grandmother, parents. A special variety of names in Russian culture appeared precisely in the twentieth century. Below are some statistics for different periods of the twentieth century. 1900-1930s Alexander, Alexandra, Anastasia, Anna, Antonina, Vasily, Vera, Vladimir, Ekaterina, Evdokia, Zinaida, Zoya, Ivan, Claudia, Maria, Mikhail, Nikolai, Nina, Pelageya , Praskovya 1930-1960s Alexander, Anatoly, Boris, Valentina, Victor, Vladimir, Vyacheslav, Galina, Gennady, Leonid, Lydia, Lyubov, Lyudmila, Nadezhda, Raisa, Nikolay, Nina , Svetlana, Tamara, Tatiana, Timur, Yuri 1960-1990s Alexander, Alexey, Andrey, Anna, Dmitry, Elena, Igor, Irina, Larisa, Marina, Natalya, Oksana, Oleg, Olga, Pavel, Roman, Svetlana, Sergey , Tatyana, Julia 1990-2000 Alexander, Alexey, Anastasia, Anna, Artem, Victoria, Vladislav, Daniil, Daria, Dmitry, Ekaterina, Elizabeth, Ivan, Mikhail, Maria, Maria , Natalia, Nikita, Pavel, Polina, Sergey, Julia Rare names Interesting about the names The nearest names April 18 George Zenon Mark Mark Pedro Fedor 19 April 19 Grigory Jeremy (Jeremiah) Yeremey Pavel Pavel Platonida Sevastya Yakov April April April April Danil Evdokia Inessa Pyotr Richard Teona April 21 Anastasy Anton Ivan Isaakiy Konrad Luka Osip (Joseph) Rodion Selma Yakov April 22 Agapit Azat Vadim Gavriil Joseph Luca Lucius Name day calendar

Rare and unusual names

Names for girls Names for boys come to an agreement even a month after the birth of the baby. Being distracted by many everyday problems, it is sometimes very difficult for a husband and wife to agree, because everyone has their own preferences and their own vision on this issue. And here are relatives, friends, and just acquaintances begin to offer their options. Fashion dictates, television promotes, how to choose? It is clear that every parent wants their child to have a happy life. Considering that the name of a newborn can determine his future fate, contribute to success in his personal life and career, parents often see his future in the name of the baby – and sometimes they choose a rare rather than a common name for their baby. Why? It is believed that it will help the child develop certain qualities – for example, independence. They strive to distinguish their child from other children in advance. They follow family traditions where the names of grandparents are passed down from generation to generation. Based on these prerequisites, it is possible to determine where rare names come from. The most obvious is the “well-forgotten old”. In everyday life there are names that were called children many years, and sometimes centuries, ago. In Russia, old Slavic names are again heard – Bogdan, Miroslava, Tayana. There are very creative and progressive parents who come up with names themselves. This is how the name Svetlana appeared, although it was invented for the character, and not for her own child. And the name Stella was coined for a cycle of sonnets. Sometimes adults try to keep in memory some events that are important to them. This is how completely unusual names are also born, many of which later become unviable, but some of these names continue to exist – for example, Kazbek, Damir or Kim. This desire to record various historical events, places, remember and perpetuate some great personalities. To a greater extent, the Soviet names that have appeared reflect this trend, and they can be called rare (Radiy, Zarya, Vladlen, Astra). You can also consider as rare names those foreign, borrowed names that are not accepted in everyday life in a particular country. At the same time, most of the Christian names are somehow duplicated both in Catholicism and in Orthodoxy (Martha – Martha, Christian – Christina). But some foreign names can still be called rare – Emma, ​​Madeleine, Monica, Laura. Rare names for girls Giving their daughter a rare name, parents first of all try to highlight and emphasize some specific features of the newborn, which, as parents are sure, their daughter will definitely have. Most often these are beautiful, sonorous, melodious names. Different nationalities have their own list of rare female names. It has recently become fashionable in Russia to give children Old Church Slavonic names. For example, it became possible to personally get acquainted with Zabava or Bozena, although such names are still considered rare. And it will be pleasant for believers to meet such beautiful names in girls as Seraphim, Pelageya or Evdokia. Russians Avdotya, Anisya, Victorina, Vladana, Domnica, Zoryana, Iskra, Iya, Makariy, Platonida, Praskovya, Rusalina, Tayana, Ustinya, Tsvetana, Yunia, Yarina Zemfira, Ilzira, Iluza, Mavluda, Mavile, Nomina, Nuria, Perizat, Razilya, Sazhida, Safura, Sevara, Fazilya, Fariza, Hadia, Shakira, Shakhina, Enzhe Choosing a name for a girl Red3 names for boys The name of the baby is chosen based on a certain idea. These can be names according to the sign of the zodiac, mythical, biblical, foreign or new names. Some of the previously rare names are becoming popular at the present time, their former interest is returning to them. Some common names are transformed, acquiring new spellings and sounds, thus a new, beautiful, rare name appears. 3 Catholic Russians Anfim, Borislav, Gerasim, Danislav, Evdokim, Emelyan, Yeremey, Ignat, Makar, Nikola, Osip, Ostap, Potap, Radiy, Radoslav, Sidor, Fedot9, Frol, Khariton 2 2 Orthodox Agap, Anastassy, ​​Vincent, Gerasim, Evdokim, Ephraim, Heraclius, Isaac, Zenon, Zinovy, Lavrenty, Lukyan, Macarius, Nicodemus, Orest, Pahom, Ustin, Fedot, Foma August, Bernard, Blaise, Gaspard, Guido, Gustav, Donat, Conrad, Cornelius, Laurens, Marcellus, Noel, Perry, Raymond, Roland, Timon, Ferdinand, Caesar, Hercule Almaz, Anar, Bagram, Gayaz, Davlat, Dalil, Zakir, Zaur, Zufar, Imran, Iskander, Qasim, Mansur, Mukhtar, Nadir, Razil, Samat, Tagir, Tamaz, Fazil, Farid, Yunus The obvious goal of parents who choose a rare name for their child is to distinguish him from the rest, there is also a hidden one. Parents try in this way to teach from an early age to be independent and independent. After all, starting from the first days of the baby’s life, those around him begin to ask again, clarify, be surprised at the name he heard, and the child cannot help but notice this. But not all children can bear this burden, and not all, even adults, who have such rare names, are ready to carry it on. Such a selection leaves an imprint on the inner world of a person. It can influence his behavior, make him closed, touchy, or, conversely, arrogant and aggressive. Many, upon reaching adulthood, change their name to a more common one. But it also happens that it is his rare name that helps a person, and for now a child, to overcome obstacles, hold his head high and achieve his goals. But still, maybe future parents should think about choosing one of the more familiar and popular names for their child?

unisex names | Nameberry

Unisex names, names used for both girls and boys, are a growing category in the English speaking world, especially in the US. There are several unisex baby names for each gender in the US top 100, and unisex names from a wide variety of nationalities are added to the lexicon every day.

Unisex names may be recognized as names traditionally used for both sexes, but they may also be first-name surnames, natural names of all types, place names, word names such as Judgment, and fictitious names or spellings.

Nameberry classifies gender-neutral names, generally as names given to at least 10 percent of minority genders. Browse and search different types of androgynous baby names below. This page is your starting point for everything related to unisex names and their meaning.

The Rise of Androgynous and Unisex Names

Poet Rachel Rostad once wrote in “Names”: “ When you name your daughter , this is a prayer for whatever you want it to be. “So a name is not just a name, it carries all your hopes and dreams for your girl.

For example, your daughter’s name Bella means that you hope that one day your daughter will live up to her name, which means “beautiful”. By choosing the name of a popular character such as Leia or Hermione, you are expressing your desire for her to grow up just like them – strong, smart and confident.

Today we will talk about the names of epicenes. Epicene names do not have a strict gender distinction; they can work for both men and women. Giving your child a gender-neutral name means telling your child: “ I will give you the opportunity to explore your gender identity in the future, no matter what you decide. ”

Increasing gender equality and gender variability has made epic names much more common today as parents try to place fewer gender restrictions and expectations on their children than they used to. Using boy names that are also cute for a girl is just one way to do this; you can also let them wear both men’s and women’s clothes, or let them play with both men’s and women’s toys.

And as a parent, this is one of the best gifts you can give your children—the freedom to be themselves, your unconditional love and support regardless of their identity, and respect for the decisions they make about their identity. .

Giving unisex names is more popular with girls than with boys—in 1998, almost a quarter of the top 100 girl names were unisex names, while only 16 of the most popular names given to boys were unisex names. However, as you can see from the following list, there wasn’t much of a crossover between boys and girls, at least when it comes to the names at the top of the charts.

924 924 of the currently popular unisex names. Or, as in the case of Leslie and Ashley, they have become strongly identified with one gender over the other, and their unisex qualities disappear. But there are still many names, even in this small pool, that can still transition to another gender, and many more are just waiting to be added to the list.

Today’s Hit Parade

Name Rejection

A good way to gauge the trendiness of a unisex name is to look at the names on the most popular lists for both genders. name, and it can quickly go out of fashion.

While there really is no such thing as a classic when it comes to unisex names, there are still many that have become so popular that they come close to this level of achievement:

• Adrian: You can write it Adrienne or Adriana for a girl.
• Aubrey: I think this old French name (which means “ruler of the elves” in the first place) is poised to make a comeback as it’s more used for girls. It’s relatively uncommon these days for both sexes, but I predict that in the next few years it will become more popular – especially among boys.
• Bailey: this French occupational name means “jailer” or “law enforcement officer”. Female character in TV show WKRP and the male character most recently introduced in Party of Five have greatly helped the name’s popularity over the years.
• Blaine: Does the rain in Spain stay mostly on Blaine? Blaine is Scottish for “plain” or “plain.” “It’s more of a boy thing, but it has a touch that parents love for girls too.
• Blair: Similar to Blaine in meaning and similar to Blaine in attractiveness.
• Cameron: A strong male name for a long time. The rise to fame of actress Cameron Diaz also propels the name to the top of the female charts.
• Cassidy: Kathie Lee Gifford, daytime TV fashion arbiter, put this name square at the center of unisex lists when she used it on her girl.
• Chandler: We have a popular TV show called Friends to thank. It’s definitely on the hit parade for both genders, but can turn out to be quite trendy.
• Dylan: Paying homage to Bob D., this name is very popular with girls and boys alike.
• Evan: This Welsh form of John is more commonly used for boys, but is also used for girls, and has been for some time.
• Jessie: One of those names that never makes it to the top of the most popular lists, but still a good unisex name. More popular with boys these days.
• Jordan: Popular with both boys and girls, with little favoritism for either gender, although this name is currently stronger for boys.
• Kelsey: It’s stronger for girls now than for boys, and it may end up with a stronger female identity in general, but there’s still the Kelsey Grammar actor to balance things out. If his show stays popular, there will likely be more little boy Kelsey running around.
• Logan: popular with both genders, although the boys run a little harder at the moment.
• Mackenzie: It’s very, very popular with girls right now. It can be so strongly associated with the list of girls that it will have to be removed from the unisex list. However, Mac is a great house name for a boy.
• Sean: This one is a bit rarer than the others, but it’s still used enough to hit the charts. Probably more popular with boys than girls.
• Shelby: I must think the name owes its popularity to the character that Julia Roberts played in Steel Magnolias , but I know two men named Shelby who are much older than her, so this is clearly one of those unisex. names with aging. This really works equally well for both boys and girls. This name will live long and prosper.
• Taylor: One of my best friends is named Taylor and he is the grandfather of an adorable little girl also named Taylor. Nuff said, “This is a great name for both genders and another unisex classic.

How to choose a name for boys and girls

It is known that a lot depends on how a boy or a girl is called. There are traditional names, and there are new ones, unusual for our ear. Often you can find cases when a child has not only an unusual, but also a dissonant name. What are his sufferings worth afterwards, for example, at school!

It follows that the choice of a name is an extremely important procedure, which, unfortunately, many parents simply ignore. And absolutely in vain. Let’s look at how to choose the right name for a boy or girl so that they are happy.

• Consider also the baby’s middle name

The name sounds different

Since childhood, we hear the sounds of our name most often. And so – throughout life. It turns out that this is the most pleasant sound for us, and it was chosen by the parents. This word consists of certain sounds, of different frequencies, which excite certain areas in the brain. Here are some sound differences to consider before choosing a name.

1. “Solid”. These are, for example, Daria, Ekaterina, Igor, Dmitry, Peter and others. Under the influence of a solid sound stimulus, an appropriate character is formed in children.
2. Neutral – Zoya, Lyudmila, Pavel, Artem (Artemy), Olga, Anna, Valery, Denis and others. Such people are often persistent and reasonable.
3. Soft – Svetlana, Sergey, Alexei, Vasily, Vera, Mikhail, etc. Such people are primarily distinguished by a soft and flexible character.

Pay attention to the fact that the chosen name is easy to pronounce, otherwise it will bring a lot of problems for such a person. It is not necessary to name the children after the names of the dead relatives – this can bring them many problems. This applies to both girls and boys. Also, do not name a girl after her grandmother, and a boy after her grandfather, otherwise they will acquire some bad character traits “as a gift”.

Also consider the baby’s patronymic

It is necessary that the person’s name is combined with the patronymic. And here it is necessary to make the right choice. First of all, it is not necessary that the name ends with a consonant, and the patronymic also begins with a consonant. In this case, the patronymic will be distorted. And the person will anxiously expect what they will call him this time.

If the patronymic sounds “hard”, that is, it is formed from their “hard” name, then the name must be soft, and vice versa. This choice is also associated with the so-called “new” names. So, in one city, the mother named the boy Dawn. Imagine how this will now be combined with a patronymic, and how a teenager will feel, say, at school.

Tips on how to name a boy successfully

Thinking about how to choose a name for a boy, you need to be very careful so that it helps to form positive character traits. So the boy will grow up as a bold successor of the family, the protector of the family.

Before choosing the most important word for a boy, you must remember that he will also be a father in the future. So, it is necessary to choose it so that later a beautiful middle name can be formed from it. When choosing an atypical name, remember how it will sound if you form a derivative from it. Otherwise, then Ivan Karlosovich will sound very strange and unnatural.

Before choosing a boy’s name, please note that it is undesirable to name boys after their father. This is not entirely easy to pronounce, and the child will be unbalanced, capricious from this. Sometimes a child can inherit some negative character traits and even a bad fate.

Remember not to give a boy a female-male name. If the surname turns out to be indeclinable, this can bring certain problems to an adult. Of course, we don’t even know about them. Keep in mind how it will sound in a diminutive form, since this is also important.

And of course, learn all about the etymology of the word you want to name the baby. Often it can have a meaning that we did not even know. So, many believe that Maria is of native Russian origin, just like Ivan. But all these names are actually Jewish.

Tips on how to successfully name a girl

First of all, do not rush and pick up the first successful option, immediately go to the registry office for registration. After all, there are a large number of the most unusual female names, and not one mother will be tempted to choose it for her daughter. Yes, you can go on about fashion and name the girl the way, say, a dozen of your friends do. But think about it: will this girl feel happy?

Think, for example, what will happen in fourteen or fifteen years if you name a girl Musetta. That’s right, she will contact the registry office for a “rename”. And of course, she will face a lot of personal problems.

Consult a dictionary or reference book to find out how to choose a name. Indeed, advice is often given in literature in order to name the girl in the most harmonious way. You also don’t need to call her the name of a famous person: in a few years they will forget about her, but the girl will be very uncomfortable.

General tips for difficult choices

Here are the most general tips to help you name your son or daughter the best.

1. Conduct a kind of “fitting” of the name. Think about how the other person would like it.
2. Ask the stranger to say it out loud several times. After all, a person will also be addressed aloud, and not otherwise. If outsiders pronounce the name wrong, then your choice is not so good.
3. Remember what people (maybe celebrities) have the same name.
4. Consider the baby’s middle name.
5. Avoid rare and unfortunate names, so as not to spoil life later and not create problems for children.
6. If you want to name your son or daughter “too nice”, then know that this draws too much attention.
