Female and male Slavic names

Pregnant women have many different concerns. In addition to the fact that they are obliged to closely monitor their health and the state of the body, future mothers should also choose the name of the baby. And it's not so easy to do it, as it seems at first glance.

What to consider?

You can choose a name for the kid by various criteria. Today, there is nothing strange and surprising in that children are called even the most unusual names, and this is not condemned. First of all, everything depends on what the parents themselves like. But, when choosing how to name a child, you should think about how the name will sound along with the surname and patronymic. And, of course, you can choose nicknames as the usual rumors - domestic, Slavic, and foreign, which are usually called "exotic."

A bit of history

Considering female or male Slavic names, you should remember that the history of the people began long before the adoption of Christianity in Russia. Thus, most of the Old Slavonic names were banned during baptism, because they were partially or completely composed of the names of pagan deities. An example may be such nicknames as Lada or Yarilo, which corresponded to certain gods. Also in Russia it was customary to give names to children who consisted of two words - Lubomyr, Yaropolk, Vladislav. Today, such nicknames, which were considered ordinary in pre-Christian times, can be called exotic, strange, although this is not so. Therefore, some parents try to change the situation and revive the female and male Slavic names, calling them their children.

What to do?

Often, choosing how to name their child, parents share their conjectures with relatives. Having said, as you want to call a baby, mom and dad can often hear criticism about themselves, consisting of about the following phrases: "Do not spoil the life of a child with this name!", "You have nothing to do, call the karapuza normal!", Etc. It is also possible to cope with this situation. Everyone knows that a child can have two names - one worldly, another - given at baptism and known to a small circle of people. Here you can take into account your wishes and preferences of relatives. In addition, by selecting women's and men's Slavic names, you can get into a situation where the church simply does not provide an appropriate nickname by the name of the saint. Here is another useful, ecclesiastical name, which the father will call his child.

Selection

When choosing women's or men's rare Slavic names, you should take into account that children with such a nickname may not adequately react to children, but also some adults. Therefore, it is better to think carefully before calling a baby, for example, such an Old Slavonic name as Mecheslav, Ratibor or Velizar. Men's Slavic names can also be used to hearing: Bogdan, Boris, Miroslav, Yaroslav. No less popular today are such Slavic female nicknames as Snezhana, Milan, Zlata, Yarina. Female or Slavic male names, the list of which will help to understand what exactly is pleasant to the ear and so is pleasant to parents, will always be original and pleasant in sounding.
