The name is destiny, according to popular wisdom. There is no doubt that this is so, because in ancient cultures there were rituals of nomination, and the new name, called spiritual, was kept secret. Probably, the vibrations of the name create certain events in the life of a person, therefore the name has a sacred meaning. Do they treat the name right now?
Name in the East
In an esoterically oriented oriental environment, the choice of name is given great importance. There are special rituals when, with the help of the oracle or on the advice of a sage, a child is chosen a name taking into account nationality, tribal roots, religion. In Tibet, India, parents turn to an astrologer in order to choose a name for the child. According to different principles, names for boys and names for girls were chosen ; interesting sounds, coupled with a deep meaning, helped a person in life.
However, long polynomial names are found not only in Asia, but also among Catholics: the middle name is about the same as the middle name in the native tradition.
Oriental appeals can be very beautiful or illegible, but for our subconscious mind such names as Jewish Sara or Indian Amala are unlikely to have any meaning.
Name in Western Culture
Choosing a name, Europeans and Americans often use it as a way to stand out and show off. Yes, the "vaunted" Western egocentrism does not sleep! Another selection criterion may be the originality or consonance of the chosen name with certain phenomena or things.
For each language, the most semantic are the native names, because for the ear of a speaker of a certain language, these names have a multilayer and deep meaning, perceived not by the mind, but by the heart. Foreign names are an empty phrase, maybe decorative and bright, but meaningless.
For example, names for girls, interesting for their peers, can be consonant with the "star": Madonna, Tina, Ariadne. Do they mean something at the sacred level for a Russian-speaking girl? Probably not, but beautiful!
It turns out that the Western approach to choosing a name is often based on superficial and momentary attitudes and desires, and the name still makes fate!
Name in Slavic tradition
On the border of East and West - we, incomprehensible Slavs. The tradition of the Slavs is now being revived and is very consonant with the Vedic, only in Russian-language performance. How do Slavs choose a name?
This is a special rite of passage, when, after some preparation, the person who is trying to readjust, tries to tune in with Mother Nature and literally hear the name that she whispers in her ear. For the child, these responsibilities are performed by successors, although there may be some differences in different traditions.
Do not worry that there are no Slavic names in Christmas time - this is a different world and a different orientation. The Slavic name is consonant for the Russian-speaking child and his environment and, accordingly, is easily perceived. For example, Yaroslav - it’s immediately clear that he is a warrior, and he should not be pulled by his mustache. Interesting names for girls of Slavic origin can be well known, for example, Love - it is immediately clear what this name means. The less common name Lada has a clear meaning - the one that brings the way. Or Mirra - a name with a double meaning: "peace" and the healing oil of myrrh.
How to name a child?
In anticipation of the addition of the family, the question becomes popular: "Have you already decided what you call?" Relatives try to offer their own version of the name for the baby, friends their own, and parents cannot agree among themselves.
According to ancient beliefs, it is believed that only a mother should call a child: it is she who, being connected with his soul more than anyone else, can subconsciously hear that program, fate, mission that the child carries in itself.
There are frequent cases when the expectant mother knows what she will call the baby. The right way to properly name the child is the first feeding: the name given at this time will be the most suitable.
The meaning of the female name
Almost mystical meaning and great power contain names for girls. Interesting observations: if the name is sonorous, beautiful and suits its owner, then her fate will be safe. The man also responds to the name, choosing her as a wife.
What names just do not come up with for girls, interesting and not very, in an attempt to stand out or beautifully name your child! Angelina, Karina, Dana, Asya, Liana, Louise, Helen and many others.
It is believed that the female name, derived from the male, is unfavorable for its owner: Alexander, Jeanne, Inna, Eugene, Ruslan, Valery. This is not always the case, because the fate of each woman is individual, although it has been noticed that women with male names are really more active and enterprising, and sometimes they are powerful and purposeful.
However, one of the most volitional rulers of Russia was Empress Elizabeth, whom the girl was called by the soft name Lisa, and one of the most feminine representatives of the national stage is singer Valeria.
Why does a woman change her last name, and what does it affect
The transfer of the surname is almost the same in almost all traditions: a newborn girl accepts the name of her father, and becoming older and married - her spouse. Why is that?
This is not just a tradition associated with the preservation of dowry or procreation. Such a ritual has a sacred meaning: in many cultures it is believed that a woman should be under the protection of the family - first the father, then the husband. A symbol of such protection is the adoption of a surname.
Question "What is your last name?" akin to the old and more understandable “Whose will you be?”, that is, whose blood, whose kind, where you come from. Noble families picked up interesting names and surnames for girls, however, how can I choose a surname? She herself finds a man and also influences his fate.
Interesting names for girls
Russian names are back in fashion again, and it pleases, because it’s easy to understand what kind of life is prepared for a girl named Zlata or Vlad. The same juicy and catchy Renata does not tell us anything with her sound.
Whatever beautiful and interesting names come up for girls! The drawback of fashionable names is their fragility: when time passes, sometimes they become ridiculous, like Vilena, consisting of the nickname of a communist ideologist. And what fate can such a girl have?
The most interesting names for girls can be found in the depths of centuries: Sophia, Pelagia, Aleftina, Thekla. Ancient names are also good for their strength, accumulated over the centuries, because every woman with that name has invested in him a small fraction of her soul, love, good deeds. It is good if such names were found in the family: it was noticed that relatives who had not been aware of each other for a long time, comparing the family relations at the meeting, find interesting coincidences and repetitions of names. Genetics and the new science of rhodology quite logically and reasonably explain such similarities with an identical generic program.
So how do you choose the right name?
In our culture, there are a number of rules for choosing a suitable name for both an adult and a child. Even for a materialist-minded person, it is obvious that Frosi and Anastasia will have different fates.
So, usually when choosing a name adhere to several rules:
- not to name in honor of close relatives, especially living ones, since it is believed that the namesakes will squeeze each other, even without being physically close, influence fate;
- not to name by the name of famous people with a difficult fate, because in this way the circumstances of the life of a celebrity are transmitted “by inheritance”, which is accused with the name;
- to avoid the consonance of the last syllable of the first name and the first syllable of the middle name or last name: such combinations usually do not make communication with the owner of a hard-to-pronounce name (for example, Klim Mikhailovich will suffer from sounds no less than Alexander Alexandrovich or Ruslana Valerevna);
- it is auspicious to call the names of saints and great people, especially if such names were in the family of the reproached;
- if the middle name and surname include soft consonants, then you can strengthen the person by choosing a name with a double letter (for example, the name Inna is suitable for middle name; if the middle name has a rich sound that includes the letter P, for example, Alexandrovna, then its owner should not be called Zhanna) .
Today the market is filled with collections offering interesting names of boys and girls. Quite popular, for example, is the name Eve. Yes, feminine sound and associations with a beautiful woman ancestor. However, given the color that this name has acquired over the centuries of Christianity, it makes sense to think carefully before calling your daughter Eve.
