Choosing a name for the baby is a difficult and responsible task. Thousands of parents daily puzzle over what interesting female names are now in fashion, how not to make a mistake and charge your beloved child with happiness for life. A woman is always a mystery, it is a mystery and enchanting beauty, and each country has its own canons. Names of foreign origin, Old Slavonic and long forgotten, are becoming very popular now. Perhaps this material will help you choose the fate for your daughter.
We are for modern fashion!
If you constantly monitor trends and do not miss any important event, we recommend that you look at the beautiful female names of today. You don’t have to break the language over pronunciation, and, of course, any traditional Russian version is ideally combined with a simple Russian patronymic.
One popular magazine recently conducted a survey. 45 thousand men answered the question about which female name is the most pleasant for them. The three leaders included Katya, Victoria and Nastya. They are followed by Ksyusha, Tanechka and Natasha. Of course, these names always remain in trend and are considered classics. However, many parents prefer to give beautiful female names (modern) rare and mysterious, such as Carmina, Evangeline, Evelina, Ariadne, Camellia.
We are fans of the French genre
It is believed that French ladies bear the most melodic names. If you recall the famous actresses, they will always be associated with the standards of beauty and elegance. It is not surprising that French names are female in fashion with us. In kindergartens, you can increasingly meet Adele, Camilla, Violetta. Veronica (with emphasis on the last syllable) is similar to our Vika - both names mean victory, but have a different origin. Irene (by analogy with Ira) - a peaceful and kind soul; Claire - bright style; Sylvia is a forest nymph, Emma is mysterious.
Almost all popular French names for women have a complex etymology and were borrowed from other countries. Over time, their pronunciation has changed. For example, Jeanette comes from the Hebrew language, and Barbara from the ancient Roman. Here are some more interesting options: Vivienne (living), Giselle (arrow), Josephine (kind), Monica (affectionate), Mary (beloved), Margot (precious), Emmanuel (given by God).
We are German favorites
German female names always impress. Despite the fact that the very language of the German people is rude, and not everyone likes it, their names are charming. The girls, named after the German name, are surely waiting for the success and attention of those around them.
For example, Mirabella is a very sensitive and vulnerable nature. They make beautiful housewives and faithful wives. But Isolde is the name for a strong personality, who is likely to achieve success in her career. Isold’s name translates as “cold gold,” and therefore it can be dangerous, but only with those who do not value it.
Other popular German female names are: Alma (gracious), Gertrude (warrior, heroine), Ganrietta (noble girl), Iolanta (violet), Frederick (powerful), Emily (rival), Frida (faithful), Hannah (gifted). In Russia you can often meet Inga, Maryana, Nelly. These names are firmly rooted in us, although they are of German origin.
We look east
Eastern women are always a mystery. Arabic female names are associated with the melody of oriental dance, the secrets of the sands and the charm of their owners. The mixing of cultures leads to the fact that in our country Russian girls are more often called traditional Muslim names. And at the same time they grow up happy and loved. Consider which Arabic female names are the most popular.
Often there are girls Guli, Naili, Camila. They are beautiful, like flowers, respected and merciful. Juicy chords sound Malika, Jamilya, Laysan ... Parenting a child by the name of Aisha, parents expect their daughter to grow up smart and obedient, meek and courteous. By the way, this name is of great importance for Muslims. That was the name of the wife of the great prophet Muhammad.
It is not recommended to name Fatima girls. The fact is that all babies are called so before they receive their birth certificate. Most residents of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and other countries give girls the following names: Jana, Lian, Zafira, Razan, Shahd.
We are for the long forgotten old
Interesting female names of native Russian origin now, surprisingly, are rare. Why are Elena, Vera, Natalia not melodious? You will be surprised, but it is very difficult to meet modern newborns with such names. But Sofia and Daria are found in almost every hospital ward.
Old female names are even less commonly used. Some 100-200 years ago, among the common people, they sounded everywhere, but now they have lost their former glory. Perhaps someone will like one of these options: Agapia, Agnia, Adeline, Anthony, Vasilisa, Evdokia, Emelyana, Zoya, Zlata, Matryona, Milena, Pelagia, Praskovya, Serafima, Taisya, Raisa, Fevronya, Fokla, Theodore.
The original Russian names must necessarily have the root "sweet" or "glory." For example, Yaroslav, Miloslav, Bohuslav, Bohumil, Svyatoslav. Such a tradition has been preserved since the time of Kievan Rus, because then the name must have made sense. And all the more familiar to us - Varvara, Sofia, Maria, Julia, Anna came to our country from Ancient Greece and Rome.
