How to choose a baby name
When searching for the answer to the question of how to name a girl, you can be guided by the advice of psychologists, astrologers, numerologists, or popular superstitions. What to choose from this arsenal is up to you.
What do psychologists say
First of all, they pay attention to the case when children are named after grandmothers or great-grandmothers. It should be remembered that the ridiculous old name can cause discomfort in a child. If this desire is unbeatable, try to find a modern version of the old anthroponym, for example, Aksinya can be replaced by Oksana (Ksenia).
Also, do not be in a hurry to reward the child with a too original film name, think about how it will sound without being tied to a film. It is possible that others will look for similarities between the hero of the film and the person, and this erases the individuality.
The sound composition of anthroponym, according to experts, affects the character of a person. For example, the combination of voiced consonants with "p" will contribute to the formation of a hard character, while girls whose sonic names predominate will be more kind and gentle. By the way, today there are special programs with which you can check the name.
Some tips from astrologers and numerologists
If you decide to name the girl by date and month of birth, pay attention to the sign of the zodiac and the time of year. For example, astrologers say that for Lviv you need to choose luxurious, majestic names (Regina, Hope, Angelica), for Taurus you can choose the names Olga, Veronika, Oksana, and Cancers - Lada, Yana.
Tips for different months:
- If the baby was born in winter, call her gently, feminine (Ulyana, Svetlana, Yulia), since this time "gives" a solid character.
- For gentle ladies born in spring, pick up stronger names: Larisa, Eleonora, Veronika.
- Babies born in the summer can be called as you want, because they can form any character traits.
