Statistics of popular names. Modern beautiful female names: Russian and foreign names for girls by month

Modern medicine allows future parents to find out the gender of their child long before it is born. And, of course, dad and mom immediately think about a name for their baby. Our advice is dedicated to future parents of girls - we hope they will help you choose a name for your princess! We studied the trends and came to a conclusion about which names for girls will be the most fashionable in 2016.

How to choose a name for your daughter in 2016?

First, remember: when choosing a name, it is not enough to be guided only by fashion or popularity. You should also take into account the time of birth of the girl, the euphony of the name and its compatibility with the patronymic and surname, family traditions and religious beliefs. Everyone knows that a name affects a person’s fate - and we all want your daughter to have a happy and wonderful life.

A church name guarantees your daughter the patronage of the Saint of the same name!

For a long time, the problem of choosing a name did not exist - the child was named in accordance with the church calendar. On the one hand, this is a tribute to traditions and, as the church claims, the protection of a guardian angel for life. Perhaps this is true. If you choose this path, then there is nothing to worry about - your daughter’s name is written in the calendar!

By the way, there is an opinion that names with double letters (Anna, Inna, Ivanna) give their owners two guardian angels at once! At baptism, some parents give a name that is written in the calendar, but in worldly life they call the child differently - this is an ancient custom-amulet. The name of the saint protecting your daughter will be known only to close people, which means this will help protect her from the evil eye, damage and slander.

Fashionable names for girls in 2016

• Anna– a Hebrew name meaning “grace, merciful.” It is considered a popular female name, and deservedly so: Anna is artistic and beautiful, she is a woman with a big heart, ready to warm everyone. She has a delicate taste and is reputed to be a needlewoman - she does any work “excellently”. All types of art are subject to Anna. She is always careful, attentive, selfless and trusting, has a subtle intuition and never regrets what she has done. Confident Anna will never fall under the influence of others, and always makes her own choices.
• Olga– this Old Norse name will undoubtedly be very popular in 2016. It means “great, sacred.” Olga is serious, thoughtful, ambitious and feminine, an excellent housewife and wife, very emotional and a little touchy. She will never cause problems for her parents and teachers, because she is not arrogant or hooligan, but has a penchant for kind and beneficent deeds. Remember: Olga achieves everything she wants in life and will definitely have a happy family!
• Faith- Slavic name with the same meaning: “faith, belief.” Vera is always reasonable and prudent; from childhood she has worldly wisdom and a logical way of thinking. As a rule, she does not upset her parents - a girl with this name is obedient, quiet and not capricious, but she is invariably affectionate and gentle. Having chosen the path, she confidently follows it and does not deviate from the intended goal. She has a beautiful appearance and a kind heart, always ready to help. And natural modesty makes Vera a real treasure. In addition, Vera will grow up to be a caring mother and a faithful wife.
• Hope– also a Slavic ancient name. Nadezhda is always restrained and purposeful, but not without adventurism, cheerful emotionality and noisiness. She will always follow the motto: “time for business, time for fun”; this allows her to achieve a lot in life and never be in need. For Nadezhda, family values ​​and the authority of her mother are important. Sociable and smart, she becomes a real support for friends and family.
• Milena is a rare beautiful Slavic name that will definitely be popular in 2016. Milena is a light, gentle, kind and soft girl who strives to learn new things. Milena needs protection, so family is of utmost importance to her. Faithful and virtuous, she is loved by her parents, husband and team.
• Nina is an undeservedly forgotten Greek girl’s name, which will be very fashionable in 2016. Nina is always independent, self-sufficient, persistent in achieving goals and proud. Perhaps she is not always restrained, and can even get into a fight, but only on the side of justice. Nina is punctual, principled and responsible, which allows her to occupy leadership positions as an adult. Natural charm, femininity and gentleness attract the best of men to Nina. Usually Nina is happily married, has an excellent large family and an established career. Lives to a ripe old age, surrounded by grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Also among the popular ones in 2016 will be such beautiful female names as Pelagia(ancient Greek, “sea”), Miroslava(Slavic, “peace and glory”), Agnia(Sanskrit, “fiery”), Nika(ancient Greek, “victory”), Marfa(Aramaic, also known as Martha, “lady, mistress”), Mayan(name of the ancient Greek goddess of the Universe), Ulyana(ancient Roman, also known as Juliana, “born in July”), Ustinia(Latin, it is also Justina, “fair”).

In addition, in the coming year the names Maria, Ekaterina, Elizaveta, Anastasia, Daria and Sophia will continue to be fashionable. If you want to choose a name for a girl in 2016, taking into account the time of her birth, then you should know the character traits that correspond to the seasons.

• Winter. During the coldest and harshest time of the year, mostly girls are born who are purposeful and talented in many areas. They are energetic and even conflict-ridden, so soft and gentle names are recommended for “winter” babies that will help smooth out harsh character traits.
• Spring. At this time, morally flexible and resilient girls are born who are able to adapt to any situation and win not by force, but by reason. “Spring” daughters do not have fighting qualities, so firm and assertive names suit them.
• Summer. The summer period gives birth to purposeful and persistent girls with a proud disposition and an active life position. But they can be soft, gentle, and affectionate. Therefore, “summer” princesses can be given any name.
• Autumn. In autumn, practical, sensible and serious girls come into the world who grasp everything on the fly, quickly learn new things and are able to learn from mistakes. Romantic and fantasy names are suitable for them, which will deprive them of excessive severity and rationality.

What names should you not use?

Names for girls can be anything, but parents should remember to combine the first name with the surname and patronymic. Probably, you shouldn’t name your daughter Cleopatra, Glorinda or Odette if her patronymic name is Nikitovna, Matveevna or Fedotovna. Last name should also be taken into account. Agree, “Bernardetta Frolovna Bobikova” or “Julietta Ivanovna Sivokobylenko” sounds funny.

Also completely unusual for our ears are female names ending in a consonant - Carmen, Lourdes, Michelle, Nicole, Claire. You shouldn't give your daughter this name, even if Nicole Kidman is your favorite actress. It sounds ugly, for example: “Claire Antonovna Zyunkina.” Be sure to think about the diminutive form of the name - it should be short, sweet and gentle: Lyudmila - Darling. Olesya - Lelya or Lyalya, Alevtina - Alya.

It’s bad when the short version of the name looks like a dog’s name: Cleopatra - Klyopa, Patricia - Patya. Try to find a name that, regardless of pronunciation, will be sonorous and bright. For example, if a baby is named Carolla, then in childhood she may be teased as a “cow,” and Thekla will definitely be called a “beetroot.”

Do you know what I noticed? Not only clothes and style are subject to the laws of fashion, but also names. The fashion for names also changes, and changes cyclically. Names that were once popular are now rapidly losing popularity. And vice versa, names that were once not at all fashionable are currently trending. In short... I analyzed the official data from the Moscow registry office on the TOP 50 female names... And what do we see...? The absolute leader in the number of girls named is the name Sophia, and back in the 90s this name was not at all popular. Indeed, this was an unexpected fact for me. What is it connected with...? who the hell knows. Trend, motherfucker. Maria is firmly in second place, followed by Anastasia, Daria, Anna. Well, it’s logical, every second Masha, Nastya, Anya. The rapid growth in popularity is demonstrated by the names Elizaveta, Polina, Varvara, Alisa, Veronica, Arina. And vice versa, a catastrophic decline in the trend is shown by such common names as Ekaterina, Yulia, Olga, Tatyana, Irina, Elena, Svetlana, Natalya. Why is this so? ...maybe who knows?). Well, a few words about previously very rare names - Milana, Eva, Miroslava, Nika, Zlata, Amina... These names, apparently, are gradually becoming trends and will soon be heard more and more often.
For clarity, I present the TOP 50 female names, according to the number of girls named in 1990-2011. Below is a graph of changes in the popularity of female names from 1990-2011.
P.S.: I encourage everyone whose names are on the list to be active in the comments)

Although I am a doctor by training, first of all I am a woman. Therefore, when someone asks what to name a child, I advise you to think carefully. After all, this not only determines character traits, but also affects the fate of the baby as a whole. After all, as they say, what you name the boat... I was wondering what modern and beautiful names for girls 2017 will bring. This post will focus on exactly that.

What will a baby born in the year of the Rooster be like?

Let's see how to name a girl in 2017. First of all, we note that children who will be born next year will receive from their patron - the fiery Rooster - not only a bright temperament, but also a lot of energy, endurance and hard work. The child will have leadership qualities and perseverance, will be successful in school, active and sociable.⁣

Such a baby needs to be named accordingly. To cool the hot temper of girls born next year, cold names are suitable: Snezhana, Agata or Gerda. You can also soften the character if you name the baby tenderly and femininely. But a bright name, on the contrary, can emphasize the fiery nature of the little Cockerel. In addition, names that are both male and female will suit them well: Valeria, Evgenia, Alexandra, Vladlena or Vasilisa.

Girl names by month for 2017

Over the past few years, parents have often turned to the traditions of their ancestors. Previously, the choice was less long and not so painful. They named the child according to the “saints” or months:

Popular girl names in 2017

Let's continue the review and get acquainted with the most popular girls' names in 2017. But do not forget that any of them should sound harmonious in combination with the middle name. This will save your little one from ridicule in the future, and a successful combination of two names will have a positive impact on her life. So, the most common girls' names in 2017 will be:

1. Anastasia;

3. Valeria;

7. Milena;

8. Miroslava;

9. Polina;

10. Ulyana.

But remember that you need to focus not on popularity, but on individuality. When our baby was born, Sophias and Eves were in vogue. My husband and I really wanted our daughter to be called Sonya, but when she was born, it became clear that this was Martha. We can say that she herself told us what to call her. By the way, we have no regrets, since in the group in the garden there are two Sonyas working with us and Sophie is growing on the floor below. So think twice before choosing only from trendy baby girl names in 2017. They, it seems to me, are very sonorous and beautiful, but any fashion is temporary, and most importantly, massive.

What to name the girl? As soon as future parents find out the sex of their unborn baby, this question begins to worry them no less than other important things. What should you consider when choosing a name for your child? What female names attract good luck and happiness? What are the popular girl names in 2016?

How to choose a name for a girl: 4 important points

Even if you are already leaning towards one option, a couple of tips will never be superfluous.

Consonance with patronymic

When choosing a name for your baby, always remember that the sweet little girl will one day become an adult woman and will be addressed by her first name and patronymic. To make this combination harmonious, follow the rule: the simpler the middle name, the simpler the name should be. Elvira, Angelica or Nicole with the patronymic Fedorovna or Vasilievna sounds, to put it mildly, a little strange.

Also pay attention to the sequence of letters and sounds when pronouncing your name and patronymic. For example, Anna Gennadievna is somewhat difficult to pronounce due to the repeated double “n”.

Name after someone

By naming a child after someone, we pass on to him a piece of this person’s fate, both the good side and the not so good. Be careful with such decisions - this way you can inadvertently “program” the life of your baby without knowing it.

Moreover, you should not deliberately choose the names of martyrs, heroines or women who lived a short life. This does not mean that such names should be avoided altogether. Of course not. If you just like the name Jeanne and associate it with French elegance, go ahead. But if your decision is based on admiration for a famous historical figure, look for another option.

Meaning of the name

Any word carries a certain energy charge. The name contains important information that can influence a person’s life. Find out what the name you like means.

Shortened options

Before you finally settle on a name, try pronouncing its various variations, paying special attention to abbreviated and diminutive forms. Some names, euphonious in full form, sound very funny when abbreviated. If this is not a problem for an adult, then for a child it can become a reason for ridicule and offensive nicknames from peers.

How to choose a name for a girl by date of birth

A child’s personal horoscope will provide more accurate information about his character, but in general, general recommendations can be taken into account when choosing a name for a girl.

Girls born in winter

They have an integral, strong and purposeful character. They can be a little harsh and even conflicting, so for such babies it is better to choose “soft” names, without rumbling “r” and hard “t” and “d”.

Girls born in spring

Active fidgets who often lack patience and perseverance. “Strong”, “assertive” names can “reason” pranksters.

Girls born in summer

The name for summer girls can be almost anything you choose. Summer children are energetic, inquisitive, and often have leadership abilities.

Girls born in autumn

Pedantic and disciplined. To soften the straightforwardness of the character a little, you can give the child an exquisite “fantasy” name.

Names for girls 2016: the most fashionable trends

So, it’s time to consider the most fashionable names for girls. Current trends:

Versatility

The tendency to give children names that sound the same both in Russian and abroad is only intensifying. Demographers associate this fashion with the increasing mobility of people and the desire of many families to move to live abroad or send their child to study in another country.

This is where the growing popularity of names like Anna, Maria, Elena, Christina, Catherine, Irina, Natalia, which easily turn into Anne, Marie, Helen, Christine, Kate, Irene, Natalie.

Unisex

Alexandra And Evgeniya– two more trends that are gaining momentum. It is generally accepted that feminine names with masculine energy bring misfortune to their owner. They say that the masculine principle present in the name repels men and does not allow them to create a strong family or realize themselves as a woman.

In fact, there are many positive examples of happy and successful women with this name. It all depends on what meaning you put into this name when choosing it for your baby. If you just like how noble and unusual Evgenia sounds, don’t be afraid of anything. But if you dreamed of a boy, and because of this you call your daughter a man’s name, this can harm her.

Short names

Polysyllabic names like Anastasia are gradually losing their positions. More and more parents are calling their children short names.

Among female names are becoming increasingly popular Eve, Mila, Kira, Yana. And Veronica, which was very common a couple of years ago, is gradually transforming into Vera.

Names of the early 20th century

The list of fashionable names for girls continues with retro names.

Pauline, Isabel (Bella), Zoya, Adele, Laura, Sofia, Nina, Emma, Juno, Rimma, Zlata, Yesenia- after the craze for Nastya and Dasha, names common at the beginning of the 20th century experienced a surge in popularity.

Made up names

Another trend worth noting is names for girls of their own composition. Parents often change the letter in a popular name, trying to give their child a unique name. This may be done for the sake of greater harmony, or it may have other reasons. Karina, for example, may be named after her parents: mother Marina and father Nikolai. Just replace the first letter in the mother’s name with K, and the baby’s name is ready.

Fashion, and this is a proven fact, has penetrated into all aspects of human life without exception. Moreover, such an important question as choosing a name for a child. Throughout 2015, young mothers left the maternity hospital accompanied by their newborns Eleanor, Magdalen, Alis, Zakharov and Davidov.

It's time to find out everything about which names will be most popular in the year of the Fire Monkey.
