When a child is born, all parents have a question: "What name should I give to my baby?" Some people come up with names long before giving birth, others cannot come up with names during the first weeks of their child's life.
Everyone is very responsible for choosing a name, because there is a saying for good reason: "As you name a ship, so it will float." Many parents, when choosing a name for their baby, undertake to look for the decoding of names in books or on the Internet, some choose such a name so that it is consonant with the patronymic and surname.
Fashion for names
There are parents who call their children only fashionable names. And there is nothing strange here, because the fashion for names has always existed. Each generation has a certain group of names that were encountered more often than others.
It is best to pick up a couple of names before the baby is born, because after the birth you will have a lot of pleasant hassle, and you need to register the name within a month.
So, for example, among the names of our grandmothers we often met - Zoya, Raisa, Lida, Klavdia. For women in the 1960s and 70s, fashionable names were Lyudmila, Nadezhna, Natalya, Nina and Galina. 1980-1990 - Tatiana, Anna, Katerina and Irina.
There are also names that are relevant to any generation. Women's: Olga, Maria, Elena. Male: Alexander, Andrey, Alexey, Sergey.
They often name their children in honor of a church holiday. And during the period when faith was ridiculed, people named their children after someone or in honor of some event. A clear example of this is the names Dazdraperma - long live the first of May, or Vladlen - Vladimir Lenin.

But choosing a very rare name, which very few people have heard in general, is also not worth it. After all, it may not be very comfortable for your baby to live with such a name. Your best bet is to see what that name means before picking up a name. After all, each name carries some specific character traits. And, perhaps, by choosing a name, you are, as it were, choosing a destiny for your child.
