Harmonization with the surname and patronymic. A florid name with a simple surname and patronymic sounds ridiculous. As well as most ordinary, modest names, coupled with unusual or foreign surnames.
Some people believe that if the letter "r" is absent in the infant's patronymic, then it must necessarily be in the name, otherwise the child will grow up too soft-hearted. An overabundance of the letter "r" also does not bode well, therefore, if there is this letter in the middle name, the name must be chosen without it.
It will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the interpretation of the name before naming the child. Male names have a wide variety of meanings and it is believed that a "weak" name can negatively affect the future of the baby.
It is considered a bad omen to name a baby in honor of the victims, especially a tragic death, relatives or great martyrs. There is an opinion that a child can repeat their fate.

Write in the comments what you want to name your child)

Most of the Russian male names that we come across every day are so familiar and familiar to us that we perceive them as Russian names, especially without thinking about their origin. In fact, there are literally only a few of them in modern society that are natively Russian. Indeed, Russian male names with Slavic roots turned out to be over time ousted by names of Greek, Latin (Roman), Jewish, Scandinavian origin. Today, most male names borrowed once upon a time from other peoples are considered Russian, although in fact they have foreign roots.

Russian male names of Slavic origin

Among the first male names that appeared in Russia, there are very few of those that "survived" to this day. The overwhelming majority of truly Russian Slavic male names have long been forgotten and exist only in archival materials left by our ancestors. It's a pity, because these are very beautiful male names!

Russian male names of Greek origin

Borrowed male Greek names have taken root in almost all European languages. They are also in the Russian language. Many Russian male names of foreign origin have Greek roots. After the adoption of Christianity in Russia, children were given names at baptism. The priest chose the name of the child according to the Holy Calendar.

Russian male names of Latin (Roman) origin

Among the Russian male names there are many and those that have Latin roots. The meaning of these male names is based on Latin origin.

Russian male names of Jewish origin

Many male names also have Jewish roots. Even the seemingly Russian name Ivan is actually of Jewish origin, and it is derived from the Hebrew word Yahweh, which means God has mercy.

Unusual "new" male names were invented during the boom in neologisms in the USSR. Some of these male names were known earlier, but in consonance with the realities of the Soviet era, they became more widespread.

In Ancient Russia, it was believed that, along with the name, the properties that are contained in the lexical meaning are transmitted to the man. It was believed that one should not give one's name to a stranger, so as not to be influenced by his witchcraft. Ancient male Russian names and their meanings were peculiar characteristics of people.

It so happened that Russian male names are represented only by original Russian names, but also by Greek, Roman, Jewish. That is why the choice of names for parents is great. In Russian families, parents can give their son any name they like. Honoring ancestors and traditions, Russians name their sons in honor of grandfathers and great-grandfathers, outstanding historical figures, politicians, and artists.

It must be said that most of the modern Russian male names do not actually have a Slavic or Russian origin. And all because in the 19th century, the original Russian names were forgotten, replacing them with more sonorous and interesting Byzantine, Greek, Babylonian and Syrian names.

Nowadays, Hebrew names are very popular in Russian families, for example, Daniel, Gabriel, Zakhar, Semyon. And all because they are beautiful, sonorous, but at the same time quite strong and strong-willed.

If you do not want to deviate from traditions and go to give your son a traditional Russian male name, then take a closer look at the following names: Bronislav, Bogdan, Vladimir, Gleb, Yaroslav. Agree, these Russian male names are not devoid of nobility, strength, courage, characteristic of strong and hardy Russian heroes.

Names are another aspect of fashion. For different generations, their choice was determined by completely different criteria. However, like the entire fashion world, the fashion for names is characterized by a kind of circulation.

Tell me what your name is ...

Fate, inner self, fate and signs - according to astrologers, numerologists, as well as numerous sites on the Internet, all these confusing concepts are extremely influenced by the name of a person. And despite the fact that someone thinks this is nonsense, and someone - the truth, it is difficult to argue that, in the end, there is something here. It's not for nothing that sometimes a name seems completely inappropriate for a person. So how could it be if it were just a word? With him, everyone goes through life, and it is he who is first of all asked when meeting. This means that it is obviously believed that with the help of the name you can get to know a person better.

Origin

Modern male names are an assortment of antiquity and modernity, foreign influences and Slavic motives. So, choosing how to name a child, now they use the most unexpected options. Apparently, it is now that the change of generations is taking place, in which there is a kind of fashionable revolution, a return to the origins. In clothes, the styles of past centuries are beginning to be seen, and in the names - something ancient, half-forgotten. Now it is not so difficult to meet kids on the street running to their mother's call "Kiryan!" or "Elisha!"

The beauty of sounds

It is difficult to say how it is determined whether a name is beautiful. After all, this is a matter of taste. But at one point, one of them becomes more popular, more famous, begins to be associated with aesthetics and grace, and in the case of male names, also with strength and masculinity. An inexplicable phenomenon!

So, about five years ago, the most beautiful name turned out to be Maxim, and the rest of the modern male names lost in this battle. Newborn boys are often called maxims and still. This is the third most popular choice in Russia.

The most unusual beautiful male names

Modern resources allow you to get open access to information on almost any issue. Thanks to them, it is not so difficult to choose original male names from thousands of options. Modern Russian young couples are not limited to a banal choice in favor of Ivanov and Petrov, pondering what to call the boy, they strive for mysterious sound.

So, the rarest and most beautiful names of men of our time are given below:

Christian;
Mstislav;

Eric.

Whatever the choice from this list falls on, the ideal option is when the name is combined with the surname and patronymic, which emphasize its sonority. Exclusivity in something always imposes certain obligations on its owner. In this case: compliance with your extraordinary name and wearing it with dignity, readiness to meet with misunderstanding from others.

What is dear to the heart

Despite the fact that beauty is usually closely bordered by unusualness, which was literally confirmed by the previous section, one should not forget that simplicity has its own sophistication. Russian male names are no worse than foreign ones. Modern girls choose Mikhailov and Konstantinov instead of Edwards and Anvars, feeling in them a security that stands above pathos. By "Russians" is meant not the origin, but the prevalence.

Among the names whose popularity has not gone away over the years:

Alexander;

Alexander and Dmitry are a separate conversation; these are beautiful male names that have long been very popular in the vastness of Russia. Modern boys, guys and men wear them with pleasure, just as nobles, princes and kings did it back in the 19th century.

What's in your name?

Every time, looking for male names anywhere, beautiful, modern, Russian - it doesn't matter, most of all the seeker is interested not so much in a specific list as in the meaning. It's always curious to know the secret behind the letter combination.

Modern male names and their meanings relate to each other quite definitely: for example, Alexander, already mentioned in this article, is translated as “protector”. It is not for nothing that the famous commander is immediately remembered. It is interesting that the name Aleksey has the same etymology. As you can see, the common root "alex" is responsible for the semantic energy, although in short forms it is precisely it that is lost, leaving much nicer versions of Sasha and Lesha.

How indicative is this example: modern realities force beautiful male names to be simplified and shortened, all their majesty is lost. Sometimes this is very useful, but I would not want the origins to be forgotten one day, and the power was lost forever.

Modern male names: a list

So, a young couple is waiting for a miracle - the birth of a child, in this case a son. She begins to look for suitable male names in all sources of information. The list (Russian modern dictionaries are full of such "databases") is usually extremely large to choose from, and each source tries to classify them in its own way.

Some (even most) of them represent lists where male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - all in one listing, but alphabetically distributed.

Below, in turn, a list is offered, where the classification is made by values. After all, of course, every parent wants his child to have exceptional qualities.

"Winner":

Andronicus;

"Defender":

Alexander;
Bronislav;
William;

"Strong, mighty":

Valentine;

"Great, glorious":

Vladislav;
Vyacheslav;
Sevastian;
Stanislav.

"Brave, brave at heart":

Leopold;

"Wise, reasonable":

"Noble, generous, peaceful":

The meanings of the most popular names for men

In the previous paragraph, male names were considered: the list (Russian modern ones for the most part, foreign ones - to a lesser extent) pleased with new, extraordinary combinations of sounds and long known ones, loved in the vastness of our homeland. In Russia, the most common male names over the past ten years:

Alexander;

What does each of them mean?

Alexander

Alexander was and remains the most famous male name. It is popular not only in the post-Soviet countries, but also abroad. Many famous personalities bore this name: Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Alexander the Great.

Its origin is Greek. The name is made up of the phrase "protect people." Alexandra are always persistent and strong personalities, real men with a reputation for fair people.

Dmitriy

The name Dmitry also came from Greece. The sunny country called the young men in honor of the goddess of fertility Demeter.

Men named Dmitry have a strong will to live, they are kind at heart, although they sometimes commit harsh acts. Loyalty is a hallmark of Dmitry throughout his entire life path. Sometimes they are too talkative, which interferes with achieving goals, but natural persistence wins, therefore they never stop if they really want to achieve something.

Maksim

The name Maxim differs among the three most popular male names by its origin - it is Latin. Translated from this language - "the greatest."

Maxims are often altruists, they love people and believe in them - they want to see something good in every person, which is why they sometimes suffer. At the same time, such men are firm in character, stubborn and stubborn, they are not afraid of responsibility, they make good and caring fathers. Children, by the way, are loved in principle, both their own and those of others.

Conclusion

To believe or not to believe that the name has sacred power is everyone's choice. But even the most cynical person on earth will hardly be able to call him just a word.

Male names of any time are amazing in that, no matter how majestic their full form sounds, they always keep in themselves a short, diminutive, for those closest to you. Sensuality and softness are manifested in her, without which even the most severe man can go nowhere.
