Trends in the selection of names change from year to year, which is eloquently evidenced by the statistics of registry offices, where birth certificates are issued to all newborns. But the statistics reflect the past period, and I want to name it so as not to lag behind the current fashion and at the same time not forget about common sense. There are numerous lists, relying on which, it is much easier to decide.

Russian male names in 2023 will often be selected in accordance with the Days of Angels. This tradition is supported more reverently in religious families, but even atheists often resort to it. This is due to the fact that young parents often become more superstitious and try to make life easier for their son by various methods, including by providing him with the protection of a guardian angel.

Principles of selection
A name for a boy is the word that he hears most often throughout his life, so a lot depends on its sound. Experts know that a certain combination of sounds affects the mood, emotional state, and even character traits of a person. Through the name, people will contact the boy, and later - the man, so itbecomes the main connecting word, a bridge between the individual and society.
In our culture, women often change their surname after marriage, but the name, surname and patronymic inherited by a man at birth remain forever, that is, this issue should be approached especially scrupulously.
The main principles of selection have been named for a long time, but young couples will be interested to know them in more detail:
- Combination with a surname. In kindergarten, at school, at a university, this combination will sound often, and will largely determine the attitude of peers and teachers to a boy or young man. For long surnames, it is recommended to choose short names and vice versa.
- Combination with patronymic. At this point the Slavs pay attention, because in other countries there is often no patronymic. Ease of pronunciation and harmony is provided by the change of vowels and consonants between adjacent words in the full name. For example, Nikita Rostislavovich would be a good example, not Nikita Olegovich. Ideally, if the stress falls on the same syllable, then the combination sounds rhythmically, like a poem: Anton Ilyich, Mikhail Konstantinovich, Yan Yuryevich, etc.
- Eausibility. Of course, one of the main male traits is the ability to withstand difficulties, to rebuff offenders, but if the name clearly rhymes with an offensive word or swear word, it is better for parents to refuse it, to avoid unnecessary provocation. In adolescence, the boy will probably have to deal with offensive nicknames and nicknames, after which he may hate the name.
- Approval from relatives.If one of the parents violently denies the chosen option, it is better to refuse it. Mom or dad may deliberately name the child differently or feel slighted because their opinion was not heeded. Being the cause of parental conflict is too much for a small person.
In any case, when making the final decision on how to name the boy in 2023, you should remember that this name will become the most melodic and favorite for mom and dad in a few months.
