It is noteworthy that very few original English names have survived to this day. The vast majority were borrowed from other cultures: Hebrew, Ancient Greek Celtic, Norman, etc. At that time, people received names that praised the forces of nature, gods and some human qualities.

Therefore, the meanings of names can be unusual and even ridiculous for modern man. For example, the name Rachel, which is popular today, means “lamb” or “little sheep.”

After Christianity came to Europe, the list of English names included the names of biblical characters (Sarah, Agnes). Many names are associated with a person's occupation (Bailey - sheriff's assistant; Abella - shepherdess). Sometimes a shortened version of the name becomes an independent unit, for example, Victoria - Vicky; Rebecca - Becky; Angelina - Angie.

Popular English female names

Name fashions come and go. Some of them are forgotten forever, and some return from time to time - often in their original form, but sometimes in a new interpretation.

According to the UK Office of National Statistics, the most popular female names are Olivia, Emma and Sophie. The top 30 English female names are presented below:

Very often, fashion TV series or films influence the degree of popularity of a particular name.. For example, the name Arya, which is in 24th place in the ranking of popular female names in Great Britain in 2014, was named after one of the main heroines of the popular series “Game of Thrones”.

Also suddenly the names of other heroines of this series - Sansa, Brienne, Catelyn and Daenerys - began to be often used.

The name Isabella (Bella) was used extremely rarely until recently. New life it was given to him by the heroine of the Twilight saga, Bella Swan. The first part of the film was released in 2008, and since that time the name Isabella has been annually among the most popular English female names.

And how many girls today bear the name of Harry Potter’s faithful friend – Hermione! Until recently, the name was considered obsolete, but the popularity of the book and its film version have given it new life.

The success rate of name bearers also greatly influences the popularity of the name itself. A survey conducted in Great Britain showed which owners of names the residents of Foggy Albion consider the most and least successful. The survey results are shown below.

As we see, simple girls with short and mediocre names are less successful than their rivals, whose names are full and aristocratic. It is interesting that the name Elizabeth is the leader in the list of the most successful names, while its shortened form, Lisa, is at the bottom of the list of the least successful.

Rare English female names

Unlike the names that appear on popularity charts from time to time, the names below have long been among the least used names. Named outsiders include:

Annik – benefit, grace

Allin - bird

Amabel – attractive

Bernays - bringing victory

Bambi is a child

Bekkai - the one who lures into a trap

Bets is my oath

Willow – willow

Gabby - strength from God

Dominic is the lord's property

Jojo - multiplying

Delours - melancholy

Jewel - a precious stone

Georgina - peasant woman

Elayn – bird

Kiva - beautiful

Kelly - blonde

Lukinda - light

Lalaj – babbling

Morgan - sea circle

Marley - favorite

Melissa - bee

Mackenzie is a beauty

Mindy the black snake

Meagan is a pearl

Penelope - the cunning weaver

Poppy – poppy

Rosaulin – a gentle mare

Totti - girl

Phyllis - tree crown

Heather - heather

Edwena - wealthy friend

Perhaps it is unusual meanings some names and caused the loss of their popularity. After all, it would be very strange to name your daughter Beccai and wait for her to lure you into a trap. Some names have become rarely used due to their cacophony, for example, Poppy, Lukinda, Belours, etc.

Sometimes a name simply becomes outdated, despite its euphony and positive value. For example, originally English name Mildred, in different sources means "noble" or "gentle strength". It seems to be pleasant to the ear, and the meaning is more than acceptable, and its roots are originally English, but this name is used extremely rarely.

Unusual female English names

Among ordinary people unusual names are quite rare. After all, most parents, when choosing a name for a child, know that it can become a reason for ridicule among children, and do not want to risk the future of their child. But celebrities don't care at all.

Hoping to once again draw attention to their person, they make any sacrifices. Even to make life much more difficult for your child by giving him a meaningless but incredibly exclusive name.

Such inventors include:

Bruce Willis named his younger daughters in honor of favorite horses that won at the races, — Scout-Larue and Tallupa-Bell. Probably, the happy father of the girls hoped that his daughters would also always live up to his hopes.
Gwyneth Paltrow came up with the name Apple for her daughter. translated into Russian meaning “apple”. You might think that Gwyneth - famous vegetarian, decided to name my daughter this in honor of her favorite fruit. But in fact, the girl’s name is associated with the biblical legend of heaven and the forbidden fruit.
Rapper 50 Cent named his child Marquis. It seems like a good name for a girl. But the fact is that Marquise is the son of a rapper. Perhaps the Marquise's father wanted to raise his son strong spirit and indifference to other people's opinions.
Singer David Bowie picked up the baton and named his son after Zoe. Only because he thought the combination of Zoe Bowie was funny.
Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z named their daughter Blue Ivy. which means “blue ivy”. The couple justifies their choice by saying that, according to excerpts from Rebecca Solnit's novel, the color blue brings “beauty to the whole world.” And the word Ivy is similar to the Roman numeral IV. Many events in the singer’s life are associated with this number.
Actress Milla Jovovich named her daughter Ever Gabo. The second part of the name consists of the first syllables of Mila’s parents - Galina and Bogdan. Apparently, the actress believes in the legend that the child will be happy if you give him a name consisting of parts of the names of relatives.
A American rock musician Frank Zappa gave his daughter the name Moon Unit. Which means "Lunar Satellite" in translation. When the musician was asked why he gave his daughter such a name, he replied that he just wanted it.
P Evangelist Christina Aguilera, not wanting to give her daughter a banal name, simply called her “Summer Rain”(Summer Rain). After all, summer is favorite time year of the singer.

Some people, who cannot imagine their life without their favorite films and TV series, name their children not only after their favorite characters and actors, but using ordinary words that are not proper names.

Thus, the popular series “Game of Thrones”, already mentioned in this article, was the reason for the emergence of a completely new female name - Khaleesi. For those few who have not watched the series, a clarification: Khaleesi is the title of one of the heroines of the series, synonymous with queen or queen. Today at real world There are already 53 girls with this name.

Human imagination is limitless, so new names will constantly appear in the world. Some of them will take root and gain popularity, and some, after talking a little, will be forgotten.

Most likely, several hundred years ago the name Neteli also surprised everyone, because it means “born on Christmas.” But now it is worn by thousands of women all over the world. Perhaps the name Khaleesi or Blue Ivy will be able to become just as popular and long-lived and join the list of classic English female names.

Many sources claim that a name can influence a person’s destiny. It is not yet possible to prove or disprove this with a 100% guarantee. But every parent strives to give their baby a beautiful and, in his opinion, euphonious name.

Nowadays, you can increasingly hear unusual names that came to us from abroad or “obtained” from ancient books. Even in society on children with rare names they no longer react as sharply as they did ten years ago. It seems that such variety simplifies the task of naming your baby. But this is not true: a wide choice complicates the decision-making process. Sometimes it’s even difficult to narrow down the circle to two or three options.

1. How to choose a good name for a child

There are a number of criteria that will help parents make the right choice. Just the beauty of sound full version may not be enough. The following should be analyzed:

origin of the name;
short form euphony;
compatibility with the surname;
meaning, translation and more.

Often parents choose names based on family customs. For example, one name can be passed on from generation to generation or two can alternate. Or parents, by coincidence, have names starting with the same letter. They may wish to preserve this feature and name the child with this factor in mind.

If we talk about fashion trends, then the trends are Old Slavonic, international and even short names which are included in the documents. Among the latter are Marusya, Sasha, Lena, Keith and others. Even fictitious names are no longer uncommon.

If you come up with the idea of inventing a name yourself, then you should take into account the combination of each of the syllables of the word and its full sound. The chosen or invented word should be melodic. Its purpose is to emphasize the character that parents would like to see in a child. Or focus attention on some visible features of the baby. For example, red hair or big eyes.

2. Fashionable and beautiful names for boys

It is believed that a beautiful name is of great importance only for a girl. However, parents are seriously puzzled by the process of naming a boy. It is at this moment that fathers and mothers strive to instill in the child some traits that will need to be developed in the future. Therefore, most names chosen for male babies mean nobility, masculinity, strength, courage, intelligence and the ability to protect the weak.

Among the usual male names, their own variations appeared, designed to make these words more refined and original. This is due to the new generation of young parents who are fighting for the uniqueness of everything associated with their offspring. This is how all kinds of Maximus, Alejandro and Damian are born.

The desire to bring foreign chic into the ordinariness of Russian reality gave birth to countless Alens, Bernards, Daniels, Jules, Laurents, Lucs, Mathieu, Nathans, Pierres and others among the Ivanovs and Sergeys, who undoubtedly attracted the attention of boys. Parents with such a wild imagination should take into account that Francisco Ivanov or Gunther Semenov will cause nothing but laughter from their classmates. Even adults will not be able to calmly react to such combinations.

For those who have not yet decided on a name for a male child, we can recommend the following list of names suitable for our region and at the same time beautiful:

3. Choosing a name for a girl

If a girl is born, parents also face a difficult task. IN adolescence Girls are more likely than boys to say that they do not like their name. Of course, you can make reference to a rebellious age and whims, but you should still make sure in advance that the child himself likes the name.

Interesting fact: Roman women most often did not have their own name. They were awarded only a family name or the so-called cognomen of the husband. In Greece, it was quite the opposite: every girl born was given a completely new name.

Choosing a euphonious name for everyone is completely subjective. Some people like Elena, while others are delighted with Praskovya. Increasingly, you can see Lada or Evdokia on city streets. Among the most popular female names today:

The most beautiful female names from ancient languages

Some names not only sound pleasant, but also have a romantic translation from Latin or Greek, which is why many girls bear the names of goddesses and muses. Latin gave the world such wonderful names, How Augusta(majestic) Beata(happy) Gloria(fame) and Laura(crowned with a laurel wreath, that is, the winner). The names we are familiar with have ancient Greek roots: Margarita means "pearl" Vasilisa means "queen" and Sofia this is "wisdom".

Valentina- strong, healthy;

Diana- named after the goddess of hunting (in Persian it means “messenger of good deeds”);

The Hebrew language is also rich in beautiful names with inspiring meanings, many of which can be found in the Bible. For example, Eve literally means “life-giving” Ada means “decoration”, and Tamara- “fig tree”, a tree that served as a standard of beauty in ancient times in the Middle East. Russian empresses bore such bright names as Elizabeth, which means "God is my oath", or Anna- “graceful.” These names also came to us from Hebrew.

The most beautiful female names for children of stars

Russian stars sometimes they choose very unusual names for their daughters. This is what presenter Victoria Bonya named her daughter Angelina Letizia, and Olga Shelest named her daughters Muse, which means “thinking” in Greek, and Iris, named after the goddess of the rainbow. Director Valeria Gai-Germanika named her daughters Octavia and Severina, both of these names come from Latin. Ksenia Borodina also did not choose an ordinary name, so her daughter’s name is Thea, which means “divine.” Tina Kandelaki's daughter has the same name as her wife current president United States - Melania, and Natalia Vodianova gave her name Neva like famous river.

Foreign stars give beautiful and unusual names to their children. So, Beyoncé's daughter's name is Blue Ivy, translated as “blue ivy,” and Gwyneth Paltrow called hers Apple, that is, “apple”. Tom Cruise's daughter has a Persian name Suri, which means "red rose". Jessica Alba's daughters names are Honor(honor) and Haven(sky or safe haven). The famous British chef Jamie Oliver gave his daughters tender and romantic names. Their names are Poppy Honey(i.e. Poppy Honey), Daisy Boo(Daisy Boo) and Petal Blossom Rainbow, which translated means “Rainbow that bloomed its petals.”

IN lately There is an active borrowing of a variety of names with different origins. This is due to the desire of parents to distinguish their child from others by giving him a unique, beautiful and even exotic name. Despite the fact that each of them is beautiful in its own way, the choice of name must be approached very carefully and seriously, because names have different meanings, and from this, in turn, to some extent depends on the formation of certain qualities of the child and his character.

There is a noticeable tendency to return names that were previously popular among our ancestors, the ancient Slavs. It is also increasingly possible to meet a girl whose Russian surname is combined with a name of French or German origin.

Rare and beautiful names for girls: the most popular

Many names become dissonant for people, and they tend to choose something more beautiful. However, sound and exoticism are by no means the main criteria by which it is selected.

The most favorite and common names for girls

The list of names for girls is replenished with more and more unusual names. Some of them take root; some require more time.

Actually, this does not stop the girls’ parents, and every day you can increasingly hear on the street “Daniela”, “Jacqueline”, “Gerda” and similar names that are completely unusual for a Russian person.
