What are the boys called? Show business news. Latest news of show business in Ukraine, Russia and the World from the online publication “ShowBiz”

Choosing a name for a child is a difficult matter, because mom wants to name one name that goes well with the middle name, dad wants to name him another, for example, what was the name of his first love, and grandparents - a third, for example, according to church calendar. So what to call a child in 2016 - a leap year, which means special? It is best to turn to the advice of astrologers, who have compiled a list of ideal names for children born in the year of the Fire Monkey.

The eastern horoscope says that babies born in 2016 will have bright and talented personalities. They will have extraordinary thinking and an inventive mind due to which they will achieve great success in both business and love fields. It will never be difficult for them to find friends, but they will trust only a few. Baby Monkeys become adults early, you can always rely on them, which is what parents often take advantage of - trusting them to take care of their younger brothers and sisters, which Monkeys do with great pleasure. These qualities are inherent in all children born in a leap year, but many characteristics also depend on their zodiac sign.

What to name your baby in 2016?

Aries. This zodiac sign does not tolerate being put under pressure, so very often in families with strict rules of behavior, children born in March-April, on the contrary, try to prove that they are right by any means, even going into serious conflict with their parents or grandparents, even in damage to their warm relationships, which are so difficult for them to achieve with relatives. Such a stubborn lamb needs to choose soft names, but without using a soft sign.

Boy: Denis, Vyacheslav, Victor, Arkady, Anatoly, Maxim, Nikolay, Sergey.

Girl: Maria, Irina, Vasilisa, Anastasia, Alisa.

Taurus. These children will be calm and balanced, enthusiastic by nature, they will be able to achieve great heights among their peers. There are many obedient children among them, which pleases parents, but this character trait will negatively affect relationships with friends and loved ones, with whom Taurus will be submissive, even when they need to be able to stand on their hind legs. To add a little toughness to his character, you need to find the right name for him.

Boy: Boris, Egor, Konstantin, Sergey, Lev.

Girl: Rimma, Arina, Daria, Tamara, Irina.

Twins. These kids are not diligent and not purposeful, so many of them rarely succeed in achieving what they want. They are romantic and loving. Geminis love their family and spend a lot of time at home with their loved ones. Carefully chosen names can add intelligence and bring these spiritual souls down to earth.

Boy: Mikhail, Ignat, Gleb, Arseny, Oleg, Dmitry.

Girl: Raisa, Elena, Lyubov, Vasilisa, Alena, Valeria.

Cancer. Children born under this zodiac sign are most often insecure individuals. They are patient and calm, inquisitive and sociable. It's easy for parents to work with them because these kids don't cause any trouble. It is better to choose “loud” and “royal” names.

Boy: Alexey, Mikhail, Vladimir, Svyatoslav.

Girl: Anna, Elizaveta, Sophia, Ekaterina, Daria.

Lion. These children often suffer from loneliness because they cannot stand being bossed around, because this is the privilege of kings, and this is exactly how they feel. If parents want to emphasize the majesty of their children, then they can be called names with an “r”; if, on the contrary, to soften their character, then with a soft sign.

Boy: Kirill, Ruslan, Roman, Ilya.

Girl: Maria, Rita, Rimma, Karina, Tatyana, Natalya.

Virgo. Hardworking, responsible, decent people are born under this zodiac sign, but the Monkey leaves some imprint on the friendly nature of the children - they can get nervous and scream if the order they created is disturbed, be responsible for their words if they consider it necessary to do so, etc., therefore, you need to choose names that mean “pacification.”

Boy: Rodion, Rostislav.

Girl: Galina, Daria, Victoria.

Scales. Children born under this zodiac sign will be lazy, dreamy and slow. They are often irresponsible, so you need to choose names that correct these character traits.

Boy: Andrey, Stepan, Grigory, David.

Girl: Irina, Arina, Pelageya, Valentina.

Scorpion. This child never sits still; he is ready to move mountains for his goal. Among the Scorpio Monkeys there are many deceivers and liars. Names for such interesting persons should be chosen in such a way as to indicate “sensitive”.

Boy: Artem, Denis, Eduard.

Girl: Natalia, Olga, Emilia, Elya.

Sagittarius. This zodiac sign, born in the year of the Fire Monkey, is perfection itself - it will clean, wash, learn, and support in difficult times. But many people are starting to ride these golden children, so we need to find names that will add a little power to them.

Boy: Stas, Ivan, Vladimir.

Girl: Varvara, Ekaterina, Euphrosyne, Maria.

Capricorn. A complex child who tries to hide it under the guise of independence. Among them there are many loners in life, although they are sociable and know how to listen and hear. Such names will suit them.

Boy: Nikita, Maxim, Kirill, Sergey, Alexander.

Girl: Anastasia, Tatyana, Bozena, Darina, Karina.

Aquarius. On the one hand, a stubborn sign of the Zodiac, who will argue to the last to prove that he is right, and on the other hand, he is flexible towards loved ones and forgives them all mistakes and mistakes.

Boy: Pavel, Yaroslav, Mikhail.

Girl: Maria, Larisa, Inna, Irina.

Fish. Children born under this zodiac sign are simply an explosive mixture - optimists who often fall into depression, activists who go into inaction for some period of time, calm ones who at one moment turn into a boiling mass, demolishing everything in its path for the sake of its goal. Top names for the Pisces-Monkeys must balance their inconstancy.

Boy: Makar, Stepan, Igor, Ilya, Anton and Andrey.

Girl: Tatyana, Svetlana, Olga, Natalya, Darina and Nika.

We present to you the rating of male names for 2016, compiled by us specifically for orientation in the process of choosing a name in the new year that has already come. In general, the past year was so colorful in terms of the name forms used that it would be simply careless not to mark it with a rating of the most popular names in Russian-speaking countries...

We collected information about the names for boys used by Russian-speaking parents and compiled a rating of the most popular male name forms.

The most popular male names of 2016

Saveliy was included in the rating a long time ago and ranks first in it. According to one version, it is interpreted as “asked from God,” and comes from a word meaning “hard work.” It was especially often used in the process of naming boys born during the reign of such zodiac signs as Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius.

Ilya - Hebrew origin has made it popular for many decades, which is surprising, and apparently thanks to which this name was included in the ranking of male names in 2016. Interpreted as “the power of God.” Data indicate that demand will continue in 2017. Capricorn is considered the ideal zodiac sign for him...

Ivan - the Hebrew interpretation, which sounds like “the mercy of God” and the unique significance of this name, continue to make it the most rated for decades. True, next year, according to astrologers, he will no longer appear in the ranking.

Sergey is a boy’s name, being a product of Latin culture (meaning “venerable”), it appeared in the ranking, and in particular, it turned out to be in demand exclusively in Russia. Slightly less common throughout the entire twelve months in Belarus. In Ukraine they decided to ignore him.

Dmitry has been included in the ranking of the most popular names for several years in a row. Its ancient Greek meaning, which sounds like “belonging to Demeter,” is ignored by many parents, and as practice has shown, the demand for it is generated exclusively by the beautiful-sounding shortened form - Dima.

Timur – after a year-long absence from the ratings, it has appeared again. Its appearance was especially dramatic in Belarus and Ukraine. Unfortunately, even modern researchers do not have accurate information about its origin. But it has excellent compatibility with many female names - apparently this was the reason for the sharp increase in demand for it.

David - despite its Hebrew origin and obvious affiliation with the faith, this year it was in demand throughout the entire post-Soviet space, both in countries with a Russian-speaking population and in Muslim states. In translation, its interpretation sounds like “beloved” or “favorite.”

Artemy - surprisingly, this time this name form is ahead of even a related one, which sounds like Artem. According to legend, it comes from “artemes” and connects the wearer with the goddess Artemis. Interesting fact– in its homeland it is practically not found, but here. Having been brought with Byzantium, it became famous for many decades.

Rostislav - ranked ninth in the Rating of the most popular names of 2016. Its shortened form, sounding like “Rostik”, apparently, starting in January, will be encountered many times more often than before. The meaning is “growth” and “glory.” It has purely ancient Slavic roots. Not found outside the territory of the former USSR.

German - entered the rating for the first time and became one of the most popular male names of 2016. Based on new data, it occurs more often in our country than in our homeland, where Latin culture once ruled. Its interpretation sounds like “native” or “real”.

Let's sum it up...

Summing up, it would be worth noting that the ratings turned out to be mainly those that did not belong to the animal that symbolized last year’s season - the Monkey. In theory, frequently used male names in 2016 Russian Federation and neighboring countries there should have been such variations as Hippolytus, Mark, Anatoly, Nicholas, Alexander, and Leonidas. However, Artem and Sergey are also on the list of adored Fire Monkeys who are retiring.

Well, next year will belong to the Fiery Red Rooster, and we will talk about what names newborn boys should be called at the time of his reign in our next article.


Almost all the time of its existence, humanity has attached great importance to the process of choosing a future name for a born son. People believed that it was important for the future role of every man. Since 2016 is also a leap year, selection should not be considered a simple task and it is necessary to approach this moment as seriously as possible.

Modern society instills the idea that a leap year is not one of those who are lucky and happy. But it is necessary to take into account that not only this factor influences the future lives of boys born in these 366 days, as well as possible further features of their character. But almost all couples expecting a baby are beginning to ask themselves the completely logical question of what to name their unborn child.

Character of children born during 2016 Year of the Monkey

In accordance with the available data of eastern horoscopes, those who will be born during 2016 will have clearly defined abilities and talents. Their character can be described as charismatic, inventive, extraordinary with a penchant for a variety of extraordinary actions, deeds, with notes of cunning.

Also, such children can be characterized as positive and purposeful, not showing laziness in educational and work activities, on whom it is possible to rely in various difficult situations that arise, finding support in them, among other things. But in some few cases, it will still be quite difficult to establish any contact; such people will even have a tendency to become a traitor.

Choosing a name

When choosing a future name, parents try to settle on one that will be able to protect and help the child throughout the years. At the same time, it should be easy to remember, sound good and, of course, be beautiful. When choosing what to call it, you should take the following tips as a basis:

First, you should find out the possible opinion of at least your closest relatives about possible naming options. Sometimes it is the proposed options that become the decisive factor in the parents’ decision.

If desired, it is possible to choose some old name that will be unusual for the current society. However, it is still worth considering that in the future it will also turn out to be a patronymic, so it is necessary to select it based on the convenience of combination with others.

Many also rely on the church version of the calendar, where someone’s name day is practically written down every day. According to some opinions, the presence of double letters in a name can give a boy two angels at once.

It is forbidden to choose the name of a deceased relative who was seriously ill or suffering, so that in the future the baby does not have a similar difficult fate.

How to choose a name by season

Now the fact of the influence of even the time of year on the further character and fate of the born baby has already been recognized as irrefutable. After all, any season can have a fairly strong impact on it. And imagining what character traits are possible in a boy depending on the time of year, it is possible to try to slightly adjust his character later.

There is an opinion that winter men are more merciless and strict. At the same time, they are usually distinguished by their ability to achieve goals using any existing available methods, keep their word, and perseverance. Therefore, to soften the character a little, it is worth choosing a more “smooth” name.

Spring men are distinguished by their inconstancy, ease of rise, and flexibility. They are often unsure of their own abilities and strengths. It is better for them to choose a more solid name.

Boys born in the fall have irrepressible energy, which manifests itself in the form of rationality, enterprise and logic. They usually have an analytical mind, a calm nature, combined with composure. They are distinguished by strong realism in absolutely all cases. They should choose more romantic names.
