face, will be distinguished by thoughtfulness and developed talents. Such babies can be a little withdrawn and shy. Our colleagues from Wday.ru have selected the most successful names for children born in 2023.

Girls born in the Year of the Rabbit will be cautious and friendly. To let a person close to them, they will need more time than the rest. For babies born in 2023, the names Vita, Daria, Melania, Emilia and Michelle are suitable. The names Inna, Evgenia, Sofya, Darina and Kira will also help to reveal their potential.

The coming year will not be a year of shocks. Therefore, the boys born in it will have a calm, purposeful and pragmatic character. At the same time, they should be given appropriate names — “strong”, firm and motivating for daily exploits. For example, Alexander, Leo, Nikolai, Rodion or Seraphim . The names Damir, Cyril, Gordey, Andrey and Konstantin will be favorable for the boys who will be born in the year of the Rabbit.

Recently, we have studied short and unusual names, which are also often called babies now. For example, the name Iya has Greek roots and means «violet». There is a version that the name Iya is mistakenly translated as the name of a flower, and in this context this meaning appeared in the name after the name Iya was associated with the name Evdokia. This name was borne by one of the venerable martyrs — Saint Iya (Eudokia).

This is a very rare name, since it does not contain a single consonant letter, therefore, a huge energy lies in the character of its owner. Iya is constantly full of emotions and experiences that she cannot contain. This is a very irritable and proud person. Her feelings constantly require an outlet, so she can lose her temper over any little thing. Thanks to her wonderful sense of humor, she can show her intemperance in the form of a funny joke. With age, this emotionality may decrease, but only slightly. This circumstance greatly complicates the life of Iya.

Also, many modern parents like the name Asya. According to one version, the name Asya is derived from the name Asta, which in turn is directly related to the name Astrid, and therefore, accordingly, is of Scandinavian origin. In this case, the name Asya will mean «divinely beautiful» or «passionate.» This form of the name has become more widespread outside the Scandinavian and German-speaking countries.

Girl Asya is a very humane person, she can be called an altruist, as Asya always tries to take care of someone, thinks about the interests of other people. She is capable of sudden inspirations and bursts of creativity, but Asya has to somehow link her dreams and aspirations with real opportunities, find the line between living for herself and living for the good of society. Asya’s lofty aspirations and ideals are poorly adapted to everyday reality, which gives her mental anguish and can shake her fragile nervous balance.

By the way, many celebrities prefer to give their children old and rare Russian names. For example, actress Olga Drozdova named her son Elisha , just like the hero of an ancient epic, and the former member of the Ranetki group, Natalya Melnichenko, generally gave her daughter the ancient Russian name Story (abbreviated Tale). Sergey Zhukov from «Hands Up!» named one of his sons by the old name Miron , Natasha Koroleva and Tarzan gave their son the name Arkhip . The daughter of Sergei Shnurov is called an Orthodox name Seraphim , in honor of St. Seraphim of Sarov and the archangel of the same name; the musician named his son Apollo .

The son of Oleg Gazmanov Rodion bears an old name, which a hundred years ago was almost as popular in Russia as Ivan. Do you remember Pushkin’s nanny’s name was Arina Rodionovna?

Actress Ekaterina Klimova remembered one more forgotten name — Roots — and gave it to her son. Her colleague Glafira Tarkhanova also named her son Kornei, carriers of other old Russian names also grow up in her family — Yermolai, Gordey and Nikifor . According to the actress, they specifically looked for rare names for children to indicate their individuality. After all, anyone can be Sasha or Petya, and you try to be Nikifor.

Decided to give an old name to his son and eccentric Nikita Dzhigurda. One of his heirs is called Artemy-Dobrovlad , which, apparently, means «possessing good. » True, it is not known what patronymic the children of Dobrovlad will have.
