I give my thoughts on the topic of childbirth, as well as the answers to these and other questions of future women in labor, in the article.
It’s all about the mood!

Attitudes affect the success of childbirth. The fact is that a woman’s attitude to childbirth is formed throughout her life. Since childhood, she hears talk about this exciting event. These can be stories about torment or about a holiday, a long-awaited joy, a test or a sacrament. Women talk differently about childbirth. But more often these are stories about …

I have been waiting for this day since the New Year, from the very Thursday when Katerina and dad went to the Christmas tree together, WITHOUT ME! And I had several hours of high in one face. And so, the day they visited the water park came. The bus was supposed to pick them up at 9 in the morning, but the day before they slipped a note under our door: not at 9and at 9:30. Good!
At 8 I picked them up, crucified them, put things together, rushed together, what to take and what not to take. I insisted that they both take insurance, the memories of a five-year-old girl who died because her mother asked for help late, and the insurance policy went on an excursion with someone, were fresh.

Since childhood, she hears talk about this exciting event. These can be stories about torment or about a holiday, a long-awaited joy, a test or a sacrament. Women talk differently about childbirth. But more often these are stories of suffering … Why do women tend to share negative impressions of childbirth? Firstly, in society there is a stereotype according to which a woman should give birth in pain. Accordingly, if you gave birth without torment and suffering, then, it seems, you didn’t “earn”, you didn’t deserve a child . .. Another reason, perhaps, lies in the female essence. The thing is…

When a child appears in the family, parents willy-nilly start watching cartoons. It would seem that it is easier to buy a disc of proven Soviet cartoons and calm down. But who said that your baby will, like you, be touched with delight, looking at the adventures of Cheburashka or Uncle Fedor from Prostokvashino? Completely different characters live in his society — supermen, penguins, cars, smeshariki and similar creatures. And if you want to understand your child, you will have to get to know them. Otherwise, he will have nothing to talk about in the sandbox and kindergarten.

Such high rates of abortions are due to the fact that most pregnancies are not planned, and the use of precautionary measures for pregnancy in the territory of the post-Soviet countries leaves much to be desired.

I know five names of girls… — Booknik.ru

Sephardim

The biggest traditionalists on this issue are religious Sephardim. They like to call children sonorously and solidly: Ovadia, Yosef, Eliezer, Rafael. At the same time, children can jump into secular life and become Didi, Yossi, Eli and Rafi …

Since there is a real problem with female names in the Torah — there are not many of them, about 4 times less than male ones — then names for girls have to be invented . Sephardim traditionally got out of the situation by referring to the movements of the soul and feelings: Nechama ( consolation ), Na and ma (pleasant), Rukh a ma ( spiritual ), Al and for ( cheerful ) — the latter, by the way, is a translation of the name Allegra, which was popular with speakers in Ladino. And, in my opinion, the most practical: Met y ka (sweet). Recently, Odai ( thanksgiving to the Almighty ) and a number of names associated with Kabbalah have been added to them, for example, Zoar, Or-El (unisex), Zoharit, Orly, and Maor (female) — they play on the word “or » (light). The names of jewels are still in use: Pnina ( pearl ), Zahavit ( gold ), Sapir ( sapphire ).

Religious

It is still fashionable for Ashkenazi Haredim to have two names at once. One might be Yiddish. Well, let’s say Dov-Ber, or Menachem-Mendl, or Chaya-Gitl. The name can sound in Ashkenazi pronunciation: Avrum-Yosl, Rivka-Rohl, Hava-Broha.

But two names are not the limit at all. Once I was visiting Bnei Brak, and the mother of the family strictly said to her five-year-old daughter:
— Fruma-Lea-Rachel, where is your brother? Is he already up? Wash him and bring him to us.
And the tiny Fruma-Lea-Rahel skipped off into the depths of the apartment, shouting joyfully:
— Dovid-Gur-Arie! Wake up! Mom told me to get up!
Needless to say, a staid two-year-old kid in a black kippah and a snow-white shirt responded only to his full name. ..

Several names are given not only in Bnei Brak or Mea Shearim. I have one friend. He is a repatriate from Paris, a professor, a former director of the Comédie Francaise, and now a settler and a Breslav Hasid, which does not prevent him from heading the theater department at the university. So, he married already at a respectable age, and became a father in the 50th year of his life. Deciding that there might not be more sons, he and his wife loaded onto the poor baby the names of all their grandfathers at once, so that no one would be offended. Heir named Yosef Nissim Chaim . Two years later, a daughter Avigail-Brakha-Khen was born in the family. And then three more children, but I could no longer remember their names.

The names of the Lubavitcher Hasidim are a special pleasure. But first, an anecdote.
Two Chabad people are talking across the ocean via Skype:
— Our son was born! The day after tomorrow — brit!
— Mazal tov! And what do you call your Shneur-Zalman?

It is clear that if everyone is around Shneur-Zalmany, then, in order to somehow distinguish them, diminutives are used: Zusya, Zusha, Zyama, and even Shneirik! And if in the same class ten people are called Menahem-Mendl, then they are called Meni, Mendik or Munya.

Naturally, many girls are called Chaya-Mushka (the name of the wife of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe). Well, one is simply called Haya, and the other is Musya or even Manya.

In Chabad they like to give girls purely Yiddish names — Feiga, Fradya, Gita. But Russians are also in use — Masha, Lyuba and even Katya. Familiar Chabad people explain: we name our daughters in honor of our beloved holy grandmothers, blessed is the memory of them . And since our grandmothers were called that, then these are Jewish names! Be quiet and don’t argue. Anything is better than calling a Jewish girl Jacqueline or, conversely, Greta.
(The latter were actually in vogue among secular Israelis about 15 years ago. But it’s really better not to argue with Chabad people).

International names

Today, frankly foreign names are out of fashion. But sometimes you need something international. For example, young parents are considering the prospect of moving to the US or Canada. It is not necessary to emigrate, there is also graduate school, post-doc or contract work. This is where biblical names come to the rescue. Jonathan will be called Jonathan in the local garden or school, David will become David, Benjamin will be Benjamin or simply Ben. Roy, Ron or Liam also sound good ( my people ).

From foreign names fashionable Maya (in fifth place in the ranking of 2012), Mia and Lily. Hebrew Shirley ( sing to me ), H e ta ( sprout ), Amalia ( people of ascension ), Keren ( beam of light ) sound good in Europe and America. In Protestant countries, the names Ruth, Sarah and Lea are still popular. If the daughter’s name is Dvora, Rivka or Rachel, she will turn into Deborah, Rebekah and Rachel abroad. (I know a full-blooded Liverpool Anglo-Saxon named Ezra A. Miller, where A is Abraham).

«Army» names

Secular Israelis have always liked to invent new sonorous names. One figure — one of the first builders of Tel Aviv, more precisely, the first houses on the sand, which would later turn into Tel Aviv — named his daughter Ahuz Bet («Second Quarter»). Then the girl grew up and asked to be written in Akhuzabet’s passport (in consonance with Elizabeth).

General and public figure Rehavaam Zeevi (Gandhi) fought in the Palmach self-defense detachment from his youth. And so he named one son — Palmach, and the second — Sayar (army officer position).

Sometimes army nicknames become official names. The same Gandhi, for example. Or Baiga (nickname of Abraham Shohat), Chita (Eliezer Cohen) or Fuad (Binyamin Ben-Eliezer). Sasha, my neighbor’s son returned from the army and said that he was called Rimbaud there. All the people are calling for Prime Minister Netanyahu Bibi, and this is also an army nickname.

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon once met with a delegation of Russian writers in the Knesset. He understood almost all questions asked in Russian, but it was easier for him to speak Hebrew. And Yuri Stern, who was then Deputy Minister, translated, starting like this:
— Arik says that…

I remember one writer asked me in a whisper:
— Is Yuri Stern such a close friend of Sharon?
— Not at all. Why did you think so?
— Well, he is his easily — Arik.
And the whole country called him Arik.

Secular and new religious

And here are the secular names invented not so long ago: Idan, Shahar, Shoam, Elad, Eliana ( G-d answered ), Reanena ( refreshing ), Liat (lit. you — to me ), Avia (lit. her father ), Einav ( vineyard ). They willingly use the names of various flowers and plants: Yasmine ( jasmine ), Dikla ( palm ), Lilah ( lilac ), Kalanit ( anemone ). There are also diminutive forms: Sigal ( violet ) — Sigalit ( violet ), Ilana — Ilanit ( tree ). Some Haredim laugh at the last name: it is also a “tree frog”.

The secular name Ela (אלה, consonant with the word “goddess”) has a high rating. This name is also used to call Ell and All who come to Israel.

However, we agreed not to consider repatriate names here in detail, especially since it seems that the time has sunk into oblivion when all the Volodyas chose the name Zeev, the Lions called themselves Arye, the Lenas became Ilans without exception, and the Lights became Orami and Liors. Today, if you live, for example, in Ashdod or Karmiel, you can safely keep your former name and not bother. Another thing is if a person returned to religion. Call yourself Benjamin-Zeev — climb into the yeshiva.

Among the baal teshuva (returned to religion) find names happen. For example, the Mountain Jews were very fond of the name Mashiach. And what? Modest and tasteful. One leader in Jerusalem was called that: Mashiach Ben-David.

Settlers

In Zionist and settler circles, topographic names that express love for Eretz Israel are popular: Golan, Dvir (one of the names of Jerusalem), Alon and Elon, Gilad; female — Kinneret, Yamit, Efrat, Ofra, Alona, Yarden.

Young rabbis living in the Jewish and Samaritan hills call their daughters Bat-Zion, Teil a (Psalm), Mori i (another name for the Temple Mount), Geula (deliverance) or even Thi i (rebirth). And the son can be called not only Yigal (deliverer), but also Ed and dya (the second name of King Shlomo). In kindergarten, my daughter had a boy in the group named Go y n.

Yes, religious Zionists love to dig up a rare name in the Tanakh, and they don’t think at all how a child can live with it later. The names of the prophets are not enough for them, the popular royal names David and Shlomo are not enough, so here you are — Issachar, Rehavaam and, in addition, Zerubbabel!

How would you tell a tiny girl to be named Schlomtzion? What about Zerubbawell? Or else — Pua. I know one very beautiful girl who could not get married for a long time. She liked Russian-speaking boys, and for some reason the mothers of these boys were nervous when they heard that the son’s girlfriend’s name was Tsrui i . ..

Still “knitted bales” love the wives of King David: Bat-Sheva, Avigail (in the top ten of last year) and the current finalist is Michal. (But the Haredim do not like this name — the biblical Michal was childless).

Some religious “want to show their education” and give the child an old name in Aramaic: Shraga (lamp), Shemaya (heaven). There is a special sophistication in this.

Entrance to the settlement of Bat Ain

But the rarest names are found in the settlement of Bat Ain, in Gush Etzion. Former American hippies live there, who were brought back to the bosom of the Jewish religion by the famous singing Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. But hippies are not completely former. Of course, they changed their uniform, but it is still the same multi-colored, on the head — three scarves at once, on the shoulders — a fringed poncho, in every house — a guitar, and flower children run around barefoot. Is it any wonder the beautiful names of their daughters: Shir a t-El (God’s Song), Adam a (Earth) or here is a girl named Eretz-Tova-ve-Yafa-Meod (The country is good and very beautiful).

This is also a kind of local tradition. Rav Carlebach himself once named his daughter Neshama-Tova-ve-Tehora-she-Yarda-le-Olam-Bein-Shmashot. What does it mean: Soul-Kind-and-Pure-That-Descended-to-this-Gloomy-World. In my opinion, the Indian Chingachgook-Big-Snake nervously smokes a pipe at our wigwams!

This beautiful woman is called Neshama Carlebach for short. So it is indicated on the posters — after all, she sings daddy’s songs with a guitar.

General trends

Today even the most traditional names are given a new look, that is, they are combined with something fashionable. This is how Yael-Khen, Rachel-Efrat or Lea-Liel are obtained.

The name Esther is a win-win in any community, it is abbreviated as Esti or These. Although today her first Jewish name is more fashionable — הדס Adas, or Adassah. In all sectors of society, the name Miriam is still popular — it is abbreviated as Miri, Mira and even Mir and tons (something like «little Miri»). In general, today many names are more popular in an abbreviated form. So, in the top of 2012, Uri is in 10th place, but the full version is almost never used — Uriel. Often instead of Yehuda — Udi, instead of Eliyahu — Eli, and Matityahu is shortened to Matti. And no one is surprised if the girl’s name is Heli (a diminutive of Rachel) or Riki (from Rivka).

The fashion for names suitable for both boys and girls began in secular circles, but has already spread to moderately religious ones. Poor nursery and kindergarten teachers! When they receive a list of children, they do not even know who is a boy and who is a girl. And you have to put marks on the fact of acquaintance: Adi — baht, Adi — ben, Gal — ben, Osher — baht.

In the past, rabbis used to disapprove of female names derived from male ones (such as Dana, Rafaela, Ariel). Now you can easily get an invitation to a wedding, where the groom is Daniel and the bride is also Daniel (not even Daniela).

Sharon + Sharon

Recently, the glossy magazine Nashim («Women», a supplement to the religious newspaper Makor Rishon) published a funny interview with newlyweds who have the same name. They have signs on their doors: “Rotem and Rotem Yaari”, “Avia and Aviya live here”. «Sharon + Sharon =

This last couple reported that in a friendly company, where the rest of the families are called by their last names — “let’s go to the Greenbergs”, “how are the Kheifets”, they are simply called Sharons (“Sharonim”).

Parents, when they want to call one of the two, also add bin and baht, just like in kindergarten.

One of the wives complained that they did not want to make an appointment with a gynecologist over the phone, confusing her with her husband (they are full namesakes). One of the husbands gets high when he is wanted to be called up for military training, because the army constantly calls his wife, who also has a military ID, but should not go to the training camp. And all of them, going on vacation, arrive at the airport an hour earlier than expected, because confusion with air tickets is absolutely inevitable, only one is always issued. And always with one explanation: “We thought that two tickets for the same name was a mistake. ”

The same-sex namesakes say that they look at the situation and themselves with humor. “Let’s immediately list the questions that we are constantly asked:

– Will you also name the child Rotem? No, let’s think of something else.
— Don’t your twins confuse you? They call us mom and dad.
– How are you recognized on Facebook? “We used to have different surnames, but now we just write together from a common account.”

How to name the child?

And what exactly are name ratings for? In order to name a child super-fashionable, so that he feels equal among equals in the children’s team? Or — in order to in no case call it that? To come up with a beautiful, unique name, to give the child the opportunity to feel like a special person from childhood?

There are adherents and opponents of both approaches. Rabbis who know a lot about Kabbalah remind: parents, you have a huge responsibility, because the name is destiny. Psychologists warn: too archaic and unusual name can lead to difficulties in communication and even cause depression in the baby. However, they add, this will largely depend on the nature of the child.

Parents can consult with grandparents, consult a rabbi, read sociological calculations — but you still have to decide for yourself. And if the child grows up and realizes that he absolutely does not like what you have come up with for him, he can change his name. Or add one more to yourself, and leave yours only in the documents. It’s OK. Choose and — until the baby has grown up — enjoy the effect produced.

In Russia, this is the ultimate language system. Because all our speech is based on the use of gender. Well, when you use pairs of words like “pop / hit” and “champion / champion” in absolutely your entire language, it is not surprising that this pattern begins to penetrate into proper names, and absolutely dominating everything else (only Lyubov managed to avoid conquering system).

In other European languages there are large clusters of female names with a vowel, but they form only two groups — these are borrowed from Greek-Latin culture (Octavia, Sophia, Maria, Victoria, Clara) and borrowed from Jewish culture (Emma, Anna, Bella) . In Latin, there was also a system of childbirth similar to Russian — Octavius / Octavia; Augustus/Augusta and so on.

As you might guess, there are just a huge number of such names in Western and Slavic cultures due to the centuries-old influence of Christianity. But at the same time, in these languages, other names will not change. Charlotte in Russian will become Charlotte, but not in other languages.

Jade, Agate, Vivienne, Carmen, Joan — will not acquire a vowel ending, because this is not typical for languages. That is, due to the influence of Christianity, female names on vowels are more common, but this is not a dominant rule, unlike the Russian language.

The Arabs also fell under this Jewish influence (more precisely, they had it mutually) — and there are also many names beginning with «-a», half of which (such as Zara or Leila) are Semitic in origin.

In India, a similar picture is also observed in the names borrowed from this Arab-Semitic porridge. But the names that are indigenous Indian — there is nothing similar in them at all. I bet that without clues among names like Surya, Aarya, Rudra, Shivani, Avi, Anvi — you will not be able to separate male names from female ones (and there are half of them here). A similar situation will be if we go through other cultures — their «native» names will be knocked out of this picture very often. The same Love, a purely Slavic name in construction, is an example of this.

In general, most of the female names that you notice just come from the same ancient region, that’s all. And we pay attention to them, in fact, simply because it so coincided with us that the rules of our language turned out to be very similar, and out of habit we begin to look for familiar forms in all names. Something like this.

, Isabelle, Patimat and endless examples for a consonant. Secondly, not only female ones — in the first declension we have many male names, both in full forms (Savva, Nikita) and in short ones (Kolya, Vasya, Slava).
Among female names, names ending in -а/я predominate, apparently because the feminine gender prevails among the words of the 1st declension in -а/я. In the original… Read more

You know perfectly well that this is not so. Or does it make sense to just touch on the topic? If so, then yes, even of course. Because the topic itself will be revealed in the comments.

This is done so that we can pronounce these names with lingering tenderness. Well, what is, for example, Scarlett? How cut. Let it be better I-ri-na. Na-ta-sha. (I don’t mean Dazdraperma).

what I know, this is far from the case. Here we have Turkish TV shows on TV, there are a lot of female names ending in consonants (Vildan, Gulsum, Nazenin, Melek, Beren, etc.) There are female names ending in consonants, and in other languages - Ingrid, Claude, Jasmine, Susan, Florence, Jennifer, Beatrice, Irene, etc.
