English personal names and their abbreviations

A person’s name is an integral part of his personality, so many parents take a very responsible approach to choosing a name for their child. Every name has a unique sound and meaning, and English names are no exception. Names, like the language itself, can change over time and adapt to the norms of the language into which they are transferred or translated. English female names are beautiful in their own way. In this article you can get acquainted with the meanings of some of them.

Nowadays, there are few original English names left: many names were borrowed from Celtic, Norman, Hebrew, Greek and other cultures. Names praising the power of the gods, the forces of nature, and the individual qualities of a person’s character were common in the past. And as a result, the meaning of ancient names may be unusual for modern people.

After the arrival of Christianity in Europe, the names of biblical characters became common: Sarah, Agnes, Mary. A certain type of human activity is also reflected in the names: Abella is a shepherdess, Bailey is a sheriff’s assistant.

Sometimes a shortened version of a name becomes an independent name, for example, Victoria - Vicky; Rebecca - Becky; Angelina - Angie.

Popular English female names

Fashion is a passing and recurring phenomenon. The fashion for names is no exception. According to the UK Office of National Statistics, the most popular female names are Olivia, Emma and Sophie.

The top 10 English female names are presented below:

1. Olivia
2. Emma.
3. Sofia
4. Eve
5. Isabel
6. .Miya
7. Charlotte
8. Emily
9. Harper
10. Abigail

The entertainment industry, and specifically cinema, also has an impact on the popularity of names. Thanks to the Game of Thrones series, the following names have become popular among the British: Arya (24th place in the ranking of popular female names in Great Britain in 2014), Sansa, Brienne, Catelyn and Daenerys.

The name Isabella was given new life by the heroine of the Twilight saga, Bella Swan.

At first glance, the name Hermione seems outdated, but thanks to the film adaptation of the Harry Potter book series, this name seems to have acquired a “second life.”

The status of the bearer of the name also affects the prestige of the name itself. According to the results of a survey conducted in Great Britain, the most and least “successful” female names were identified among the residents of Foggy Albion.

The most successful female names

1. Elizabeth
2. Caroline
3. Helen
4. Olivia
5. Amanda

Less successful female names

1. Julia
2. Emily
3. Katie
4. Lucy
5. Lisa

As we can see from the above results, the full forms of the name sound more aristocratic and sublime, which gives weight to their bearers, while simpler names are associated with “simpler” girls. Despite the fact that Lisa is a shortened form of the name Elizabeth, nevertheless, the full form of the name took the leading position in the ranking, while the shortened form is not popular.

Before looking for beautiful names for cats, keep in mind that the name for a British kitten should be soft, not harsh on the ears, go well with the color of the British cat, and also reflect its aristocratic British nature.

In the previous article “How to name a British kitten for a girl,” I gave names for cats in Russian, and today I bring to your attention Names for cats in English (Female cat names, girl kitten names) .

Allin	Bird

It is likely that the unusual sound of the name, its meaning and cacophony are the reasons for the rare use of the name. However, the combination of euphony and meaning in no way guarantees the popularity of the name in the modern world. For example, the original English name Mildred, in different sources means “noble” or “gentle strength,” despite its euphony and meaning, is not popular today.

What to do when there is no analogue? Transliteration of names

As we said earlier, transliteration is a way of transmitting names written in Latin using Cyrillic and vice versa using a special transliteration table. There are no unambiguous options for transmitting English letters to Russians and vice versa, so you can see variants of spelling of the same name. In order not to get confused and, above all, not to confuse you, we will accept today’s standards for filling out international passports as the correct option.

All you need to do is find each letter of your name on the tablet and write it in English letters one by one. And, voila. You can, with well-deserved pride, fill out, as it turns out, such a simple line in the form on an English-language website - “My name in English.”

Unusual names of celebrity children

Unusual names among ordinary people are quite rare, because when choosing a name for a child, parents try to choose a name that is attractive, in their opinion, without risk to the unborn child.

To attract attention to their person, celebrities do the opposite, because a child’s name is another way to stand out. But can the exclusivity of a name compensate for its meaninglessness?

Such inventors include:

1. Bruce Willis. Name your youngest daughters after horses? No problem, because the horses won the race! This is exactly what Bruce Willis did, naming his youngest daughters after his favorite horses that won at the races - Scout Larue and Tallupa Bell.

2. Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple (Russian for “apple”). The actress's favorite fruit? It is not that simple! The girl's name is associated with the biblical legend of the paradise forbidden fruit.

3. 50 Cent. “Grant” a child a title by means of a name? Why not...yes! Rapper 50 Cent named his child Marquis. But Marquise is a boy. A good way to develop self-respect, indifference to other people’s opinions and fortitude in a child.

4. Singer David Bowie picked up the baton and named his son Zoe (a female name). Only because he thought the combination of Zoe Bowie was funny.

5. Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Blue Ivy, or Blue Ivy, is the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The star couple justified their choice of name with excerpts from Rebecca Solnit’s novel, where the color blue gives “beauty to the whole world.” And the word Ivy is similar to the Roman numeral IV, with which many events in the singer’s life are connected.

6. 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. Perhaps the combination of parts of a relative's name guarantees happiness for the child?

7. Frank Zappa. American rock musician Frank Zappa named his daughter Moon Unit. (Lunar Satellite). Isn't the desire to be a musician a good reason for choosing a child's name?

8. Christina Aguilera. The music of summer rain... Let it sound in your daughter’s name too! Singer Christina Aguilera, not wanting to give her daughter a banal name, simply called her “Summer Rain”.

In modern cinema you can really find masterpieces that you want to immortalize in names. Why limit yourself to a flight of fancy that does not go beyond the names of your favorite characters? Let's expand the boundaries by using ordinary words that are not proper names. Khaleesi, a new female name, a tribute to “Game of Thrones”: (Khaleesi is the title of one of the heroines of the series, synonymous with queen or queen). Today in the real world there are already 53 girls with this name.

There are no limits to human imagination, so it will not bypass names either. Over time, we will definitely find out which of the new names will take root and become loved, and which will soon be forgotten.

Let's sum it up

Names in any language are a very interesting topic, it is connected with the history of peoples, with the biography of famous people, with the sacred meaning of the name. And how interesting it is to find out foreign analogues of names that have been heard since childhood, and even more so their diminutive variants. I hope you read the article carefully and noticed that the famous sheep Dolly, oddly enough, is actually Dasha, and Jack, who built the house, is none other than Ivan?

In any case, how to spell a name in English is the first thing you need to know when you plan to visit a foreign country or fill out a registration form on an English-language website. I think you will never have problems with this again.
