Is it worth giving English names to children?

It's not known what the fashion is called todayforeign names, given some of their specifics, but young moms are simply restless. Probably, they believe that the more beautiful and unusual the name of their baby will be, the smarter, more talented and successful it will grow.

The most revered among the youngestDomestic mothers are English names. His influence on the desire to call a child Jessica or Brandon is mainly based on modern cinema. After watching your favorite TV series, girls, by all means, want their son or daughter to be as "classy" as the main characters or even the actors performing their roles. For some reason, especially the love of imported "Michelle" and "Nicole" sin provincial young mothers. No wonder in this regard, even the saying has developed: "What is more motivrene mother, that angeliznete daughter."

Even in numerous women's forums, you canrepeatedly stumble upon topics where pregnant girls ask virtual friends, which English names they like most. Thus, they create something like a poll question, and they will name the future baby by that name, which will "win".

For some reason, these mummies are of little interest, aswill be combined with a foreign name with a Russian surname and patronymic. They completely ignore the fact that when the baby grows up, it is unlikely that he will say "thank you" for (suppose) Tiffany Nikolaevna Kryvozub or Gerard Grigoryevich Ptichkin. Perhaps they are sincerely sure that in the future their child awaits a dizzying career in a foreign company, where such a concept as a patronymic does not exist in nature, and nobody names by the surname anyway.
