Names for boys and girls are a real challenge for parents. It happens that the name of an unborn child is invented from the day of announcing the joyful news, but it also happens that parents wait with a decision to provide information about their gender, or until the day of the birth itself. It turns out that the decision is not always good, because in adulthood this branch can show dissatisfaction. There have been cases where children have changed their names in adulthood due to the many unpleasantness they experienced during school days. Today we are going to focus on girls. These more traditional names are popular these days, but there are people who believe that an original name will give children a better start and a path of success. Are you sure?
These baby girl names were the most popular in 2021
In Poland, in 2021, traditional names were used. Those remembered by our grandmothers returned, but there were also diminutive variants of well-known names (eg Pola replaced Apolonia). The ranking of the most popular baby girl names in 2021 is provided below:
- Susanna – 3251
- Sophie – 3178
- Hanna – 3064
- Julia – 3022
- May – 2812
- Laura – 2679
- Olivia – 2377
- Alice – 2362
- Lena – 2309
- Pola – 2190
Definitely “newer” names are: Lena, Pola and Laura. The more traditional ones are Zofia and Hanna. This list, however, is not controversial.
Names to Avoid? Stereotypes are still popular
In many countries, especially at school age, children look for a certain trait to which they can stick to their peers. It is an age of comparing oneself, looking for common features and striving to be better in almost every field. This is why some people may find rare names worse or funny. The goal of parents is to make the child aware that we are all really different, and that the name is something individual that we should be proud of.
Many people view names in a stereotypical way. The former teacher did not name the child according to the name of the student who caused a lot of trouble. A given name may be associated with a character from a movie or book that you don’t like very much. It can match a celebrity or celebrity, or be considered too original. For this reason, it is better to think carefully about choosing a name for your child to make sure that they will also be happy about it in the future.
These baby names are better avoided. Be careful with the correct spelling!
It is not always the originality of the name that causes a smile on the faces of peers, as it happens that people of different origins, with different traditions and culture learn in the classroom. On the other hand, well-known names, but written in a wrong way, may seem funny. Examples include names for girls such as Dżesika, Wanesa or Dżenifer. Parents usually know the foreign pronunciation of a given name, but do not realize that in the “polonized” version it sounds … comical. Also too “old” names, such as Eleanor or Agafia, may be considered too original.
