Positive character traits of Nicholas:

• diligence;
• optimism;
• energy;
• quick wits.

Negative qualities:

• obsession;
• waywardness;
• inability to keep their emotions under control.

Kolya in childhood

Kolya is a very active and restless child who loves to play outdoor games. In the yard among the boys, he is a real ringleader and entertainer. His pranks infuriate adults, but no conversations and punishments can make the tomboy settle down. All adults can do is try to redirect the boy's energy in the right direction. By enrolling their son in wrestling, football, or a modeling club, parents will help him use his activity for development.

Kolenka is a smart and versatile little boy, he likes to be in the center of everyone's attention. In order to once again prove his ingenuity and maintain authority among classmates, he is ready to take risks and violate discipline.

Due to selfishness, stubbornness and willfulness, the little owner of this name is difficult to educate. In order to develop in the boy his inherent love of life and instill in Kolya the best qualities, parents should be patient.

Kolya teenager

In his youth, Kolya is carefree, energetic, eccentric. He tends to commit reckless acts, because of which he often gets into various troubles. This guy tries to keep up everywhere and everywhere, wanting to achieve fame and recognition of others at all costs. Nikolai does not know how to value friendship, especially since it is very difficult to be a friend of such a fickle, straightforward and selfish young man.

In my youth, Nikolai was among my friends. This guy stood out for his incredible charm, the ability to captivate, infect with an idea. If he offered to go somewhere or start something, the company simply could not resist his vigor and pressure. Friendship he both valued and neglected. On the one hand, he was always ready to listen, communicate, discuss problems, and on the other hand, being carried away, he could say a lot of nasty things and absolutely demotivate. Now, as far as I know, few of his many childhood friends keep in touch with Kolya. However, it is still interesting to communicate with him now due to the versatility of the character of this man and his charisma.

The character of young Nikolai combines authoritativeness and sociability, windiness and resourcefulness. He needs affection and understanding, which he seeks in communication with girls. Many consider Kolya a closed and controversial guy. He is practical and pragmatic, but the actions of this young man often go against the rules set by society.

How the name affects the character and fate of an adult man

Boris Khigir claims that Nikolai is a strong-willed and purposeful man, inclined to work hard. He is resourceful and reasonable, constantly generating ideas for additional income. As a leader, the owner of this name is strict and even despotic, he is able to oppress and impose his opinion on subordinates. In business, he is often guided by feelings, and not by common sense. If anything does not go according to plan, this man loses his temper. However, Kolya is quick-witted and able to admit his mistakes.

According to Mendelev, Nikolai is good-natured, serious and responsible. He sets high goals for himself, and achieves them with perseverance and endurance. This man is always true to his beliefs and principles, it is almost impossible to convince him of anything. Kolya is harsh and rude in his judgments, as he does not forgive other people's shortcomings.

Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima indicate that the energy of this name is characterized by mobility. She surprisingly combines sociability and peremptoryness, cheerfulness and rigidity, lightness and rigor. On the one hand, this gives Nikolai a contradictory character, and on the other hand, it results in the breadth of his views and the versatile interests of a man.

Pierre Rouget believes that Nikolai knows what he wants from life, and stubbornly goes towards his goal. This man is demanding of himself and others. He can be modest and delicate, skillfully hiding his true feelings. He devotes most of his time to work and business development, he practically does not have time for his personal life.

According to Pavel Florensky, the owner of this name overestimates his own importance in the lives of others. Such a man considers it his mission to patronize those for whom, as it seems to Nikolai, he is responsible. As a result, he takes on his shoulders an incredible amount of worries, under their weight he gets incredibly tired, but he does not refuse responsibility. Kolya is not able to trust fate, life, or give other people the opportunity to act independently and "stuff" their own bumps.

Talents and hobbies

For Nikolai, fruitful leisure is important. He loves to travel, go out with friends to nature and have picnics. At the same time, such a man appreciates comfort in any situation. He likes to arrange parties and organize everything so that the holiday is unforgettable.

Nikolay's career and business

Nikolai is a strong-willed and purposeful man, able to achieve success in any field. The owner of this name works hard, but he can hardly be called a workaholic. He will not devote more than the allotted time to work, because in his free time he prefers to deal with personal matters. If Kolya liked the chosen profession and brings him a decent income, he will develop in this area, gain experience, improve and achieve new goals.

Such a man can become a successful businessman. Usually he knows his business perfectly, competent in any matters. But Nikolai does not like moralizing, he prefers to make all decisions alone. Therefore, the bearer of this name does not need partner support. Thanks to discipline and prudence, Kolya is able to cope with difficulties without outside help. Often his business flourishes and brings good profits.

Health

Nicholas is distinguished by strong immunity and excellent health. But the lack of proper rest can affect the nervous system of a man. Also, the owner of this name should pay attention to nutrition and give up bad habits. Eating unhealthy foods and alcohol can lead to liver disease.

Nicholas in love and marriage

Nikolay is very amorous. Having met a girl he likes, he will not spend years courting and studying the temper of his chosen one. After a couple of dates, a man can make a marriage proposal. Kolya's life partner must be attractive, flexible, resourceful and patient, because not every girl can withstand the endless scenes of her husband's jealousy.

My father Nikolay proposed to my mother to marry him already about a month after the start of their relationship. Their marriage came as a surprise to many of my mother's friends, because most of them had not even had time to find out that she had a boyfriend. However, the family did not last long - the parents divorced a year and a half after the wedding because of the numerous scenes of the father's jealousy and his inability to control his own emotions.

Nikolay is amiable towards the fair sex, he is characterized by romantic courtship. Such a man is well versed in women, he is able to predict the desires of the chosen one. Kolya can have many hobbies, and he considers each of his ladies of the heart "the very one, the only one."

The owner of this name decides to start a family at a fairly early age, believing that marriage will help him become more independent and mature. But that's not the case at all. Married Nikolai cannot say goodbye to the habits of a bachelor life. He still has fun with his friends instead of spending time with his family. If the wife has the patience to forgive everything to her husband, such a marriage union can last a long time.

Kolya is a caring, loving husband and father. He gets along well with children, adequately provides for his family. But he also has personal hobbies that help a man to relax and unwind. Stability and harmony in relations with his wife are built only if the spouse fully satisfies him intimately. If not, Nikolai is capable of committing treason. However, he will not tolerate such a betrayal by his life partner.

Hi, friend! It's cool that you are engaged in creativity and are going to let it go to the masses =) I know this, because otherwise you would not have wondered how to come up with a pseudonym for yourself.

In this article, I will tell you about the typical mistakes that people make when choosing a pseudonym, about what exactly, in my opinion, makes a nickname cool and memorable, I will give a bonus and give examples.

But first, it would be nice to tell who I am and why I am writing an article on a similar topic. The fact is that I myself am not far from creativity, and just like you, I faced the problem of not being able to decide what to call myself. I tried about 5 nicknames for several years, and, in my opinion, settled on the best. Why I decided so, I will tell at the end of this article.

3 common mistakes when choosing a pseudonym

• The first thing I would like to talk about is that you should not choose a nickname as a pseudonym. I mean the usual nicknames that everyone had in the yard or at school, which, perhaps, passed into adulthood, and then you decide that since everyone already calls you Vantuz, then even in a creative environment you will be known as by this name. Possibly for YouTube (if you have your own channel) it would be an appropriate nickname only if you're covering some feces from the internet or worse. I don't see any other options here.

• The next item is simply called "xreNvygov0Rishhipro4iTa_eat". I think that from the title of this paragraph it should be clear what I mean. Such crap is very common among gamers, but they have their own specifics there ... At the same time, someone calls himself that in contact, uses a similar pseudonym for rap and for youtube. I have one question for such people - what kind of patience and desire to find out who the author of this “wonderful creation” should a person have in order to read (correctly!), remember, advise you to someone, and then he could easily find you in the Internet. For some reason no one thinks about it. No need to force people to strain!

• The next typical mistake is that in an attempt to come up with a super-cool and unique, memorable nickname, people completely forget about adequacy. Here are some examples of real people: a homeless person, a homosexual in the village, a vodavrot and these are not the most frostbitten yet =) When I see such names, it immediately becomes clear that a person is doing something frivolous at the level of an amateur ... there is no way to watch or listen to him desires. Yes, and not worth it.

These are the key mistakes that I was able to highlight from the crowd. I strongly recommend not to repeat them. Why? It seems to be so clear.

Now to the main question

How to choose a good nickname

There are enough options. Which one will be more useful to you, I do not know, so read on and choose what you like.

• The first and most obvious is the alias from the name. I don't know why so many people skip this option. Just look at your first and last name. Perhaps it reads and looks very cool and there is no need to change anything. You can try to write in English if you are going to make yourself known abroad. For an artist or musician, this will be a great solution ... or a designer. Denis Simachev is an example.

• Not for everyone, but as an option. Again, play with your name. Perhaps, by combining part of the name and surname, you get a good nickname. For example, not to go far, the author of this blog is also known as Deep.

• Further options are more difficult. Think about what mood your work brings, on what topics and where it is directed. Based on this, sketch on a piece of paper all the associations that come to your mind. Then either choose from what is, or you can continue the chain, but this is unlikely. Of the 3 questions, you can easily prescribe 30 options. You can choose from this. Maybe tweaked a bit to make it sound better.

• The next option takes time and experience in what you do. As I promised at the beginning, now I will tell you how I chose the last stage name for myself. My environment helped me in this, even without my participation. According to my friend, the conversation turned to me… word for word, and a new nickname is ready, sonorous and which is connected with me in meaning. I didn’t approach anyone at all with the words “help me come up with a cool nickname”, it somehow happened by itself. But again, it will most likely take a lot of time.

Mistakes when inventing a nickname (pseudonym)

They are few, but they exist. And for success in your endeavor - I advise you to use these points.

• The name should not be long. If you have more than 10 letters in one word, then you should think about another nickname.

• The next point is related to the first, but I decided to separate them. No need to make an alias more than 4-5 words. It is very inconvenient to read, write, and hardly anyone will remember the first time. But there is an exception here. I remember once watching a Comedy Battle program and there were guys who called themselves "Just a fellow traveler and you know about it." I think it's a great title for comedians. I can’t say exactly why it sounds great and is remembered, perhaps it is somehow connected with the song =)

• Should be easy to read. I wrote about this in errors and I will repeat it again. Make your name as simple and clear as possible - it will be easier for people to remember you.

• There is no dissonance between what you do and your name. It would be very strange to be called a “little pony” when you are a 35-year-old man with a mohawk who performs hard metal growling ... well, I think the example is clear.

How to choose a creative pseudonym for a girl? Try these same tips. I don't think there should be any difference.

Generators of nicknames, names and aliases - a bonus for the lazy

And now the promised bonus for those who are broke. Now there are a lot of services on the Internet that allow you to generate a nickname or a name for yourself. As a bonus to today's material, I'm throwing a list of some of them so that there is plenty to choose from. These generators are made for lazy people who don't want to think for themselves. As a rule, they all work the same way (set the required number of characters and words, press the button and get a standard and uninteresting pseudonym).

Aliases

Nickname(Greek: false name) - an invented name that a person uses in social activities instead of the name given at birth (recorded in official documents).

Most often, pseudonyms are used in literature, art, religion and the occult.

If a person becomes famous, then the pseudonym often replaces his real name. And even the person himself begins to perceive himself under a pseudonym.

They take a pseudonym if they want:

Choose a name with a certain energy (program) for success in a particular profession

Have a bright, memorable name

Change the long name to a shorter one

Hide national roots

Hide your real name to protect yourself from scrutiny

Alias ​​selection

Question:

Hello Oleg Petrovich and Valentina Vladimirovna! Help me, please, in the selection pseudonym for creative activity. I am DJing (I play music). I can't think of a creative name for myself. I really like Latin music, Latin countries, the sun, the beach, carnivals. I would like an alias from this topic. Thank you in advance. Let me know what else you need from me for your help.

With all respect, Andrew

Answer:

For those who want to choose a pseudonym, we can offer a pseudonym in three options:

Name (variant names)

Surname (surname options)

Name and surname.

Please write what set of programs (energies) your pseudonym should include:

For creative activities

For success, fame, fame

For money, business, income increase

To attract the opposite sex

For love and family

Other programs (write which ones)

A combination of several of the above programs (energies).

For example, a pseudonym for creative activity can help in creativity, give inspiration, ideas, but at the same time not bring money. Or money will come and go.

Picking up a pseudonym, focusing on only one program, is much easier. Because creativity and business at the same time is a rare combination. Creativity and fame are programs close to each other.

And also write examples of aliases that you like so that we can navigate to your taste.

Alias ​​selection

We can choose a nickname for you. This requires the following data:

Your photo (but not portfolio), without retouching. Several photos are possible.

Date and place of birth (desirable).

In what creative direction do you plan to develop.

What surnames (first names, combination of first and last names) do you like. Please write a list (10-20 options) if you have one. We will consider your options first, maybe some of them are suitable for you. If you don't have any options, we will find the options ourselves.

From which egregor to choose a pseudonym - Russian, European, etc.

Where do you plan to make a career - in Russia, Europe or others.

We will offer you at least 5 harmonious options with good programs for creativity, fame, success, career, money. If you want some other programs in the alias (other than those listed) - write.

Usually preparation of consultation takes not less than 5-7 days.

In Russian, in addition to your options, we offer our options.

Aliases in another language(except Russian) we select and diagnose only from your options.

After the consultation, you can order diagnostics of new variants, but diagnostics of new variants will be paid additionally. Therefore, before the consultation, we always ask you to send a list of your options (the more, the better), so that at least 1-2 options turn out to be successful. Therefore, if you have a desire to consider new options for a pseudonym after consultation, then you will need to pay for the diagnosis of each pseudonym.

On our site we offer a huge selection of names ...

Service prices are indicative and subject to change. Therefore, before making a translation, please first write a letter with an order for any service (consultation, diagnostics).

To understand what a new name (full name) is, let's give an example:

A person needs to participate in a car race. He wants to win. He orders a car with excellent technical characteristics, pays for the development of such a car, and receives it.

But buying a great car doesn't mean it will win the race.

First, he needs the professional qualities of a racer.

Secondly, he needs time to get used to the new car, to feel how it works.

Thirdly, professional racers who can also have good cars can participate in the race.

It is clear that a good professional racer on a bad car will not win.

But if the driver is bad, and his car is great, he will not see the 1st place either.

In other words, if a person wants to succeed in business, he must have some qualities of a businessman. If he does not have such qualities, then a new (even very successful) name will not make him a good businessman.

The name can activate and strengthen the program that the person already has. But you need to understand that it takes time to strengthen and activate the program.

Some people need a week to feel an improvement in business, while others need much more time. Maybe a year or two. It all depends on the individual experience of the person. And the name (full name) only helps or slows down.

If a person has the necessary energy (character qualities), then he himself can choose for himself a suitable name (full name) with the necessary programs.

If a person does not have the necessary qualities, then he cannot fully objectively evaluate the new name (full name) offered to him.

An inexperienced motorist cannot objectively choose the right car. He may like a beautifully designed car, but with a weak filling.

Therefore, it is advisable to seek help from professionals.
