Wie selbstverständlich sprechen Schwangere allerdings bereits vor der
Geburt von ihrem Kind, ihrem Baby. Und verleihen ihm – ebenfalls ziemlich
selbstverständlich – Namen, wenngleich diese nicht aus dem üblichen Anthroponyminventar
stammen (müssen). Dass soziale und biologische Geburt nicht
zwingend als aneinander gekoppelt verstanden werden, zeigen soziologische
Untersuchungen: Stefan Hirschauer und Anika Hoffmann sprechen davon,
dass die „Formierung der Person“ (Hirschauer et al. 2014: 168) bereits pränatal
beginnt. Und ein Zeichen des Personseins ist die Verleihung eines Namens: „Personennamen
stehen für die soziale Existenz einer Person“ / Sociological research has revealed that naming foeten during pregnancy
is a marker of social existence. It shows that social birth has been
decoupled
from biological birth. This article deals with the linguistic description
of so-called
prenatal names. The aim is to provide an overview of the naming
process and the usage, form and function of these names. The very great formal
diversity of prenatal names is due to the fact that they are unofficial and
without obligation. Names based on an anthroponym (e. g. Anne, Pepe, Thomas)
are used as well as names constructed without any reference to potentially
official names (e. g. Bauchzwerg, Hummel, Es). Addressing the fetus and talking
about it are clearly essential needs experienced by parents if they already
conceptualize the fetus as an individual baby. The naming process also establishes,
consolidates and represents a relationship characterized by affection
and emotional closeness between the parents and the unborn child.
