Idiot baby names. The strangest baby names in Russia. Non-standard names may be prohibited

An innocent baby is born. His parents give him a name that will accompany him to the gravestone. Scientists estimate that a person hears his name approximately 1.5 million times in his life!

The mystery of the name

The ancients attached great importance to a person's name. They believed that character, inclinations, talents, health and further fate child. Therefore, sometimes children were given the most strange names, which you can imagine: Oak, Eagle, Snake, Lubomir, Chaste, He who brings good news, Bright, Like a lion and many others.

Modern astrologers represent a whole science of meaning and their influence on karma. They claim that a name can carry both a blessing and a curse.

The hidden influence of a person’s name on fate is also confirmed by scientists, explaining this by the fact that it consists of sounds of a certain height that irritate significant areas of the brain, thus influencing both the bearer of the name and those around him. In addition, the wavelength of sound vibrations corresponds to a certain color, which means that the name is not black and white, but has a certain color, which also affects the character of its owner.

Unusual male names in the USSR

The strangest male names appeared during the USSR. In those years, ideology played a huge role, so patriotic parents abandoned the old bourgeois names. They celebrated their sons with neologisms born of the October Revolution, successes Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorable professions: Potassium, Tungsten, Comrade, Median, Steam Locomotive, Decembrist, Atheist, Tankman and others.

But the parents showed real creativity when they came up with names derived from slogans, revolutionary calls, party leaders: Arvil (the army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Vedlen (the great deeds of Lenin), Kukutsapol (corn is the king of the fields), Vist (the great historical power of labor), Villur (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved his Motherland), Papir (party pyramid), Vors (Voroshilov’s riflemen) or Delezh (Lenin’s deeds are alive) and many others. The people's imagination was inexhaustible!

Some of the strangest boy names even sound indecent. U modern people they evoke interesting associations: Vil (Vladimir Ilya Lenin), Zapor (for order), Pervsovstrat (the first Soviet stratospheric balloon), Thief (Great Pofivstal (fascist winner Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin).

Children in the USSR wore these strange names proudly. Over time, the pathos of the era subsided, but new generations still remained marked by history, which was already embodied in the unusual and sonorous patronymics of the children of those who were called, say, Osdvar (special Far Eastern army) and Roblen (born to be Lenin).

Unusual female names in the USSR

Girls were also awarded sonorous names in the style of the era. They were proudly named: Omega, Drezina, Iskra, Tractorina, Stalin, Artak (artillery academy), Velira (great worker), Lagshmivara (Schmidt camp in the Arctic), Gertrude Dinera (child new era) or another variant of Doner (daughter of the new era), Krarmiya (Red Army), Lapanalda (Papanin camp on an ice floe), Raitiya (district printing house), Bestrazheva (Beria - guardian of the revolution) and others.

They sound somehow inconvenient to the modern ear female names 20s of the USSR - Dazdrasmyga (long live the bond of city and village) or, as an option, Dazdraperma (long live the first of May) or Nikserkha (Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev).

I wonder what all these names sounded like in their diminutive form?

There are many amazing male names in the world

There are lovers of creativity in all countries of the world. The desire to stand out from the crowd, to be considered an original, to express oneself pushes parents to give boys the strangest names:

Lennon - named his son Lazma Gellacher in honor of the famous John Lennon.

Gulliver is the name of G. Oldman's son.

Homer - Richard Gere named his heir in honor of the ancient Greek philosopher.

Dandelion is the name of Keith Richards' son.

Blue Angel is a strange name given by Dave Evans to his boy.

Jet is not a nickname, it is the legal name of John Travolta's son.

Ocean - decided that this name would make his son strong like the ocean. By the way, dad’s name is translated into Russian as “forest.”

Pilot Inspector - this name is in honor of the hero famous song worn by a descendant of Jason Lee.

Hurray - Alex James optimistically and joyfully named his newborn son.

Baby - David Duchovny gave such an affectionate name to his son. But the son has grown up and is reluctant to respond to him.

It’s interesting that the strangest names in the world are given to their children by star parents, while among others they are popular traditional names- Jack, Sam, Nick, Tom and William.

Female names of the world that cause surprise and even bewilderment

Little Trixie is the name of Bob Geldof's daughter.

Apple - Gwyneth Paltrow also named their beauty.

Hazelnut - Julia Roberts meant something when she gave this original name to my daughter.

Honey Blossom - this is the name Bob Geldof gave his little princess.

Bell-Madonna - Jerry Halliwell named her daughter with this unusual double name.

The Goddess of Love names her heir Lil Mo.

Heavenly - Michael Hutchence named his daughter in the spirit of the American Indians.

Ireland is the heiress of Alec Baldwin.

Not all of the strangest female names in the world are listed. Original parents christen their children with the names of celestial bodies, cities, states and countries, books, movies and cartoon characters, names of flowers, trees and animals.

These are truly the strangest names!

The most long name on the planet consists of almost 1500 letters. It takes a full 10 minutes to read. Before this, the longest name belonged to an American woman and consisted of 598 letters.

A Hawaii schoolgirl's 102-letter name could not be written down in the class register.

The well-known Picasso lost. His full name consists of only 93 letters!

The American Jackson couple loves their children very much. This is probably why they gave them the names Tonsillitis, Laryngitis, Meningitis, Appendicitis and Peritonitis.

Another couple named their daughters Wu, Gu, Mu.

The ideological Jennifer Thornburgh took the name “End Dissection” at the age of 19.

The strangest names in Russia

Officially, from 2009 to 2012, the following were registered that Russians gave to their offspring:

For boys: Azar, Andres, Aristarchus, Garib, Gus, Mahmudahmadinejad, Prahlada (yes, that’s the boy’s name), Cassper the Beloved, Luke-and-Happiness, Arkhip-Ural, Hero, Aladdin, Ogneslav.

For girls: Russia, Zhuzha, twins Zita and Gita, Viagra, Privatization, Angel Maria, Princess, Queen, Juno, Joy, Fun, Almaza, Brilliantina.

Choosing the right name

Parents' vanity can result in serious problems in life for a child. A child can become an outcast among his peers, resulting in all sorts of complexes and nervous breakdowns. All this imposes great responsibility on parents who choose a name for their baby.

Psychologists advise:

Take into account the sound of the name along with the patronymic.

Do not give children obligatory names: Count, Strongman, Beauty, etc.

Don't name your children after your favorite heroes. The name Harry Potter or Monster High is unlikely to appeal to an older child.

It is not advisable to give children names historical figures. Names such as Napoleon or Pinochet may not be greeted very favorably by society.

Abroad, there is a linguistic name verification service. Experts check that the planned name for the child sounds decent in other languages ​​of the world.

All parents, without exception, long before the birth of their baby, went through a huge number of names in order to find something worthy for their newborn child, and this has always been the case. But often potential mothers and fathers go through not only well-known names, but also the most unusual Russian names, among which there are a huge number unknown to the world and little-known even in our Russian society.

Well, in our next article we just want to talk about what the most unusual Russian names exist, and which of them were in demand in the territory of modern Russia...

Male unusual Russian names

In general, there are many strange names, in particular Russian ones. But be that as it may, the strangest Russian names, male and female, appeared precisely during the existence of Soviet Union. Then name forms were invented by everyone who needed it, and this was done according to the simplest scheme- a child was born, and a name was invented for him, dedicated to the date of his birth. The name of such a child could be a combination of several words, or even several surnames of famous celebrities.

In addition, the most unusual Russian male names were then neologisms; babies born were named after October revolution, in honor of Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorable professions and everything that could come to mind to the Soviet man. This is how children were born, who were given such strange Russian variations of names as Potassium, Wolfram, Decembrist, Median, and even Tankman.

Today, unfortunately, you will no longer meet people named in this way, but this is only because at one time there was a period when people largely changed their names to the most famous, more common ones.

Returning to main topic. I would like to note that the strangest name forms were created not according to the previously discussed scheme, but according to a different one - the present folk art was manifested in moments of revolution, on the basis of slogans and appeals, for example. For example, there are such Russian variations as:

- Arvil - stands for “Army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin”;

— Kukutsapol – “corn” plus “king of the fields”;

— Whist – the historical power of labor is great;

- Villur - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved his Motherland;

— Papir is a party pyramid.

Or in those days they could call a boy even, not just an unusual, but a completely strange and even unpleasant name. Such nominal variations include Vil, Constipation, Pofivstal and others.

Strange name forms for women

Unusual and strange female names exist even today - girls were called by strange names much more often, but most of them were still beautiful despite their strangeness. So, to this day there are such variations as;

— Dinera is a child of the new era;

— Velira – great and working;

- Artaka - artillery academy;

— Donera is the daughter of a new era.

In general, even the most unusual names were not a novelty then, no one was surprised by this, but what is much more interesting is that girls in some regions of our country are called variations of the past even today. So, five years ago, in one of the remote regions, a girl’s name was found that sounded like “Dazdrasmyga”, and this, whatever one may say, is a Soviet variation, which stands for “long live the bond of city and village.”

Modern most unusual female and male names

IN modern times There are also newly created unusual names, both for women and for men. So, here are the most interesting and at the same time stupid ones:

- Yausyauh - I'm tired, I'm leaving;

- Vlaput - Vladimir Putin;

- Vsepod - all scum;

- Vinovoda - in honor of Novodvorskaya;

- Ganju - in honor of Gennady Zyuganov;

— Porof is a disgrace to Russian football.

And there are also such unusual variations as Dogzeb, Valino, Vovviko, Ganju, Gazyuga, Irmukha, Yavliga, Makahod, and Yumluzh. All these names really exist, and the owners of some of them still live with these names. But this is in Russia, and as for the West, the era of invented names is completely progressing there. So, for example, in the USA, children are named after stars, both sports and pop, film actors and presidents, and naturally, they simply come up with them based on various personal motives.

On the disadvantages of rare and unusual names

Researchers for a long time in turn, studied such names and came to several interesting conclusions. The main one of these conclusions indicates that all the most unusual Russian male and female female names endowed with strong energy, one on which the entire life of the named person will depend in the future - a rather interesting factor.

The second factor indicates that if the name form of a boy or girl is too strange, the child will feel defective and inferior all his life, which will accordingly affect his psychological state and self-confidence.

Well, the third, but no less important factor, talks about the meaning of the name, which in turn is simply absent in such names - that is, the influence of astrological symbols, such as the patron planet, element, and even the talisman stone is lost.

North Carolina resident Jennifer Thornburg changed her name to her Internet address for ideological reasons. Now the 19-year-old girl's name is CutoutDissection.com - “putting an end to dissection.”
So, in Sweden there lives a boy named Oliver Google. His father, who has a PhD in search marketing, decided to name his child after his favorite search engine.
Last name of 102 letters
In Spain this year it was decided to hold the first ever
This is all due to the fact that in the first years of the 19th century, when Huerta del Rey was a tiny village, when the eldest child in the family died, it was customary to transfer his name to the youngest, and so on ad infinitum... As a result, a lot of namesakes appeared.
The secretary of the local government decided to carry out reforms in order to avoid confusion, including in the transfer of inheritance rights, inventory of property and delivery of correspondence. Therefore, on birth certificates, he began to assign names to children from ancient martyrologies. There was no more confusion, but the village was flooded with namesakes of citizens and senators Ancient Rome. The population of Huerta del Rey numbers 900 people, the names of three hundred of them cannot be called familiar to Spain - Sicily, Geronides, Burgundonfora or Filogonia. “Our district may well become a reference for any study of the etymology of rare names,” says José Angel Sebastiano, the initiator of the forum.
A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain. Few people know that the famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name is Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Maria de los Remedios Crispin Crispignano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
The title of the area where residents are given the most unusual names, with the village of Huerta del Rey disputes the Kandhmal region of India. Its residents greet each other something like this: “Hello, Two Kilos of Rice!” or “Hello, Silver Dollar!”. There is also a guy named “I love potatoes.”
By the way, the longest name in the world is borne by an Indian named Brahmatra. It consists of 1478 letters, representing a series of names merged together historical places, names of famous diplomats, theologians, scientists, etc. It takes at least ten minutes to read it.
In comparison, the full name of Miss S. Ellen Georgiane Ser-Lecken from Montana in the USA is very short. The first letter C is the beginning of the name, which consists of only 598 letters. But for the sake of brevity, her relatives still call her Snowwool or simply Oli.
And she entered one of the schools in the city of Honolulu on the Hawaiian Islands youngest daughter owner of one of the local restaurants. Her first and last name consist of 102 letters. The name Napu Amo Hala Ona Ona Aneka Wehi Milestones Ona Hiwea Nena Wawa Keho Onka Kahe Hea Leke Ea Ona Nei Nana Nia Keko Oa Oga Wan Ika Wanao translates as “the numerous beautiful flowers of the mountains and valleys begin to fill the length and breadth of Hawaii with their fragrance.” They were never able to include it in the class magazine.
Psychologist John Train gives examples of the most awkward names among Americans. So, the Mai family from New Orleans chose the names for their daughters: Mu, Wu, Gu. And the Jackson family from Chicago named their children Meningitis, Laryngitis, Appendicitis, Peritonitis and Tonsillitis.
IN Latin America Parents love to give their children exotic names. A quick look through the Venezuelan phone book reveals names like Taj Mahal Sanchez, Elvis Presley Gomez Morilo, Darwin Lenin Jimenez and even Hitler Eufemio Mayora.
In Ecuador, the civil registry office even refuses to issue documents to persons with extravagant or offensive names. Among the “masterpieces” invented by the inhabitants of the province of Manabi, where many of these Ecuadorians live, there are Super Strong Cement, Sports Cavalcade, Hard Football Victory, Chicken Paw and International Conflict.
However, some are even less lucky with a name - two hundred years ago in France there lived a family completely devoid of a surname. Instead, it was called a set of numbers - 1792. And four sons in this family bore the names of the months of the year. In the passport and other documents it looked like this: January 1792, February 1792, March 1792 and April 1792. Last representative of this strange family, Mr. March 1792, died in September 1904.
Birthday Hurray
Among the most bizarre names given to the children of stars is, for example, the daughter of American rock musician Frank Zappa, whom the legendary father, in a burst of inspiration, named Moon Unit.
Daughter of Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow and British singer Coldplay Chris Martin's name is Apple. Perhaps in honor of the Beatles record label, or perhaps New York, which is also called Big Apple. Geronimo - the name can be translated as the exclamation “Hurray!” - the son of the bass guitarist of the British four-piece Blur Alex James, Heavenly Hirani Tiger Lily - heavenly tiger lily - only daughter INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence and TV presenter Paula Yates. The son of “Rolling” Keith Richards has a strange name, his name is Dandelion - Dandelion.
Bono's (U2) son's name is Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q - untranslatable Irish folklore. And the child of the U2 guitarist is called Blue Angel, which means “blue angel”. Victoria and David Beckham named their first child Brooklyn, after the place where he was conceived.
So called
But there were also Dazvsemir - “Long live the world revolution”, Dotnara - “Daughter of the working people”, Lengenmir - “Lenin - the genius of the world”, Leninid - “Lenin’s ideas”, Lorierik - “Lenin, October Revolution, Industrialization, Electrification, Radiofication and Communism“, Leundezh - “Lenin died, but his work lives on“, Pofistal - “The winner of fascism Joseph Stalin“, Pyatvchet - “Five-year plan in four years!”, Uryurvkos - “Hurray, Yura in space!”, Perkosrak - “ First space rocket" and many others.
New realities - new names. In Nizhny Tagil, parents named their daughter, who was born on Independence Day 2002, briefly and clearly - Russia. Another married couple from this city named their daughter Privatization.
An unusual name is registered in the registry office of the town of Korolev near Moscow - Viagra. Happy parents- driver Nikolai and housewife Anastasia explain their choice for three reasons. The first of them is the beauty and originality of the name, the second is that the drug of the same name contributed to the long-awaited conception of a child, and the third reason is the long-standing love for the group “VIA Gra”.
And this year, the list of Russian names was replenished with one more, when Russia was gripped by goosemania in June. After the Russian national football team reached the semi-finals of Euro 2008, a newborn child was named in honor of the team's head coach Guus Hiddink in the village of Bolotnoye, Novosibirsk region - seven years later in one of the local school will go Gus Evgenievich Gorodnikov. And in the city of Artemovsky Sverdlovsk region On Sunday night after the end of the Russia-Holland match, Gus Vyacheslavovich Khmelev was born.

Every parent dreams of their child being something special. And what could better emphasize this very feature than a name? So every year children appear in Russia with a variety of strange names. Fortunately, the flight of parental imagination has recently been restrained by a presidential decree of May 1, 2017, prohibiting the use of numbers, symbols, obscene language, job title or title in a name.

There was an assumption that the ban would also include compound names, as well as abbreviated names. However, legislators did not tighten the screws and, since many similar names came into practice, they left this situation as it is.

10. State of mind

Opens the list of the most unusual names in Russia female name Joy. Loving parents gave their daughter one of the most beautiful and unusual female names. It is interesting that in neighboring Slavic countries, female names with the root -rad- are common and do not surprise anyone. Joy has “sisters”: Delight, Golub, and "brother" Gift. All these names were once common in the past, but have now been forgotten.

At the same time, the names Faith, Love, Nadezhda are still encountered (although not very popular) and do not cause surprise, but they also denote feelings.

However, there are parents who, in an effort to name their child more original, do not stop at just the expression emotional state. In 2010, employees of one of the capital's registry offices had to register a boy with the name Luke-Happiness Summerset Ocean.

9. What I see, I sing about

Sometimes parents turn to the world around them for inspiration. Some options are quite euphonious, for example, Angara, Yenisei, Moon, April.

Whale, Ocean and Oceana look more exotic, but the construction “common name” plus “geographical object” looks very strange, for example, Arkhip-Ural.

Female names sound beautiful and even affectionate Sofia-Solnyshko And Zarya-Zaryanitsa.

But there are also names of Russian children that use the names of foreign rivers. In 2000, a baby was born, who was given the name Nikolai-Nikita-Nil.

8. Look to nature for inspiration

And if there are not enough geographical objects, plants and animals are used. The name Rose is now unlikely to surprise anyone, because there are much rarer options.

Popular name Dolphin– it is present in both masculine and female version. There is also Fox, Panda, Iris, Cherry, Tulip and even (one of the strangest male names) Lettuce. How will you live in further person With such an exotic name, the parents did not seem to think twice about it.

7. The power of numbers

If you take the most ordinary name and double it, then suddenly something bright and even, dare we say it, exotic appears in this name. Apparently, these thoughts were guided by the parents who gave their daughter the name Polina-Polina. After all, Polina alone is so boring! And two are much better.

Or here Sasha-Alexander, Same good option. What if someone doesn’t realize at first that it’s a boy in front of them, so the middle name will immediately clarify this.

6. You can’t forbid living beautifully

Well, how can you not give your child the most unusual name for a girl, embodying all the parents’ longing for a luxury that is inaccessible to them? This is how they are born Princess Daniella and her sisters in spirit, Princess Angelina And Alice-Nefertiti. You can also hint at the child’s future successes by simply calling him Millionaire, Graph, Prince or Prince.

Parents more modestly limit themselves to adding something original to an ordinary name - of course, with a hyphen, because everyone knows that double names more beautiful than usual. For example, Dmitry-Amethyst, Matvey-Rainbow or Alena-Flower.

5. Unconventional values

It's nice to have a little supernatural creature next to you in the stroller (even if it's still wet diapers and drooling). Starting from Angel and Seraphim and ending with the whole Buddha-Alexander.

But the Perm couple Menshikovs, belonging to the Satanist sect, made an even worse number and named their son Lucifer. When the registry office workers tried to dissuade the parents from their idea, they explained that Lucifer is “a symbol of self-sufficiency and protest.” It encourages individuality, which means the name carries a positive meaning.

So far, Lucifer Konstantinovich does not show demonic nature in anything. Like mere mortals, he was cutting teeth, not fangs, no horns, and happy parents stood in line for kindergarten.

Recently married couple a second baby was born. At first they wanted to call him Lestat, in honor of one of the book vampires, but then they called him simpler, Voldemar.

4. Interests and hobbies

Parental interests are another source of the strangest baby names. Recently, in the registry office of one of the cities near Moscow, parents wished to give their daughter a name Viagra. The reason is a long-standing and mutual love for this group.

And there are babies in Russia Jazz And Chelsea. It’s immediately clear what parents are interested in, right?

3. There is no such thing as too much patriotism

It happens that patriotic delight is so tight in your chest that you want to pour it out on everyone who comes to hand. That’s how, in 2014, a girl with the name was born in the Buryat city of Kyakhta Russia. At the same time, even the wife dissuaded her husband from such a decision, but he remained firm.

And there's also a boy Crimea and a girl Syria. And even Tagil and Sevastopol.

Crimea was named after the reunification of the peninsula of the same name with Russia. His parents affectionately call him Krymchik, Krymushka, and sometimes Crimea is ours.

The name Tagil is given in honor of the city in which the child was born. The registry office employees asked my father to think about it, but he was adamant. He stated that the word “tagil” translated from Mansi means “a lot of water.” How this will help the boy in the future is still unclear.

But what guided the parents Sevastopol- We do not know. Perhaps they were inspired by the same motive as the parents of Crimea.

2. Have an idea

Here the Muscovite intellectuals have already distinguished themselves by wishing to name their son BOCh rVF 260602. This scary-looking abbreviation simply stands for: “ biological object “person” of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002».

The name is not simple, but ideological, arising from the father’s love for science fiction and robots. Common names, in his opinion, progress is being hampered, but the name of his child fully corresponds to the lofty idea of ​​​​the development of science and technology.

True, at the registry office the little people turned out to be ignorant and did not register the child with that name. Therefore, his parents had to apply for an international passport for him. Anyone can get it, and a document is issued called “passport of a citizen of the world” non-profit organization World Service Authority. Her office is located in Washington.

After reaching the age of 14, the child will most likely be recorded in the passport as Boch Frolov. For parents, this is a forced formality, and the son is already accustomed to this abbreviation of his very long “robot” name.

1. International situation

And the list of the strangest names for children in Russia is topped by political names. Popularity of the current Russian leader made some parents want to name their offspring... no, not Vladimir Vladimirovich, but Putin. Just Putin.

Putin recently got a brother Shoigu and soul sister Medmiya(short for Dmitry Medvedev).

Other parents of the same mindset do not dare to aspire to great things, preferring to name their children after political events. This is how they were registered Vyborina And Shosina(from the SCO - Shanghai Cooperation Organization) are certainly one of the most unusual female names on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Fortunately, any person who has become a “victim” of their parents’ creativity has the opportunity to change their name to a more “boring” one, but one that is familiar to the ears of others. To change your name yourself, you must be 14 years of age and (with written permission from your parents) contact your local civil registry office. They will tell you how to write an application for a name change and what documents you will need to collect for this. And after 18 years of age, written permission from parents is not required to change the name.

According to the Moscow Civil Registry Office, Alexander is the leader among the most popular male names in 2017. The name Mikhail is slightly less popular, and Artem closes the top three.

When it comes to the most popular names for girls, the top three have remained unchanged since 2015. The first line is occupied by the name Sofia, the second belongs to the name Maria, and the third is Anna.

Both foreigners and stars are distinguished by originality

This year, more than 101 thousand babies were born in the capital, last year 134.5 thousand, in 2011 - 125 thousand. Most often, parents chose such names for their sons as Artem, Alexander, Maxim, Ivan, Mikhail, and for girls - Sofia (Sofya), Maria, Anastasia, Daria, Anna. But from year to year there are also parents who want their heirs to have a name that no one else will have. The list of the most original names was compiled by Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

In Moscow, boys were called Dmitry-Amethyst, Matvey-Rainbow, Nikolai-Nikita-Nil, Count, Gift, Ivan-Kolovrat, Mercury, Kantogor-Egor, March, Christamrirados, Prince, Prince, Cosmos, Angel, Wind, Will, Dolphin, Yaroslav-Lyutobor, Ilya Bogodar, Kasper Beloved, Arkhip-Ural, Eremey Patron, Keith, Luke-Happiness, Summerset Ocean, Monono Nikita, Ogneslav, Buddha-Alexander, Mister, Peace.

The girls were given the following non-trivial names: Uslada, Polina-Polina, Goluba, April, Cherry, India, Princess Daniella, Rosiyana, Russia, Zarya-Zaryanitsa, Luna, Lyalya, Angel Maria, Lunalika, Princess Angelina, Alyosha-Kaprina, Oceana, Joy , Alena-Flower, Delphine, Fox, Radostina, Sofia-Solnyshko.

According to the head of the Moscow Civil Registry Office, most often an exotic name awaits a child in a family where one of the parents is a foreigner.

Residents of the Moscow region are less creative with non-standard names. So, according to statistics for the last three years in the Moscow region, the boys were called: Anikey, Ion, Ermak, Lukilianne, Hoan, Altair, Andre, Prince, Yakub, Jason, Julius, Daniel. Girls: Zemfira, Cassandra, Esther, Zabava, Kupava, Ustina, Avdotya, Consuelo, Bereza, Cassiopeia, Madonna, Roksolana, Malina, Mercedes, Bagheera.

An unusual name is registered in the registry office of the town of Korolev near Moscow - Viagra. Happy parents, driver Nikolai and housewife Anastasia, explain their choice for three reasons. The first of them is the beauty and originality of the name, the second is that the drug of the same name contributed to the long-awaited conception of a child, and the third reason is the long-standing love for the VIA Gra group.

In Russian registry offices in the last three years such names as Zhuzha, Tulip, Lettuce, Millionaire, and Air Traffic Controller have been registered.

According to the American Pension Fund, every year hundreds and thousands of children with unusual names are registered in the United States: Eros, Charisma, Lancelot, Lexus, Fantasia and even Messiah. Thus, over the past two years, more than 1,000 Messiahs have been registered.

After the October Revolution in Soviet Russia It was fashionable to give children the most unimaginable names. In the dictionary of Russian personal names, authored by Nikandr Petrovsky, you can find the following popular names that era: Electrification, Revolution, Decree, Smychka, Tractor, Algebrina, Turbine, Diesel, Railcar.

It happened that girls were called Dazdraperma (from the slogan “Long live the First of May”), Revdit (“Child of the Revolution”), Pofistal (“Winner of Fascism Joseph Stalin”) and even Perkosrak (“First Space Rocket”).

But among the strange revolutionary names there were also those that then caught on and were used to call babies for a long time afterwards. For example, Vladlen (abbreviated as Vladimir Lenin), Ninel (the same Lenin, only in reverse), Kim (Communist Youth International).

In the family of football player David Beckham, one of the children was named Brooklyn in honor of the New York area. American rock musician Frank Zappa named his daughter Lunar Satellite. The daughter of the famous film actress Gwyneth Paltrow received the simple name Apple, and David Bowie christened his son Zoe: the singer thought this was a good consonance - Zoe Bowie. By the way, the son never appreciated the violent creative imagination your parent. Having grown up, he replaced Zoe with the neutral Joe, which, they say, greatly upset his father.

Other hollywood celebrities turned out to be no less original. Today, among star children there are such names as Dandelion (Dandelion), Pitches (Peach), Pixie (Fairy) and even Fifi Trixiebel - a combination of sounds that defies translation.

The longest name in the world is borne by an Indian whose surname is Brahmatra. It consists of 1478 letters, representing a series of names of historical places, names of famous diplomats, theologians, scientists, etc. merged together. It takes at least ten minutes to read it.

In comparison, the full name of Miss S. Ellen Georgiane Ser-Lekken from Montana in the USA is mere trifle, only 598 letters. A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain. Famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name was Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso.

And in France there lived a family without a surname. Instead, she bore a set of numbers - 1792. And four sons in this family bore the names of the months of the year. Thus, in the passport and other documents it looked like this: January 1792, February 1792, March 1792 and April 1792. The last representative of this strange family, Mr. March 1792, died in September 1904.
