Each person is given his own at birth given name. Basically, the names are all quite famous and popular. But there are people who want to stand out very much and therefore give their children extremely unusual names, which are difficult to name. So let's see what the most unusual names were given to people in the world.

1. One Chicago family decided to name their five children after various diseases. The names of these children were: Appendicitis, Tonsillitis, Peritonitis, Meningitis and Laryngitis.

2. There lived a family whose last name was a set of numbers - 1792. They gave names to their children in honor of the months of the year. That is, the first child’s name was January 1792, the second child’s name was February 1792, the third was March, and the fourth, respectively, April. But the last to die was March in 1904.

3. They also called us strange names. For example, the name DAZDRAPERMA, which meant “Long live the first of May.” The name LORIERIC (Lenin, October Revolution, Industrialization, Electrification, Radiofication and Communism) or MELS (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin) was also found. When Gagarin flew, they came up with a name - URYURVKOS (Hurray! Yura in space). In general, Soviet names are a separate issue. You can even dedicate a separate post to them)

4. The youngest daughter of the owner of one of the restaurants on the Hawaiian Islands had a name consisting of as many as 102 letters - NapuAmoHalaOnaOnAnekaVehiVehiOnaHiveaNenaVavaKehoOnkaKaheHeaLekeEaOnaNanaNiaKekoOaOgaWanIkaVanao. Translated into Russian, this means something like “The beautiful flowers of the mountains and valleys fill with their fragrance all the length and breadth of the Hawaiian islands.” However, this is not the longest name in the world. There is a name consisting of 1500 letters.

5. In Latin America, people often like to call their children names such as Taj Mahal, Hitler, Lenin, Elvis Presley, etc.

6. The name VIAGRA is registered in the town of Korolev near Moscow. The parents explain this by saying that the conception of this child occurred thanks to this well-known drug, in addition, they both love famous group Viagra. Of course, all this seems funny and unusual to parents, but the child may have problems because of this name, especially in adolescence, when the children’s psyche is unstable.

7. There are even cases where people change their names to Internet addresses. For example, one Canadian changed his name to Mr. Freebeerstore. For this, the owner of the website of the same name paid him $37,000. Another girl from changed her name to the Internet address of an organization that opposes animal testing.

8. In Novgorod (long ago) lived the Lenev family (from the Lin fish). The father did not struggle with names for his four children for a long time. He also named them after fish: Som Linev, Ruff Linev, Sudak Linev and Perch Linev.

9. In Kyiv, parents are clearly jokers because they named their child Cinderella. But the most interesting thing is that it was a boy, not a girl.

10. In the USA, there have been cases where children were named after their loved ones search engines, namely Google and Yahoo.

Of course, this is not the entire list. there are still different names that could easily get on this list. But I would like to point out something else: parents want to stand out, but their children suffer.
