Unusual names in. How to name your daughter: choose the rarest, most beautiful and unusual name for a girl. Unusual names for children from loving mothers and fathers


Almost 20% of parents do not have time to decide on the name of their unborn child by the time of his birth, but there are also those who cannot come to an agreement even a month after the birth of the baby. Distracted by many everyday problems, it is sometimes very difficult for a husband and wife to agree, because everyone has their own preferences and their own vision of this issue. And here, relatives, friends, and just acquaintances begin to offer their options. Fashion dictates, television promotes, how can you choose?

It is clear that every parent wishes for their child happy life. Believing that a newborn's name can define him future fate, to promote success in their personal life and career, parents often see their future in the baby’s name - and, sometimes, they choose a rare rather than a common name for their baby. Why?

  • They believe that it will help the child develop certain qualities- for example, independence.
  • They strive to distinguish their child from other children in advance.
  • Follow family traditions, where the names of grandparents are passed down from generation to generation.

Based on these premises, it is possible to determine where rare names come from.

  • The most obvious is the “well forgotten old”. Names that were used to call children many years, and sometimes centuries, ago appear in everyday life. In Russia they sound again Old Slavonic names- Bogdan, Miroslava, Tayana.
  • There are very creative and progressive parents who come up with names themselves. This is how the name Svetlana appeared, although it was invented for the character, and not for her own child. And the name Stella was invented for a cycle of sonnets.
  • Sometimes adults try to remember events that are important to them. This is how completely unusual names are also born, many of which later become unviable, but some of these names continue to exist - for example, Kazbek, Damir or Kim. This desire to record various historical events, places to remember and immortalize some great personalities. To a greater extent, the Soviet names that have appeared reflect this trend, and they can be called rare (Radiy, Zarya, Vladlen, Astra).
  • You can also consider rare names to be those foreign, borrowed names that are not accepted in use in a particular country. Wherein most of Christian names are one way or another duplicated both in Catholicism and Orthodoxy (Martha - Martha, Christiana - Christina). Here are some foreign strange names still can be called rare - Emma, ​​Madeleine, Monica, Laura.

Rare names for boys

The baby's name is chosen based on a specific idea. These can be names based on the zodiac sign, mythical, biblical, foreign or new names. Some previously rare names are now becoming popular, and former interest is returning to them. Some common names are transformed, acquiring new spellings and sounds, thus creating a new, beautiful, rare name.

In addition to the obvious goal of parents who choose a rare name for their child - to make him stand out from the rest, there is also a hidden one. Parents try in this way to teach children to be independent and independent from an early age. After all, starting from the first days of a baby’s life, those around him begin to ask, clarify, and be surprised by the name he heard, and the child cannot help but notice this.

But not all children can bear this burden, and not all, even adults, owners of such rare names are ready to continue to bear it. Such a selection leaves an imprint on inner world person. It can influence his behavior, make him closed, touchy, or, conversely, arrogant and aggressive. Many people, upon reaching adulthood, change their name to a more common one. But it also happens that it is his rare name that helps a person, and still a child, to overcome obstacles, hold his head high and achieve his goals.

But still, maybe future parents should think about it and choose one of the more familiar and popular names for their child?

Surely, many children with such names have a hard life, but this is the will of their parents... Of course, each person is unique and inimitable in his own way, each is exceptional in his own way, but is it necessary to emphasize the uniqueness of your child by choosing a rare and unusual name for him?

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.

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 inventive 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.

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.

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.
