Popular female names: Tamari, Nino, Ketevan, Khatuna, Khatia, Natali (“bright”, synonymous with Svetlana), Mariami... By the way, “Tamari” is Georgian for “temple”.

A beautiful name - Maayan... I would say, although I am a grandmother, I am brave))

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 the character, inclinations, talents, health and future fate of the child directly depended on it. Therefore, sometimes children were given the strangest names imaginable: Oak, Eagle, Snake, Lubomir, Chaste, He Who Brings Good News, Bright One, 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), Gertrud Dinera (child of the 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.

The female names of the 20s of the USSR sound somehow inconvenient for the modern ear - 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?

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 in honor of the 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 curiosity 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, in turn, have been studying such names for a long time and came to several interesting conclusions. The main one of these conclusions indicates that all the most unusual Russian male and female names are 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.

Every pregnant woman begins to come up with names for her child long before his birth, trying to choose the most beautiful names in the world. However, you need to understand that the fate of the baby will depend on the name. If you see a beautiful name on the extensive list, do not rush to name your child. Try saying it out loud a few times and you will learn how the name “sounds.” Find out the meaning of the name, choose several options and think about each one. Perhaps the initial impulse was too hasty. Intuition will definitely tell you the best option for a tiny son or daughter.

Over the past three years, parents around the world have been trying to choose sophisticated names for their children. For example, in the hit parade “The Most fashionable names for boys" for 2012-2014 included many biblical names: Adam, Noah, Daniel, Ethan, Jonah, Raphael. In the rating "Most popular names for girls" for the same period included the following names: Isabella, Sofia, Zoya, Alisa, Milana, Emma, ​​Alina, Amelia and etc.

The most popular names at the end of 2014:

Unusual names for children from loving mothers and fathers

The most beautiful names in the world cannot quench the thirst of parents who want to somehow distinguish their child, to make him unique, at least through the name. As soon as they don’t name newborn babies, wanting to give them sonorous names, not realizing that children have a hard time with such names. For example, when registering babies in the countries of the former “post-Soviet space,” the most unusual names for girls were considered: Tsvitana, Valencia, Shahroza, Kvita, Melisa, Cleopatra . No less interesting names were invented for boys - Krishna, Milan, Aladdin, Christopher, Eden, Odysseus, Nero and etc.

Sometimes parents go even further in their best intentions and call their children double or even triple names, believing that they will someday be included in the category of “The Most famous names world”, when the children grow up, become geniuses and become famous: Zabava-Rowan, Hana-Fani, Tsarina-Almaza, Panna-Milana, Prince-Volodar and etc.

Among Russian children, under the influence of famous Indian, American and Asian TV series, names such as Oscar, Naomi, Zita, Gita, Jennifer, Mirabella, Vanessa and etc.

The most popular names for girls and boys with patriotic overtones

Several cases have been recorded in the Russian Federation when newborn girls were named Russia . Can you imagine how strange it sounds when a child has the most common surname - Russia Ivanova or Russia Grachev. For some reason, parents in Nizhny Tagil named their daughter Privatization . They probably remembered fun historical times.

After the revolution, people named their children patriotically: Pofistal (Winner of fascism ), Perkosrak (First space rocket), Uryurvkos (Hurray, Yura in space!) etc. And these days, not being satisfied with the options from the list of “The most common names for girls and boys,” children are called unusually. For example, naming a girl Viagra , parents explain this not by addiction to a well-known drug, but great love to the VIA Gra group.

After sensational football matches, the registry offices begin to register babies, perpetuating the names of famous athletes, football coaches, and goalkeepers.

The most unusual names in the world

To read some names, it takes several minutes to pronounce a huge number of letters or decipher an abbreviation puzzle. For example, the longest name in the world has 1478 letters. It’s hard to believe, but the child was actually named that way, combining the names of memorable historical places, names of famous scientists, diplomats and much more. The ranking of the most unusual names in the world includes the following names:

1. American family from New Orleans at the birth of three twin girls named them Mu, Wu and Gu . By the way, Americans, more often than any other nationality in the world, “suffer” from idiocy; calling children is extremely absurd.

2. For a long time in France there was a dynasty that did not have a surname, it was replaced by a set of numbers 1792 . To be completely original, they decided to name their sons by the months of the year. The most popular names for boys in this family were: January 1792, March 1792 and April 1792. By the way, the last of the male family of this dynasty, Mr. March 1791, died in 1904.

3. Everyone knows the artist Pablo Picasso and admires his work. However, few people know that this genius artist there was an unusual name Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso. Such long and magnificent names were fashionable in Spain in past centuries; some old surnames have been preserved unusual tradition and today.

4. A family from the American city of Chicago named their children Appendicitis, Laryngitis, Tonsillitis, Peritonitis and Meningitis . Maybe the head of the family was a novice doctor and decided to “practice” memorizing professional terms on his own children?

5. In the Indian village of Kandhmala, the parents named the boy “I love potatoes.” It is not known whether the child will become a genius, but he has already glorified his village.

6. In Russia in the last century, names like Revolution, Electrification, Industrialization or even original ones - Lagshmivara (“Schmidt’s Camp in the Arctic”), Kukutsapol (“Corn is the Queen of the Fields”).

7. In India, two boys from the same village were named "Hello, Silver Dollar!" and “Hello, Two kilograms of rice!” . By the way, India has long been the leader in the most unusual names for children. Probably the best dreamers and inventors live there.

The teachers refused to include such a name in the class register, because of this there was a scandal with the parents. By the way, when translated into Russian, this unusual name also sounds long - “Numerous beautiful flowers of the mountains and valleys begin to fill Hawaii in length and breadth with their fragrance.”

And here is a video selection of examples of the most unusual names of our time:

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.

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 of that era: Electrification, Revolution, Decree, Smychka, Tractor, Algebrina, Turbina, 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.

The famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name was Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz y 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. Last Representative This strange kind of Mr. March 1792 died in September 1904.
