The most terrible names for women. The strangest names in Russia. Old Russian female names

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 in honor of the October Revolution, in honor 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 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 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.

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.

Registered in the registry office of the Moscow region town of Korolev unusual name- 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.

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.
