Every parents dream that their child will be something special. And what can better emphasize this very feature if not the name? So every year children appear in Russia with all sorts of strange names. Fortunately, the flight of parental imagination has recently been held back by a presidential decree of May 1, 2017 prohibiting the use of numbers, symbols, obscene language, job title or title in the name.
There was an assumption that compound names, as well as abbreviated names, would be banned. However, the legislators did not "tighten the screws" and, since many such names entered into practice, 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, Goluba, and "brother" Gift... All these names were once common in the past, but have now been forgotten.
At the same time, the names Vera, Love, Nadezhda are still found (although not too popular) and do not cause surprise, but they also denote feelings.
However, there are parents who, in an effort to name a child more original, do not stop at just one expression of an emotional state. In 2010, employees of one of the capital's registry offices had to register a boy with the name Lucky Bow Summerset Ocean.
9. What I see - I sing about that
Sometimes parents look to the world around them for inspiration. Some options are quite euphonic, for example, Angara, Yenisei, Moon, April.
Whale, Ocean and Ocean look more exotic, but the construction "common name" plus "geographical object" looks very strange, for example, Arkhip-Ural.
Women's names sound beautiful and even affectionate Sofia-Solnyshko and Zarya-Zaryanitsa.
But there are also names of Russian children in which the names of foreign rivers are used. In 2000, a baby was born who was given a name Nikolay-Nikita-Nile.
8. For inspiration - to nature
And if geographical objects are not enough, plants and animals are used. Now you can hardly surprise anyone with the name of Rose, because there are much rarer options.
Popular name Dolphin - it is present in both male and female versions. There is also Fox, Panda, Iris, Cherry, Tulip and even (one of the weirdest male names) Lettuce... How a person with such an exotic name will have to live in the future, the parents, it seems, did not think.
7. Power of numbers
If you take the most common name and double it, then suddenly something bright and even, let's not be afraid of this word, exotic appears in this name. Apparently, such thoughts were guided by the parents who gave their daughter a name Polina-Polina... After all, Polina alone is so boring! And two are much better.
Or here Sasha-Alexander, also a good option. Suddenly someone from the first time will not guess that there is a boy in front of him, so the middle name will immediately clarify this.
6. You can't forbid living beautifully
Well, how not to give a child the most unusual name for a girl, embodying all the parents' longing for the luxury they cannot reach? So are born Princess danielle and her sisters in spirit, Princess Angelina and Alice-Nefertiti... You can still hint at the future successes of the child, calling him simply Millionaire, Graph, Prince or Prince.
Parents more modestly limit themselves to adding something original to the usual name - of course, through a hyphen, because everyone knows that double names are more beautiful than ordinary ones. For example, Dmitry-Amethyst, Matvey-Rainbow or Alena-Flower.
5. Non-traditional values
It's a good idea to have a small supernatural creature with you in your stroller (even if it's still wetting diapers and drooling). Starting from the Angel and Seraphim and ending with the whole Buddha-Alexander.
But the Perm couple Menshikovs, belonging to the sect of Satanists, soaked the number even worse, and named their son Lucifer... When the registry office workers tried to dissuade the parents from their venture, they explained that Lucifer is "a symbol of self-sufficiency, protest." It encourages individuality, which means that the name carries a positive meaning.
So far, Lucifer Konstantinovich does not show a demonic nature in anything. Like ordinary mortals, he had teeth cut, not fangs, no horns, and happy parents queued up for kindergarten.
The couple recently had a second baby. At first they wanted to call him Lestat, in honor of one of the book vampires, but then they called him simpler, Voldemar.
4. Hobbies and hobbies
Parental interests are another source of the weirdest baby names. Recently, in the registry office of one of the cities near Moscow, parents wanted to give their daughter a name Viagra... The reason is a long-standing and mutual love for this group.
There are also babies in Russia Jazz and Chelsea... It's immediately clear what parents are fond of, right?
3. Patriotism is never too much
It happens that patriotic enthusiasm is so tight on the chest that you want to pour it out on everyone who comes to hand. This is how in 2014 a girl with the name was born in the Buryat city of Kyakhta Russia... At the same time, even the spouse dissuaded her husband from such a decision, but he remained firm.
And there is also a boy Crimea and girl Syria... And even Tagil and Sevastopol.
Crimea was named after the reunification of the peninsula of the same name with Russia. Parents affectionately call him Krymchik, Krymushka, and sometimes Crimea is ours.
The name Tagil was given in honor of the city in which the child was born. The registry office employees asked my father to think, but he was adamant. He stated that the word "tagil" in translation from Mansi means "a lot of water". How this will help the boy in the future is still unclear.
And here is what the parents were guided by Sevastopol - We do not know. Perhaps they were inspired by the same motive as the Crimean parents.
2. Have an idea
Muscovites have already distinguished themselves by wishing to name their son. Boch rVF 260602... This scary-looking abbreviation is deciphered simply: “ biological object "man" of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on 26.06.2002».
The name is not simple, but ideological, arising from the father's love for science fiction and robots. Ordinary names, in his opinion, slow down progress, but the name of his child fully corresponds to the lofty idea of \u200b\u200bthe development of science and technology.
True, in the registry office the narodishko turned out to be dark and did not register the child with that name. Therefore, his parents had to issue an international passport for him. Anyone can get it, and a document called "passport of a citizen of the world" is issued by the non-profit organization World Service Authority. Her office is 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 such a shortening of his very long “robotic” name.
1. International situation
And the list of the strangest names of children in Russia is crowned with political names. The 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 sister in spirit Medmia (short for Dmitry Medvedev).
Other parents of the same mindset do not dare to aim at great things, preferring to name their children after political events. So were registered Vyborina and Shosina (from SCO - Shanghai Cooperation Organization) are certainly some of the most unusual female names in the Russian Federation.
Fortunately, any person who has become a “victim” of the creativity of their parents has the opportunity to change their name to a more “boring” one, but familiar to the ears of others. To change your name yourself, you must reach the age of 14 and (with written permission from your parents) contact your local registry office. They will tell you how to write an application for a name change and what documents will need to be collected for this. And after 18 years, no written permission from parents is required to change the name.
According to the Moscow Civil Registry Office, among the most popular male names in 2017, the leader is Alexander. The name Mikhail is a little less popular, and Artem closes the top three.
In terms of the most popular names for girls, the top three has remained unchanged since 2015. The first line is occupied by the name Sophia, the second belongs to the name Maria, and the third is Anna.
It turned out that some parents prefer their child's name Ocean, Summerset or Ogneslav... Other originals named their children Eremey the Patron, Genevieve, Cinderella, Spring, and Mark-Antony, My lord, Luke and Happiness... It is also worth noting that now in Russia there is a child named Joy.
New Zealand registry offices have compiled a list of names that can no longer be called children in this country. There are just over a hundred names in the list. Among them - Hitler, Messiah, Lucifer, Referee... In addition, the New Zealand authorities have recorded that some parents give their children names consisting of only one letter or number. Such names were also banned.
Taking part in the choice of a name for his as yet unborn nephew, American Mike Affinito proposed to name the child after the main villain from the famous film "Transformers" - Megatron... At the same time, his sister agreed to such a delicacy with a name, but with a certain condition - if this idea is supported by a million people from the famous social network Facebook.
It took Megatron's future uncle only 2 dozen days to collect the required number of votes. As a result, his sister, having bet a bet, agreed to give the child this name.
It is reported that as a result, the child will receive 2 names, one - Megatron, and the other - faded Megan or Ben. The first will fit into all documents, including a driver's license, and the second will be used in everyday life.
North Carolina resident Jennifer Thornburgh changed her name to an Internet address for ideological reasons. Now the 19 year old girl is called CutoutDissection.com.
So, in Sweden there is a boy named Oliver Google... His father, who has a PhD in search marketing, decided to name his child that way after his beloved search engine.
Among the most bizarre names given to the children of stars, for example, the daughter of American rock musician Frank Zappa, whom the legendary father, in a fit of inspiration, called Moon Unit - Lunar Satellite.
The daughter of Hollywood star Gwyneth Peltrow and vocalist of the British band Coldplay Chris Martin is called Apple - An Apple.
The son of "rolling" Keith Richards has a strange name, his name is Dandelion - Dandelion.
An unusual name is registered in the registry office of the city of Korolev near Moscow - Viagra... Happy parents - driver Nikolay and housewife Anastasia explain their choice with three reasons. The first of them is the beauty and originality of the name, the second - the drug of the same name contributed to the long-awaited conception of the child, and the third reason is the old love for the VIA Gra group.
After the Russian national football team reached the semifinals of Euro 2008, a newborn child was named in honor of the head coach of the national team Guus Hiddink in the village of Bolotnoye, Novosibirsk region - Goose Evgenievich Gorodnikov.
