It took the future uncle of Megatron only 2 dozen days to collect the required number of votes. As a result, his sister, after a bet, agreed to give the child this name.

After the Russian national football team reached the semi-finals 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 -GusEvgenievich Gorodnikov.

Giving an unusual name to their child, not all parents think about the consequences - about how their child will live with this name in the future, about whether it is combined with a patronymic and surname. As a rule, such people want to stand out, either give the name of their idol, or go on about momentary desires, not realizing that they are dooming their child to a difficult life.

Moreover, this applies to people of different financial wealth. So, for example, the Russian multimillionaire Sergey Polonsky gave his third son Mirax, in honor of one of his companies, Mirax Group, which after some time became bankrupt. It is worth adding that the honor of bearing this name was awarded to his dog, whose fate is unknown to us.


A couple from the Voronezh region gave their daughter a name - Russia - without even knowing that the girl's namesake lives in Nizhny Tagil.

Quite often, children's names are given in honor of the stars of show business and sports. The exit of the Russian national football team to the semi-finals of the European Championship in 2008 will be remembered for the rest of their lives by at least two boys named Gus, who were named after the then team coach Guus Hiddink.


However, with these boys, one can say, everything is in order compared to the unfortunate child named Porof (short for "shame on Russian football").


A boy lives in the suburbs, whose name is Reduksin. Mom named him after the drug machine, thanks to which she lost weight and met her future husband. In the city of Korolev, the girl Viagra is growing up, named either in honor of another medicinal device, or in honor of a famous musical group.

There are many such examples. But the guy with the name Luke Happiness Summerset Ocean has the most choice: in any case, he can appear as one of the four components of his name at will.

…and still no one can surpass Dazdraperma!

Every parent wants their child to be something special. And what can better emphasize this very feature, if not a name? So every year children with a variety of strange names appear in Russia. Fortunately, the flight of parental fantasy has recently been restrained by a presidential decree of May 1, 2017, which prohibits 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 also be banned. However, the legislators did not "tighten the screws" and, since many such names have entered into practice, they 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. Interestingly, in neighboring Slavic countries, female names with the root - glad - are often found and do not surprise anyone. Joy has "sisters": Delight, Golub, and "brother" Gift. All these names were once common in the past, but are now forgotten.

At the same time, the names Vera, Love, Hope are still found (although not very popular) and do not cause surprise, but they also denote feelings.

However, there are parents who, in an effort to name the child more original, do not stop at just one expression of the emotional state. In 2010, employees of one of the capital's registry offices had to register a boy with the name Luka-Happiness Summerset Ocean.

9. What I see - I sing about

Sometimes parents look to the world around them for inspiration. Some options are quite euphonious, for example, Angara, Yenisei, Moon, April.

Whale, Ocean and Oceana 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-Sun And Zarya-Zaryanitsa.

But there are also the names of Russian children, in which the names of foreign rivers are used. In 2000, a baby was born, who was given the name Nikolay-Nikita-Nil.

8. For inspiration - to nature

And if there are not enough geographical objects, plants and animals are used. In the name of Rose, you can hardly surprise anyone now, because there are options that are much rarer.

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 strangest male names) lettuce. How a person with such an exotic name would have to live in the future, the parents did not seem to think.

7. The 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 the name Polina-Polina. After all, one Polina is so boring! And two is 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 the child the most unusual name for a girl, embodying all the longing of parents for a luxury that is inaccessible to them? That's how they come into being Princess Daniella and her sisters in spirit, Princess Angelina And Alice Nefertiti. You can also hint at the future successes of the child by calling him simply Millionaire, Graph, Prince or prince.

Parents are more modestly limited 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. Unconventional values

It's nice to have a little supernatural creature next to you in the stroller (even if it's still wet diapers and drooling). Starting from the Angel and Seraphim and ending with the whole Buddha-Alexander.

But the Permian couple Menshikovs, belonging to the sect of Satanists, did an even worse number, 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 the name carries a positive meaning.

So far, Lucifer Konstantinovich does not show a demonic nature in anything. Like mere mortals, he cut teeth, not fangs, no horns, and happy parents stood in line 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. Interests and hobbies

Parental interests are another source of the strangest baby names. Recently, in the registry office of one of the cities near Moscow, parents wished to give their daughter a name Viagra. The reason is a long-standing and mutual love for this group.

And there are babies in Russia Jazz And Chelsea. It’s immediately clear what parents are fond of, right?

3. There is never too much patriotism

It happens that patriotic enthusiasm so oppresses the chest that one wants to pour it out on everyone who falls under the arm. So in 2014, a girl with the name Russia. At the same time, even the wife dissuaded her husband from such a decision, but he remained firm.

There is also a boy Crimea and girl Syria. And even Tagil and Sevastopol.

Crimea was named in honor of the reunification of the peninsula of the same name with Russia. His parents affectionately call him Krymchik, Krymushka, and sometimes Crimea is ours.

The name Tagil is given in honor of the city in which the child was born. The registry office staff asked the 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.

Here's what the parents did Sevastopol- We do not know. Perhaps they were inspired by the same motive as the parents of the Crimea.

2. Have an idea

Muscovite intellectuals have already distinguished themselves here, wishing to name their son BOC rVF 260602. This scary-looking abbreviation is deciphered simply: “ biological object "man" of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002».

The name is not simple, but ideological, which arose from his father's love for science fiction and robots. Ordinary names, in his opinion, slow down progress, but the name of his child is fully consistent with the high idea of ​​​​the development of science and technology.

True, in the registry office the people turned out to be dark and did not register the child with that name. Therefore, the parents had to issue an international passport for him. Anyone can get it, and a document called the "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 used to such an abbreviation of his very long “robotic” name.

1. International environment

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 soul sister Medmiya(short for Dmitry Medvedev).

Other parents of the same mindset do not dare to aim at the great, preferring to name their children after political events. So they were registered Vyborina And Shosina(from SCO - Shanghai Cooperation Organization) - certainly one 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 the name to a more "boring", but familiar to the hearing of others. To change your name yourself, you must be at least 14 years of age 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 you will need to collect for this. And after the age of 18, written permission from the parents is not required to change the name.

According to the Moscow registry office, Alexander is the leader among the most popular male names in 2017. The name Mikhail is a little less popular, and Artem closes the top three.

As for the most popular names for girls, the top three have remained unchanged since 2015. The first line is occupied by the name Sofia, the second belongs to the name Maria, and the third is Anna.

What names do not call the parents of children! Loving mothers and fathers do not spare their own children, giving them strange, ridiculous, long and dissonant names. Surely, many children with such names have a hard life, but such 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?

Many people think that yes, and give their children such names that it remains only to part their hands: Zhuzha, Viagra, Tulip, Lettuce, Millionaire, Air traffic controller - all these are real names registered in Russian registry offices over the past couple of years, and that's just small part of the list. So, the list of residents of the Moscow region in 2009 was replenished with five unusual names: Genevieve, Cinderella, Spring, as well as Mark Antony and Milord.

In 2008, the following were registered: Sever, Dolphin, Wind and Angel. The girls were named Luna and Galavictoria. There was also Lettuce, Air Traffic Controller, Just a Hero. All of these babies received birth certificates. However, one child has been denied registration for many years in a row.
The parents of a boy named BOC rVF 260602 (Biological Object of a Human of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002) cannot receive either a birth certificate or a medical policy for him. While the legal battle lasts, the boy without a name does not attend kindergarten or school.

In 2009, the registry office of the city of Pavlovsk, Voronezh region, issued a birth certificate to a girl named Russia Kitsenko.

It is noteworthy that this is not the first Russian woman with the name Russia: her namesake is growing in Nizhny Tagil - Russia Shramkova.

An unusual name is registered in the registry office of the city of Koroleva near Moscow - Viagra. Happy parents claim that they had as many as three reasons to name the child so: the beauty and originality of the name, the drug of the same name that contributed to the conception, and, finally, a long-standing love for the VIA Gra group.

Giving unusual names to children in honor of heads of state and significant events was popular during the Soviet Union. For example: Arvil is the Army of V.I. Lenin, Artaka is the Artillery Academy, Bestrev - Beria is the guardian of the revolution, Waterpezhekosma is Valentina Tereshkova - the first woman cosmonaut, Vector - Great Communism triumphs, Vilan - V.I. Lenin and the Academy of Sciences , Vilorik - V. I. Lenin - the liberator of the workers and peasants, Vilyur - Vladimir Ilyich loves the Motherland, Vladlen - Vladimir Lenin, Volen - Lenin's Will, Dazdrasmygda - Long live the bond between town and country

Dazdraperma - Long live the first of May, Dotnara - Daughter of the working people, Izil - Fulfill the precepts of Ilyich, Kim - Communist Youth International, Tape - Lenin's labor army, Lorierik - Lenin, October Revolution, industrialization, electrification, radio and communism, Pofistal - The winner of fascism Joseph Stalin, Kukutsapol - Corn Queen of the Fields, Decree, Barricade, Bow, Idea, Sovdep, Tractor, Novomir, Purple, Energy, Disizara - Child, boldly follow the revolution, Zheldora - Railway, Pyatvchet - Five-Year Plan in four years, Uryuvkos ( Hooray, Yura in space), Perkosrak (First space rocket), Luigi (a) - Lenin died, but the ideas are alive ...

Not only in Russia, but also in China, unusual baby names are in vogue. Quite often, children are called names that symbolize some big events or slogans. Among the most common, names that in translation mean "Protect China", "Create a Nation", "Journey into Space", "Civilization". Parents name babies in memory of the victims of the devastating Sichuan earthquake - "Hope for Sichuan"

A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain either. Few people know that the famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name is: Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomukeno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso - only 93 letters.

Some time ago, a family lived in France, deprived of the most ordinary ... surname. Instead, she "wore" a set of numbers - 1792. And four sons in this family bore the names of ... months of the year. 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.

In Latin America, parents like to give their children exotic names. A quick scan of Venezuela's phone book reveals names like Taj Mahal Sanchez, Elvis Presley Gomez Morilo, Darwin Lenin Jimenez, and even Hitler Eufemio Mayora.

Among the "masterpieces" invented by the inhabitants of the province of Manabi are Super Strong Cement, Sports Cavalcade, Tough Football Victory, Chicken Paw, International Conflict.

"Hello Two Kilograms of Rice!", "Hello Silver Dollar!" - this is how two residents of the Kandhmal district in the Indian state of Orissa greet each other when they meet.

Two kilograms of rice is a memory of a gift sent down by the state: it is this measure of rice that is given out by decision of the authorities for each child born.

The youngest daughter of the owner of one of the local restaurants entered one of the schools in the city of Honolulu in the Hawaiian Islands. Her first and last name consist of 102 letters. Here they are: Napu Amo Hala She Ona Aneka Vehi Vehi Ona Khivea Nena Vawa Keho Onka Kahe Hea Leke Yea Ona Nei Nana Nia Keko Oa Oga Wan Ika Vanao, which translates as "many beautiful flowers of mountains and valleys begin to fill Hawaii in length and breadth with their fragrance." She was never included in the class magazine.

The Indian Brahmatra has a “competitor” - Miss S. Ellen Georgiana Ser-Lekken, (born in 1979, Montana, USA), and the first letter “C” in her name is just the beginning ... And then another 597 letters.

I must say that Americans are generally rich in inventions. The Jackson family from the city of Chicago branded their five children, naming them: Meningitis, Laryngitis, Appendicitis, Peritonitis, Tonsillitis.

There is a girl in the Hawaiian Islands, the daughter of the owner of one of the local restaurants. Her first and last name consist of 102 letters.
