Strange Russian names. The longest, shortest, funny and ridiculous names of the Mongols and not only

December 18 is the Day of Civil Registry Office Workers. Lovely ladies not only announce the creation of new families under the march of Mendelssohn, but also daily do more routine work: register deaths, adoptions and births of new children.

This year, more than 101 thousand babies were born in the capital, in the past 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 bear such a name that no one in kindergarten, class, school, institute will certainly have ... What specifically encourages them to do this, they probably themselves don't really know, but the fact remains.

Casper you are my Beloved

The Moscow registry office "RG" spoke about the most unusual names registered in Moscow since 1998. So, the boys were called Dmitry-Amethyst, Matvey-Rainbow, Nikolai-Nikita-Nil, Count, Dar, Ivan-Kolovrat, Mercury, Kantogor-Egor, March, Christamrirados, Prince, Prince, Cosmos, Angel, Wind, Will, Dolphin, Yaroslav-Lyutobor, Ilya Bogodar, Casper Beloved, Arkhip-Ural, Jeremy Patron, Kit, Luke-Happiness, Summerset Ocean, Monono Nikita, Ogneslav, Buddha-Alexander, Master, Peace.

The girls were given the following non-trivial names: Pleasure, Polina-Polina, Golub, April, Cherry, India, Princess Daniella, Rosiyana, Russia, Zarya-Zaryanitsa, Moon, Lyalya, Angel Maria, Lunalika, Princess Angelina, Alyosha-Kaprina, Oceana, Joy , Alena-Flower, Dolphin, Fox, Radostina, Sofia-Sun.

As explained in the press service of the department, there is no fashion or tendency to be fond of unusual names in Moscow. From one to 12 facts of non-standard names are registered annually. According to the head of the registry office of Moscow, Irina Muravyova, most often an exotic name is expecting a child in a family where one of the parents is a foreigner.

For the love of "VIA Gre"

Residents of the Moscow region are less inventive with non-standard names. So, according to the statistics of the last three years of the registry office 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, Birch, Cassiopeia, Madonna, Roksolana, Raspberry, Mercedes, Bagheera.

In the registry office of the city of Korolev near Moscow, an unusual name is registered - Viagra. Happy parents - the driver Nikolay and the housewife Anastasia explain their choice by 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 a child, and the third reason is a long-standing love for the VIA Gra group.

In the Russian registry offices in the last three years, such names as Zhuzha, Tulip, Salad Lettuce, Millionera, Air traffic controller have been registered. By the way, people abroad are also good at fiction. So, 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 the Messiah. So, over the past two years, more than 1,000 Messiahs have been registered.

The right to change

However, psychologists say: children with unusual names can have a lot of problems in adulthood. Especially if the associations that an unusual name evokes from outsiders do not correspond to the personal qualities of the child. After all, the more unusual the name, the more it attracts the attention of outsiders. Therefore, from childhood, such a child will feel his unusualness, difference from others. This, of course, will leave a very deep imprint on the psyche. Not every child and not every adult can withstand increased attention to his person.

But if the young Prince or the graduate of the Angel-Mary school do not want to continue their life path with such names, they have the right to change them. Until the age of 14, this is done through an appeal to the guardianship and guardianship authorities, after 14 years - through the registry office, but with written permission from the parents. Well, after the age of majority, that is, 18 years old, a young man has the right to independently come to the registry office, write an application and change his name. This year, by the way, 6455 people used this right, last year - 8320, the year before - 7834.

In the name of the revolution

After the October Revolution in Soviet Russia, it was fashionable for children to give the most unimaginable names. In the dictionary of Russian personal names, authored by Nikandr Petrovsky (the name, by the way, is also not the most common), you can find the following popular names of that era: Electrification, Revolution, Decree, Bow, Tractor, Algebrina, Turbine, Diesel, Drezina.

It used to be 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 those that then took root and they were called babies for a long time afterwards. For example, Vladlen (abbreviated as Vladimir Lenin), Ninel (the same Lenin, only in reverse), Kim (Communist International of Youth).

The stars do it too

World celebrities are also not averse to inventing something like that.

So, 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 Sputnik. The daughter of the famous film actress Gwyneth Paltrow received the uncomplicated name Apple, and David Bowie christened his son Zoe: it seemed to the singer a good consonance - Zoe Bowie. By the way, the son did not appreciate the violent creative imagination of his parent. Growing up, he replaced Zoey with a neutral Joe, which, they say, greatly upset his father.

Other Hollywood celebrities were no less original. Today, among the star children, there are such names as Dandelion (Dandelion), Pitches (Peach), Pixie (Fairy) and even Fifi Trixibel - a combination of sounds that cannot be translated.

Help "RG"

The longest name in the world is an Indian named Brahmatra. It consists of 1478 letters, which are a series of merged names of historical places, the names of famous diplomats, theologians, scientists, etc. It takes at least ten minutes to read it.

The last representative of this strange family, Mr March 1792, died in September 1904.

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.

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.
