The most unusual names. The most unusual names for children: From Putin to Aladdin Unusual names given to children

An innocent baby is born. His parents give him a name that will accompany him to the gravestone. According to scientists, a person hears his name approximately 1.5 million times in his life!

Mystery of the name

The ancients attached great importance to the name of a person. They believed that the character, inclinations, talents, health and further fate of the child directly depend on him. Therefore, sometimes children were given the strangest names imaginable: Oak, Eagle, Snake, Lubomir, Chaste, He who brings good news, Bright, Like a lion and many others.

Modern astrologers represent a whole science of meaning and their influence on karma. They argue that a name can be both a blessing and a curse.

The hidden influence of a person's name on fate is also confirmed by scientists, explaining that it consists of sounds of a certain height, which irritate significant parts of the brain, thus affecting both the bearer of the name and others. In addition, a certain color corresponds to the wavelength of sound vibrations, 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 Soviet era. In those years, ideology played a huge role, so patriotic parents abandoned the old philistine names. They marked their sons with neologisms born of the October Revolution, the successes of Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorary professions: Potassium, Wolfram, Comrade, Median, Parovoz, Decembrist, Atheist, Tankman and others.

But the parents showed real creativity by inventing names as derivatives of slogans, revolutionary appeals, party leaders: Arvil (the army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Vedlen (Lenin's great deeds), Kukutsapol (corn is the king of the fields), Vist (the historical power of labor is great), Villur (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved the Motherland), Papir (party pyramid), Vors (Voroshilov arrows) or Divide (Lenin's affairs are alive) and many others. The imagination of the people was inexhaustible!

Some of the strangest boy names even sound obscene. In modern people, they evoke interesting associations: Wil (Vladimir Ilya Lenin), Constipation (for order), Pervsovstrat (the first Soviet stratospheric balloon), Thief (Great Pofivstal (the winner of the Nazis, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin).

These strange names in the USSR were proudly worn by children. 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 (a special Far Eastern army) and Roblen (born to be Lenin).

Unusual female names in the USSR

They were awarded with sonorous names in the style of the era and girls. They were proudly named: Omega, Drezina, Iskra, Tractorina, Stalin, Artak (artillery academy), Velira (great worker), Lagshmivara (Schmidt's camp in the Arctic), Gertrud Diner (child of a new era) or another version of Doner (daughter of a new era) , Krarmiya (Red Army), Lapanalda (Papanin camp on an ice floe), Raytiya (district printing house), Bestrazheva (Beria - guard of the revolution) and others.

Somehow inconvenient for the modern ear are the female names of the 20s of the USSR - Dazdrasmyga (long live the bond between the city and the countryside) or as a variant of Dazdraperma (long live the first of May) or Nixerha (Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev).

I wonder how all these names sounded in a diminutive version?

There are many amazing male names in the world

There are fans of creativity in all countries of the world. The desire to stand out from the crowd, to pass for the original, to express themselves pushes parents to give the boys the strangest names:

Lennon - in honor of the famous John Lennon, he named his son Lazma Gellaher.

Gulliver is the name of G. Oldman's son.

Homer - in honor of the ancient Greek philosopher named the heir Richard Gere.

Dandelion is the name of the son of Keith Richards.

Blue Angel is a strange name given by Dave Evans to his boy.

Jet Plane is not a nickname, it is the legally registered name of John Travolta's son.

Ocean - decided that this name would make his son as strong as the ocean. By the way, the name of daddy is translated into Russian as "forest".

Pilot Inspector - such a name in honor of the hero of a famous song is a descendant of Jason Lee.

Hooray - optimistically and joyfully named his newborn son Alex James.

Baby - David Duchovny gave such an affectionate name to his son. But the son has grown up and reluctantly responds to him.

Interestingly, the strangest names in the world are given to their babies by star parents, while among the rest, traditional names are popular - Jack, Sam, Nick, Tom and William.

Women's names of the world, causing surprise and even bewilderment

Little Trixie is the name of Bob Geldof's daughter.

Apple - named their beauty and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Hazelnut - something meant Julia Roberts, giving such an original name to her daughter.

Honey Blossom is the name given to his little princess by Bob Geldof.

Bell-Madonna - Jerry Halliwell called her daughter this unusual double name.

The Goddess of Love names her heiress Lil Mo.

Heavenly - Michael Hutchence named his daughter in the spirit of the American Indians.

Ireland is Alec Baldwin's heiress.

Far from all the strangest female names in the world are listed. Original parents christen their children with the names of celestial bodies, cities, states and countries, book, movie and cartoon characters, names of flowers, trees and animals.

No comment

These are really the strangest names!

The longest name on the planet consists of almost 1500 letters. It takes 10 minutes to read it. Prior to this, the longest name belonged to an American and consisted of 598 letters.

The name of a schoolgirl in Hawaii from 102 letters could not be recorded in the classroom journal.

The well-known Picasso lost. His full name is only 93 letters long!

The American Jackson family loves their children very much. That's probably why they gave them the names Tonsillitis, Laryngitis, Meningitis, Appendicitis, and Peritonitis.

Another couple named their daughters Wu, Gu, Mu.

The ideological Jennifer Thornburg at the age of 19 took the name "Put an End to Anatomy".

The strangest names in Russia

Officially, from 2009 to 2012, which the Russians gave to their offspring were registered:

Boys: Azar, Andres, Aristarkh, Garib, Gus, Mahmudahmadinejad, Prahlada (yes, that's what the boy was called), Cassper Beloved, Luke-and-Happiness, Arkhip-Ural, Hero, Aladdin, Ogneslav.

Girls: Russia, Zhuzha, twins Zita and Gita, Viagra, Privatization, Angel-Maria, Princess, Queen, Juno, Joy, Fun, Almaza, Brilliantina.

The right choice of name

The vanity of parents can turn into serious problems for the child in life. A child can become an outcast among peers, resulting in all sorts of complexes, nervous breakdowns. All this imposes a great responsibility on parents who choose a name for their baby.

Psychologists advise:

Take into account the sound of the name along with the patronymic.

Do not give obligatory names to children: Count, Strongman, Beauty, etc.

Do not name children after their favorite characters. The name Harry Potter or Monster High is unlikely to appeal to an adult child.

It is undesirable to give children the names of historical figures. Such names as Napoleon or Pinochet may not be very loyally received by society.

Abroad, there is a linguistic name verification service. Specialists check that the planned name for the child sounds worthy in other languages ​​of the world.

Top 10 Most Unusual Names in the World

1st place: 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 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. The last representative of this strange family, "Mr. March 1792", died in September 1904.

2nd place: And the Jackson family from the city of Chicago branded their five children, naming them: Meningitis, Laryngitis, Appendicitis, Peritonitis, Tonsillitis.

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.

6th place: It seems that after this a girl named Princess Diana and a boy baptized by Hamlet, who were born in Kharkov in 1998, will seem to you just a small innocent prank of their parents

9th place: In the Hawaiian Islands, the youngest daughter of the owner of one of the local restaurants entered one of the schools in the city of Honolulu. Her first and last name consist of 102 letters. Here they are: Napu-Amo-Hala-She-She-Aneka-Vekhi-Vekhi-She-Hivea-Nena-Wawa-Keho-Onka-Kahe-Hea-Leke-Ea-She-Nei-Nana-Nia-Keko-Oa -Oga-Wan-Ika-Wanao. She was never included in the class magazine. In Russian, this means: "Many beautiful flowers of mountains and valleys begin to fill Hawaii in length and breadth with their fragrance."

10th place: The famous artist Pablo Picasso is known to everyone. But not everyone knows the full set of his first and last names. Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomukeno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso. There are 93 letters in his first and last name. After all, Picasso is a Spaniard, and in Spain such a magnificent set of names is not at all uncommon.

And in 2008, two boys named Sever, one Dolphin, Wind and Angel appeared in Moscow. The girls were named Luna and Galavictoria. Years earlier, Lettuce, Air Traffic Controller, Prosto Hero, Yaroslav-Lyutobor, Zarya-Zaryanitsa, Volya, Luna, Viagra, Russia, Prokhlada and Privatization were born…
And there is also BOC rVF 260602 (Biological Object of a Human of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002 ...

By the way, when I found this, I remembered how one mother's friend told me that her friends named the girl Doleres, and the boy Elvis. The main dad’s name is Ion (Vanya in Russian), and their last name is typically Moldovan, for the life of me I don’t remember. It was in Chisinau about three years ago!

Both foreigners and stars are original

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 a name that no one will certainly have. The list of the most original names was compiled by Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

In Moscow, 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.

According to the head of the Moscow registry office, most often an exotic name is expecting a child in a family where one of the parents is a foreigner.

Residents of the Moscow region are less inventive with non-standard names. So, according to the statistics of the last three years in the Moscow region, the boys were called: Anikey, Ion, Ermak, Lukilianne, Joan, 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 Koroleva near Moscow, an unusual name is registered - Viagra. Happy parents, the driver Nikolay and the 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 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.

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 for children to give 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, Bow, Tractor, Algebrina, Turbine, Diesel, Drezina.

It used to be that the girls were called Dazdraperma (from the slogan “Long Live the First of May”), Revdit - (“Child of the Revolution”), Pofistal - (“The 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).

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.

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.

Compared to him, the full name of Miss S. Ellen Georgiana Ser-Lekken from Montana in the USA is mere trifles, only 598 letters. A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain either. The famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomukeno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso.

And in France there lived a family deprived of a surname. Instead, she wore 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. The last representative of this strange family, Mr March 1792, died in September 1904.

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.

December 18 is the Day of Civil Registry Office Workers. Dear 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 have such a name that no one in kindergarten, class, school, institute will definitely 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 office of the registry office "RG" talked 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, Keith, 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: Anikei, 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 Koroleva 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 strangers 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, the author of which is 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.

Compared to him, the full name of Miss S. Ellen Georgiana Ser-Lekken from Montana in the USA is mere trifles, only 598 letters. A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain either. The famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomukeno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso.

And in France there lived a family deprived of a surname. Instead, she wore 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. The last representative of this strange family, Mr March 1792, died in September 1904.
