Dadzdraperma. I mean, LOG LIVE THE FIRST OF MAY. Or, here Lachekamora- from the abbreviation of the phrase “CAMP CHELUSKINTS in the KARA SEA. How do you like this name for your daughter? Is it impressive? 🙂 Well, that certainly makes you shudder, doesn’t it?

Choosing a name for a child is a matter of special, “family” importance. Often all family members take part in this event, and often it can even lead to a scandal. 🙂 For example, a grandmother categorically disagrees with her granddaughter being called an unusual name that is foreign to her (grandmother’s) hearing. Threatens to disinherit. 🙂 And as a result, the child receives not the glamorous name Jane, but the more familiar Zhanna.

But still... If you take a less radical and extraordinary path, then how to choose a name for your beloved child? The child will live with him for many, many years!

But you want to choose a name for your child that is both sonorous, beautiful, and “not hackneyed,” right? Well, not like half the class. 🙂 Fortunately, children's names give the widest scope for imagination to any creative person.

I want to tell you today about one of these ways to come up with a beautiful, but at the same time original name for your child. Actually, everything here is actually quite simple, and I won’t reveal anything new to you. But there will be more than enough specifics! 🙂

So, a secret that is not a secret at all:

Look at the statistics: which names are most popular today and which ones are less popular. And do the opposite! :)

I mean, choose names that are at the bottom of the popularity list today. Where can I get such statistics? Yes, in the registry office, of course! Well, on “Children” too. 🙂 I will now present you with all the most important excerpts literally “on a platter”

However, the statistics from registry offices, nevertheless, do not seem so unusual. Over the past 5-6 years, there have been no major changes among parents when choosing a name for their child. If you believe the data of the relevant authorities, then mothers and fathers most often call their sons and daughters by the names indicated in this table.

Yes Yes. How could I do without the exotic. 🙂 Muscovites don’t forget about unusual names.

And strangely enough, but direct influence This process is influenced by the political situation in the world.

1. Sevastopol;
2. Olympics;
3. Byzantium;
4. Moon;

Such “inhuman” names for children, independently invented by parents, led to the fact that in November last year a special bill concerning names was proposed.

He must at the legislative level prohibit use in names people any symbols, numbers, punctuation marks.

Surprisingly, the authorities have realized the level of abuse on the part of parents when choosing a name for a child.

You may not believe me, but one boy was named by his parents BOCh rVF 260602

This means - B iological ABOUT object H person R Oh yeah IN Oronin- F rolovykh, born June 26, 2002 of the year.

Interestingly, he still cannot get documents in his name. And all because the registry office itself took up the task of protecting the interests of the child. The head of the department, Victoria Pashkova, is confident that parents should take choosing a name very seriously.

Not funny? Not funny. Scary! After all, a person will have to live with such a name, if not all his life, then for quite a long time. Being in a certain society, getting used to opinions strangers regarding your name.

Of course, the state cannot tell a person what to name his son or daughter. But the person himself needs to understand that there are certain limits of decency beyond which it is not recommended. At least for the sake of the future of their children. And if Lyutobor or Radostina don’t sound so ugly, then BOC rVF 260602...

Russian parents want to ban giving their children strange names

If the amendments to the law “On Civil Status Acts” prepared in the State Duma are adopted, children in Russia will not be able to be called, for example, Count, Princess or Tsarina, as was done in 2014 in different regions of the country.

Moms and dads continue to love unusual names and call their children them. New data on what boys and girls were called in the first quarter of 2017 was presented in the capital’s Civil Registry Office.

So, now there are boys in Moscow with the names Laurus, Achilles, Potap and two Thomases. As for the girls, their parents named one of them Uma. Also in the capital you can now meet two Ophelias, Serenas and Junos. By the way, among such rare names as Elizabeth, Francesca, Paola, Julia and Iris, the once popular name Zinaida suddenly appeared, which two girls received.

Rare exotic names for children are called both by foreign families for whom these names are familiar, and by Russians who want their child to stand out with an unusual name. Families where one of the parents is a citizen of Russia and the other is a foreign country can also name their child Harry, Matteo or Ophelia.

The press service of the Moscow Civil Registry Office explained.

Also, Muscovites are increasingly turning to traditional Slavic and Greek options.

The list of popular names has changed slightly compared to last year. Alexander is the leader among the boys. 764 babies received this name. This time Mikhail moved from fourth to second place (655 children), and Artem retained third position (630 children). Then follow such names as Danila (Daniil, Danil), Maxim, Ivan, Dmitry, Kirill, Timofey and Egor. Last year and the year before, the name Andrei was in the top ten, but now it has moved to 13th place. Instead, the name Timofey was in 9th place (363 babies).

There are even fewer changes in the ranking of female names. The top three have maintained their positions since 2015. In first place is Sophia or Sophia (925 babies), followed by Maria (638 girls) and Anna (580 babies). For the first time, Alisa was in fourth place in the ranking (517 newborns), followed by Anastasia, Polina, Victoria and Alexandra. The top 10 also included Ksenia and Ekaterina, who previously occupied places in the top twenty.

Let us remind you that now parents have much less opportunities to name their child a strange name. In early May, Vladimir Putin signed a law introducing some bans. Now, according to Article 58 of the Family Code, “the use of numbers, alphanumeric designations, numerals, symbols and non-letter characters, with the exception of the “hyphen” sign, or any combination thereof, or swear words, indications of ranks, positions, titles." Previously it was expected that the ban could also include compound names and abbreviated names. However, legislators decided that many such names had already become common practice, and therefore there was no point in changing the situation.

All names are divided into five conditional groups: the most popular (1-30th place), popular (31-60th place), less popular (61-85th place), rare and very rare names. This classification is practically convenient and visual. Quantitative data are brought to a single denominator - per 10,000 newborns. To get a better feel for the numbers, let us point out that approximately 65,000 girls are born in Moscow every year, and throughout Voronezh region Almost 12,000 of them are born per year.

(most popular names) frequency 100 - 700 per 10,000 newborns	(popular names) frequency 20 - 100 per 10,000 newborns	(less popular) frequency 7 - 20 per 10,000 newborns
