Unusual names always carry a challenge to the norms generally accepted in society. On the one hand, this is an unusual fate, on the other hand, it is an increased burden on a person.
What can you advise parents who decide to give their child an unusual name?
It is one thing to give a child an old, long-forgotten name from an old name book. A name that was once popular but is no longer used. And it's quite another thing to come up with a new name.
First of all, you need to think about whether the child himself will like the name.
The name should not cause ridicule and surprise among the people around.
The first name should be well combined with the surname and patronymic.
The name should be easy to pronounce and evoke positive emotions.
Of course, name the child strange, unusual name- this is the right of the parents, but when the egoism of the parents stands behind the name of the child, the child has to pay for it. To pay with complexes, failures, isolation and the eternal question: "For what?"
Not every adult, not to mention a child, is able to cope with the name imposed on him and with increased psychological stress.
And yet, there have always been and always will be strange and unusual names that go beyond all limits.
How many strange names are given to modern children! Such strange, exotic names include modern political names, serial names, revolutionary names, as well as names associated with hobbies and strong impressions of parents.
Below is a list of real names registered by official bodies.

With an unusual or strange name, it's hard to be an ordinary person.
To give or not to give a child an unusual or strange name is up to the parents. In itself, an unusual name creates a sense of distinction in a person. In many cases, an unusual beautiful name can help you realize yourself in a creative profession.
Unusual double names
Many nations have a tradition of giving a child double names (two names), this is due to national customs. Today, many parents call their children double names. Including unusual double names. And there are various reasons for this:
The double name sounds original and memorable.
A double name can be strong because of the second name.
The double name gives protection from negative energy effects.
People with double names have much more opportunities.
Parents cannot agree on the choice of a name for the child, so they make a compromise decision - to give a double name.
Double names are widespread in Europe and South America, but in Russia they have not yet received wide distribution.
As a middle name, personal names, common names, geographical names, etc. are used.

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.
The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.
Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.
People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.
So please be careful!
Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

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.
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).

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.
