Parents, trying to highlight their child and make him special, often do not think about how many problems unusual name can bring to a person. It is not for nothing that from time immemorial it was believed that it influences the fate of its owner.

Traditions of antiquity

Since ancient times, names have been given to people not only as a sign of distinction from others. They were a reflection important events, features of life, character, fate, seasons and much more. They were not of a mass nature, so it was rare to meet two or three people who had the same name. When naming the child, parents wanted to endow him with special qualities. Maybe that’s why people lived in peace, harmony, love, wisdom, were hardworking, and brave.

Trends of the times

Unusual female names are often dedicated to deities. Muse, Aphrodite, Maya, Aurora - sonorous, beautiful, elegant. They excite the imagination, amaze, delight, and even envy. The custom of naming children in honor of the gods came to us from other countries.

Another tradition causes conflicting feelings - naming girls in honor of events taking place in the country and the world. The most unusual names began to be given to girls after the 1917 revolution. There were so many of them that no one was surprised if a woman’s name was Oktyabrina, Revmira, Idea, Iskra.

IN Soviet time this tradition continued. There were many registered girls whose names were very strange: Dazdraperma (Long live May 1st), Pofistala (Victor of fascism Joseph Stalin), Perkosraka (First space rocket). Revolution, Turbine, Electrification, Privatization, Vyborina - understandable, but not in harmony with the female image.

The results of parents’ extraordinary thinking and their excessive imagination are still encountered today. IN last years registered in the archives of the REGISTRY OFFICE: Viagra, Afigenia, Joy, Medmiya, Trishka, Vanna. And their unusual list headed by: Kalita, Luna, Russia, Tsarina, Milagres.

In Russia, in recent years, girls have often been called names that are unusual for us: Adele, Aurelia, Isadora, Bazhena, Juliet, Darena, Diodora, Dilia, Iraida, Malvina. Their list can be continued for a long time.

Borrowed names often do not combine with surnames. And parents should think about this too. After all, problems for children can begin quite early. early age, when peers begin to pay attention to the disharmony of the sound of the first and last names. These difficulties can make the child uncommunicative, secretive, and shy. Therefore, often, having become adults, many people are in a hurry to change their first or last name.
