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

The mystery of the name

The ancients attached great importance to a person's name. They believed that the character, inclinations, talents, health and future fate of the child directly depended on it. Therefore, sometimes children were given the strangest names imaginable: Oak, Eagle, Snake, Lubomir, Chaste, He Who Brings Good News, Bright One, Like a Lion and many others.

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

The hidden influence of a person’s name on fate is also confirmed by scientists, explaining this by the fact that it consists of sounds certain height, which irritate significant areas of the brain, thus influencing both the bearer of the name and others. In addition, the wavelength of sound vibrations corresponds to a certain color, 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 USSR. In those years, ideology played a huge role, so patriotic parents abandoned the old bourgeois names. They celebrated their sons with neologisms born of the October Revolution, successes Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorable professions: Potassium, Tungsten, Comrade, Median, Steam Locomotive, Decembrist, Atheist, Tankman and others.

But the parents showed real creativity when they came up with names derived from slogans, revolutionary calls, party leaders: Arvil (the army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Vedlen (the great deeds of Lenin), Kukutsapol (corn is the king of the fields), Vist (the great historical power of labor), Villur (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved his Motherland), Papir (party pyramid), Vors (Voroshilov’s riflemen) or Delezh (Lenin’s deeds are alive) and many others. The people's imagination was inexhaustible!

Some of the strangest boy names even sound indecent. U modern people they evoke interesting associations: Vil (Vladimir Ilya Lenin), Zapor (for order), Pervsovstrat (the first Soviet stratospheric balloon), Thief (Great Pofivstal (fascist winner Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin).

Children in the USSR wore these strange names proudly. 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 (special Far Eastern army) and Roblen (born to be Lenin).

Unusual female names in the USSR

Girls were also awarded sonorous names in the style of the era. They were proudly named: Omega, Drezina, Iskra, Tractorina, Stalin, Artak (artillery academy), Velira (great worker), Lagshmivara (Schmidt camp in the Arctic), Gertrude Dinera (child new era) or another variant of Doner (daughter of the new era), Krarmiya (Red Army), Lapanalda (Papanin camp on an ice floe), Raitiya (district printing house), Bestrazheva (Beria - guardian of the revolution) and others.

They sound somehow inconvenient to the modern ear female names 20s of the USSR - Dazdrasmyga (long live the bond of city and village) or, as an option, Dazdraperma (long live the first of May) or Nikserkha (Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev).

I wonder what all these names sounded like in their diminutive form?

And this year, the list of Russian names was replenished with one more, when Russia was gripped by goosemania in June.

Almost 20% of parents do not have time to decide on the name of their unborn child by the time of his birth, but there are also those who cannot come to an agreement even a month after the birth of the baby. Distracted by many everyday problems, it is sometimes very difficult for a husband and wife to agree, because everyone has their own preferences and their own vision on this issue. And here, relatives, friends, and just acquaintances begin to offer their options. Fashion dictates, television promotes, how can you choose?

It is clear that every parent wishes for their child happy life. Believing that a newborn's name can define him future fate, to promote success in their personal life and career, parents often see their future in the baby’s name - and, sometimes, they choose a rare rather than a common name for their baby. Why?

• They believe that it will help the child develop certain qualities - for example, independence.
• They strive to distinguish their child from other children in advance.
• Follow family traditions, where the names of grandparents are passed down from generation to generation.

Based on these premises, it is possible to determine where rare names come from.

• The most obvious is the “well forgotten old”. Names that were used to call children many years, and sometimes centuries, ago appear in everyday life. In Russia they sound again Old Slavonic names- Bogdan, Miroslava, Tayana.
• There are very creative and progressive parents who come up with names themselves. This is how the name Svetlana appeared, although it was invented for the character, and not for her own child. And the name Stella was invented for a cycle of sonnets.
• Sometimes adults try to remember events that are important to them. This is how completely unusual names are also born, many of which later become unviable, but some of these names continue to exist - for example, Kazbek, Damir or Kim. This desire to record various historical events, places to remember and immortalize some great personalities. IN to a greater extent the Soviet names that have appeared reflect this trend, and they can be called rare (Radiy, Zarya, Vladlen, Astra).
• You can also consider rare names to be those foreign, borrowed names that are not accepted in use in a particular country. At the same time, most Christian names are duplicated in one way or another both in Catholicism and Orthodoxy (Martha - Martha, Christiana - Christina). Here are some foreign names still can be called rare - Emma, ​​Madeleine, Monica, Laura.

Rare names for girls

In Russia in Lately It became fashionable to give children Old Slavonic names. For example, the opportunity arose to personally meet Zabava or Bozhena, although such names are still considered rare. And believers will be pleased to see such girls beautiful names, like Seraphim, Pelageya or Evdokia.

What names do parents not call their children? Loving mothers and dads do not spare their own children, giving them strange, absurd, long and cacophonous names. Surely, many children with such names have a hard life, but this 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?
