The name given at birth accompanies a person all his life. And as often happens, it has a very big influence whether the name is euphonious or not. It may happen that, having matured, the owner of an objectionable name decides to change it. Therefore, it is so important to try to choose a beautiful name for the newborn, which the child, and later the adult, will be proud of.

Chasing Fashion

The name received from parents is a kind of symbol that accompanies a person throughout his life. Young parents sometimes argue for a very long time about how to name a newborn. It happens that mom and dad do not want to agree with each other in any way. Studying the rating of names, they select the ones they like the most and offer them for discussion.

At all times there are popular and rare names. But if you choose a name depending on its rating, you should understand that fashion is changeable. The ranking of names will vary from year to year.

When choosing a trendy baby name, remember that things can change after a while. It will go from popular to rare.

And howwas before

When choosing a name, think first of all about the child who will live with him all his life. After all, it got ridiculous when, at the beginning of the 20th century, children were named after the leaders of the communist movement, or they were given names made up of their loud slogans.

So the name Dazdraperma appeared, which was made up of the words: long live the first of May. Agree, it’s not very sonorous and stupid for a baby to be called that.

Or here is Gertrude. It seems that this name is foreign, but no. It stands for "heroine of labour". Another, reminiscent of the American, the name Idlen, is composed of "Lenin's idea".

And how do you like it - Kukutsapol, which means: corn is the queen of the fields. Or Karmiya - Red Army.

The boys also did not stand aside. In the 40s of the 20th century, the rating of male names was headed by: Vector - Great Communism triumphs, and Leninid - Lenin's ideas.

Here are some more interesting names: Electrification, Bow, Tractor, Turbine, Railcar.

It can be seen that the people were trying with might and main to give their children sonorous and fashionable names, but the parents did not at all think that the slogans might soon change. And they didn’t think about how the baby would then live with that name.

Custom names

Compiling a rating of popular names, you can contact the registry office. They can almost always provide information about unusual names. Although in Russia it is not as common as, for example, in America, children are given non-standard names, but there are still cases.

Usually call the baby outside the box andunusual in a family where the father or mother is of foreign origin. So, according to the registry offices of Moscow and the Moscow region, some children received such names as Count, Mercury, Matvey-Rainbow, Luke-Happiness, Russia, Delight, Joy, Delphine, Sofia-Sun.

Registration office workers are likely to register a child with an unusual name. But if it is too non-standard and wonderful, parents are dissuaded. Or they may even refuse to record a phrase unlike the name on the birth certificate, and give the child a common name.

Rare names

Recently it has become fashionable to choose the name of the baby according to the calendar. Parents try to find out on the day of which patron the child was born and give him this name.

Studying the ranking of female names over the past decade, one can see a trend towards the return of beautiful, but once forgotten names. So, now such names for girls as Vasilisa, Varvara and Ulyana are very popular.

From the historical past, Matvey, Bogdan, Timofey, Luka, Akim and Karl entered the rating of names for boys.

Complex names

After the Great October Revolution, when the baptism of a newborn was not considered mandatory, moreover, harmful, girls began to come up with complex names.

Why girls? This is explained by the fact that in the future a patronymic will be made on behalf of the boy. Therefore, male names were chosen simpler and more convenient. Such requirements were not put forward for girls, and parents showed wild imagination.
