Perhaps one of the most common problems faced by young parents is choosing a name for their child. It also happens that the newly minted mom and dad cannot decide on this issue until the very birth of the baby. Of course, they can be understood, because such a choice is a responsible and serious matter. Everyone wants their child to have not only a beautiful, but also a rare name that would help him through life. Let's talk about how to choose an unusual name for a boy and what points to consider when naming a child in one way or another.
Think of the baby when making choices
Some parents, trying to choose the most exotic option, do not think about whether the child will live comfortably with that name, whether he will be ashamed of him in the future. In addition, you should pay attention to how the name is combined with the patronymic and surname. Otherwise, there may beridiculous situations. For example, Anders is a rare and harmonious name, but Anders Vasilyevich sounds somehow strange and even absurd. Parents, first of all, should think about their baby, because, choosing an unusual name for a boy, they doom him in advance to increased attention from others. For example, a too pretentious and strange name can make the child the object of ridicule in the class. This can lead not only to the appearance of complexes, but even to stress. Therefore, parents should tell their child from birth how beautifully they named him, so that the baby can be proud of his name and not be ashamed of it.
Things to consider when choosing an unusual name for a boy
One should think about how the child will react to his rare name, whether it will bring him nothing but grief and trouble. You also need to think about the fact that the chosen option does not cause any negative emotions or negative associations in others. For example, the name Pinochet not only sounds strange, but is also unlikely to find understanding among people in our country. Another important point is how the name is pronounced, whether it is too difficult or long. And, of course, you should not get carried away and choose too pretentious options. It is clear that for every mother her boy is a hero, but the name Hero not only sounds strange, but also imposes certain obligations on its owner from birth.
The most unusual names for boys
Fashion for certain namesmay be associated with historically significant events taking place in the world. So, for example, after the revolution, parents often came up with names that were associated with some historical incidents or dedicated to some figure. For example, Pofistal (it consists of the first letters of the phrase The winner of fascism Joseph Stalin), Uryurvkos - it’s hard to call a beautiful name, but it’s easy to call it strange (it means - Hurray, Yura in space), Perkosrak - not only bizarre, but also funny a name that means a rather serious event - the first rocket in space. But perhaps the most unusual name is the one that became the world record holder, it consists of 1478 letters. I wonder how his owner lived?
Russian names for boys
Unusual options that were relevant in ancient times are becoming popular again. If earlier the names Yaroslav or Daniel seemed unusual and rare, then today they are becoming fashionable. But a beautiful and unusual name for a boy - Dobrolyub - may seem strange to others. Here are a few more old Russian options: Dobromir, Dobrynya, Dorofey, Elisha, Ratibor, Ignat. Perhaps someday they will no longer seem strange and will gain their former popularity in our country.
