Popular names of the year registry office statistics. They don’t choose him: Astrakhan women with unusual names
Dadzdraperma. I mean, LOG LIVE THE FIRST OF MAY. Or, here Lachekamora- from the abbreviation of the phrase “CAMP CHELUSKINTS in the KARA SEA. How do you like this name for your daughter? Is it impressive? 🙂 Well, that certainly makes you shudder, doesn’t it?
Choosing a name for a child is a matter of special, “family” importance. Often all family members take part in this event, and often it can even lead to a scandal. 🙂 For example, a grandmother categorically disagrees with her granddaughter being called an unusual name that is foreign to her (grandmother’s) hearing. Threatens to disinherit. 🙂 And as a result, the child receives not the glamorous name Jane, but the more familiar Zhanna.
But still... If you take a less radical and extraordinary path, then how to choose a name for your beloved child? The child will live with him for many, many years!
But you want to choose a name for your child that is both sonorous, beautiful, and “not hackneyed,” right? Well, not like half the class. 🙂 Fortunately, children's names give the widest scope for imagination to any creative person.
I want to tell you today about one of these ways to come up with a beautiful, but at the same time original name for your child. Actually, everything here is actually quite simple, and I won’t reveal anything new to you. But there will be more than enough specifics! 🙂
So, a secret that is not a secret at all:
Look at the statistics: which names are most popular today and which ones are less popular. And do the opposite! :)
I mean, choose names that are at the bottom of the popularity list today. Where can I get such statistics? Yes, in the registry office, of course! Well, on “Children” too. 🙂 I will now present you with all the most important excerpts literally “on a platter”
However, the statistics from civil registry offices, nevertheless, do not seem so unusual. Over the past 5-6 years, there have been no major changes among parents when choosing a name for their child. If you believe the data of the relevant authorities, then mothers and fathers most often call their sons and daughters by the names indicated in this table.

The most unusual names of last year according to statistics from Moscow registry offices
Yes yes. How could I do without the exotic? 🙂 Muscovites don’t forget about unusual names.
And oddly enough, this process is directly influenced by the political situation in the world.
So, one newborn was named Syria(at that time her father was in this Middle Eastern country for work). Other exotic names over the past three years have been:
- Sevastopol;
- Olympics;
- Byzantium;
- Moon;
- Alena-Flower;
- Radostina;
- Dolphin;
- Ocean;
- Mercury;
- Lutobor;
- Zaryanitsa;
- India;
- Rosiyana.
By the way... Insanity will not pass!
Such “inhuman” names for children, independently invented by parents, led to the fact that in November last year a special bill concerning names was proposed.
He must at the legislative level prohibit use in names people any symbols, numbers, punctuation marks.
Surprisingly, the authorities have realized the level of abuse on the part of parents when choosing a name for a child.
You may not believe me, but one boy was named by his parents BOCH rVF 260602
This means - B iological ABOUT object H person r ode IN Oronin- F rolovyh, born June 26, 2002 year.
Interestingly, he still cannot get documents in his name. And all because the registry office itself took up the task of protecting the interests of the child. The head of the department, Victoria Pashkova, is confident that parents should take choosing a name very seriously.
Isn't it funny? Not funny. Scary! After all, a person will have to live with such a name, if not all his life, then for quite a long time. Being in a certain society, getting used to the opinions of strangers regarding your name.
Of course, the state cannot tell a person what to name his son or daughter. But the person himself needs to understand that there are certain limits of decency beyond which it is not recommended. At least for the sake of the future of their children. And if Lyutobor or Radostina don’t sound so ugly, then BOC rVF 260602...
It’s difficult to even comment on this. And you say or Dadzdraperma Vitalievna... It turns out that our grandparents had no imagination. 🙂

Keywords and synonyms
Fashion is fickle, changeable and affects absolutely all areas. The fashion for names has always existed, and each generation had its own trends and concepts of how to name the unborn child. Some have been popular for centuries, while others are fleeting and quickly become a thing of the past. If you go back about a hundred years ago, you can see that the following were considered the most popular among girls:
Main principles of choice
When choosing, parents immediately check the consonance with the patronymic, which is very correct, since sometimes there are quite funny dissonances: Yulia Yuryevna, John Ivanovich, Venera Petrovna, etc. You should also be careful when naming a child after the father. For example, Eduard Eduardovich has a complex pronunciation that confuses the language.
Patronymic gradation
When choosing a name for a child, remember that middle names can be hard and soft, and it is important to maintain a balance here:
- Soft: Ivanovich, Ilyich, Nikolaevich, Mikhailovich.
- Neutral: Artemovich, Maksimovich, Kirillovich.
- Hard: Arturovich, Eduardovich, Albertovich.
The correct name will be the one that has the same sound as the patronymic: Varvara Mikhailovna, Margarita Eduardovna, Artem Igorevich, Ivan Petrovich.
Combination with surname
The first name should sound harmonious with the last name. Therefore, it is not recommended to give the baby an intricate name if his last name is Ivanov or Sidorov. For Russian surnames, Russian names are well suited, for foreign ones - foreign ones. When sounding, a harmonious sound series should be built, pleasant to the ear, and this can be achieved without piling up consonants at the junction. Example: Lebedev Ilya, not Lebedev Vladlen.
It is not advisable to give a name that will make the child the full namesake of a famous person, actor, writer or poet. If the surname does not have an ending indicating gender, there is no need to choose a name that can be both male and female: Sasha, Zhenya.
Select by time of year
Sometimes the name is chosen according to the time of year when the baby was born. This decision is correct, as it bestows the owner with special energy. A seasonal name will help smooth out the rough edges of your character, highlight positive aspects and enhance good qualities.
Winter babies
Winter children have a tempered character, purposeful and courageous. At the same time, children born in difficult times are stubborn, composure and strict. To soften the natural character and smooth out the corners, it is customary to give the most popular female names of 2016 soft ones:
- Girls: Sofia, Anastasia, Ulyana, Ksenia, Anna, Maria, Vasilisa.
- Boys: Semyon, Lev, Nikita, Philip, Ilya, Ivan, Elisha, Fadey, Maxim.
Spring babies
Children born in spring are talented, changeable, charming and sensitive. Sometimes they show excessive selfishness, strive to get what they want at any cost, but at the same time they are indecisive. These children lack a fighting spirit, which sonorous names will help to instill:
- Girls: Zhanna, Varvara, Larisa, Zlata, Marina, Alexandra, Olga, Daria.
- Boys: Dmitry, Zakhar, German, Sergey, Mark, Arkady, Denis, Georgy, Maxim.
Summer kids
Children of summer are all positive things, puns and a lot of noise. They are very purposeful, proud and self-confident. No names can disturb their inner peace and harmony, so you can choose the ones you like. The most suitable are:
- Girls: Sofia, Maria, Faina, Elena, Rimma, Ulyana, Angelina, Milena, Antonina.
- Boys: Julian, Prokhor, Semyon, Nikolai, Stepan, Mark, Nikita, Gleb, Arkhip, Fedor.
Autumn babies
Autumn children are very smart, make decisions quickly and have high performance in school. But at the same time, they are too practical, have few friends, and do not like noisy gatherings. You can adjust your character with the help of romantic and bright names:
- Girls: Serafima, Antonina, Christina, Elena, Nadezhda, Elizaveta, Ksenia, Anfisa, Sofia.
- Boys: Igor, Fedor, Daniil, Nestor, David, Maxim, Timofey, Rodion, Bogdan, Ilya.
When thinking about what to name their unborn child, parents study the popular female and male names in 2016, which are most relevant for this time. However, you should not always rely on fashion; you also need to take into account other criteria that are no less important. A name is an important component of individuality, a magical formula of fate and a kind of sacred formula of the person himself. That is why parents need to take the choice of their child’s name as responsibly as possible.
