HAVE AN OPINION

Forward, son of Velesvet. What do I need in your name

Column by "VM" columnist Mikhail Vinogradov

Evangeline! - shouted, turning her head, a tall stooped woman, apparently a grandmother. - Come, sit down here!

I shuddered and looked at the subway car in a haunted manner. I wanted to shake my head to let the water flow out of my ears, but it wasn't there. “Maybe Eva Angelina?” I reassured myself. When I myself was the age of this "Evangeline" in a purple ski suit, the girls around me responded to Lena, Masha, or - in the very last resort– Nonnu().

Give me a human name, mom

Column by "VM" columnist Anna Povago

There will be no more Dolphins Ivanovich and Sofiy-Solnyshek Nikolaevna in the capital: the State Duma still approved a bill banning naming children with non-standard and ridiculous names. That's not all: the document will be finalized by the second reading, and the list of incorrect names will be expanded ().

Moms and dads continue to love unusual names and call them their children. New data on how boys and girls were called in the first quarter of 2017 was presented in the capital's Office of the Civil Registry Office.

So, now boys with the names Lavr, Achilles, Potap and two Thomas live in Moscow. As for the girls, one of them was named Uma by the parents. Also in the capital, you can now meet two Ophelia, Serena and Juno. By the way, among such rare names as Elizabeth, Francesca, Paola, Julia and Iris, the once popular name Zinaida suddenly appeared, which two girls received.

Rare exotic names for children are called both by foreign families for whom these names are familiar, and by Russians who want their child to stand out with an unusual name. Families where one of the parents is a citizen of Russia and the other a foreign state can also name the child Harry, Matteo or Ophelia,

Explained in the press service of the registry office in Moscow.

Muscovites are also increasingly turning to traditional Slavic and Greek variants.

The list of popular names has changed slightly compared to last year. Alexander leads among boys. This name was given to 764 babies. Mikhail this time moved from fourth to second place (655 children), while Artem retained the third position (630 children). This is followed by such names as Danila (Daniel, Danil), Maxim, Ivan, Dmitry, Kirill, Timofey and Yegor. Last year and the year before last, Andrey was in the top ten, but now it has moved to 13th place. Instead, the 9th place was taken by the name Timothy (363 babies).

In the ranking of female names, there are even fewer changes. The top three have maintained their positions since 2015. In the first place - Sophia or Sofia (925 babies), followed by Maria (638 girls) and Anna (580 babies). For the first time, Alice (517 newborns) was on the fourth line of the rating, followed by Anastasia, Polina, Victoria and Alexandra. The top 10 also included Ksenia and Ekaterina, who previously occupied places in the top twenty.

Recall that now parents have much less opportunity to call their child a strange name. In early May, Vladimir Putin signed a law introducing some bans. Now, according to article 58 of the Family Code, “it is not allowed to use numbers, alphanumeric designations, numerals, symbols and signs that are not letters, with the exception of the hyphen sign, or any combination of them, or swear words, indications of ranks, positions, titles." Previously, it was expected that compound names and abbreviated names could also fall under the ban. However, legislators decided that many of these names have already entered into practice, and therefore it is not worth changing the situation.

In 2017, 127 newborns were registered, of which 71 were boys and 56 were girls. Popular male names this year were: Mikhail, Andrey, Artyom, Grigory, Miron. Women - Sofia (Sofya), Vasilisa, Alice, Margarita.
Rarely used still include such traditional names, like Irina, Vera, Julia, Natalya, Alexander, Evgeny, Sergey, Igor. For comparison: 2014 - 226 children were registered; 100 boys and 126 girls. The most used names: Mikhail, Artyom, Pavel - for boys; Maria, Daria, Ksenia - for girls. 2015 - registered - 194 newborns; boys - 111, girls - 83. Common names: male - Dmitry, Artyom, Maxim; female - Mary, Elizabeth, Anna. 2016: 186 babies are registered in the registry office. Boys - 100, girls - 86. Popular male names of 2016 - Artyom, Ilya, Maxim; female - Maria, Victoria, Elizabeth.
In 2017, 156 happy family unions were registered. By age estimate, we can say that most of the grooms are over the age of 35, and the brides are between the ages of 25 and 34. The same pattern was observed in 2016. In 2014 and 2015 the largest number of brides and grooms belonged to the category from "25 to 34".
Last year, 15 marriages with foreign citizens were registered. Ukraine still leads the top three - 6 people, Azerbaijan, Moldova and Belarus 2 people each. For comparison: in 2014 - 21 marriages with foreign citizens. Ukraine - 9 people; Tajikistan - 3 people; Uzbekistan - 3 people 2015 - 36 marriages with citizens of other states. Ukraine - 20 people; Tajikistan - 4 people; Moldova - 3 people 2016 - 19 interstate marriages: Ukraine - 8, Uzbekistan - 4, Tajikistan - 2.
In 2017, 94 divorces were registered. For comparison: in 2016 - 100, in 2015 - 94, in 2014 - 141. The main age category of divorced people is citizens from 25 to 39 years old.
The sad statistics on the people who left us are as follows: 2017 - 208 people, of which 109 were men, 99 were women. For comparison: 2016 claimed 234 people (leap year!), 117 men and 117 women. In 2015, 182 people died: 86 men and 96 women. In 2014, 204 people died from us. 115 men and 89 women.
In the past year, 11 records of acts of name change were drawn up in the registry office. Of these, 9 changes were made by women and 2 by men. This is a common, predictable situation. I want to clarify right away that, in accordance with the civil code Russian Federation, the name of a person includes three components: a proper name, patronymic and surname. Therefore, it is possible to change one, two or all components of the name. Men are more likely to change their proper name and surname. Women are more likely to change their last name. For comparison: 2014 - 17 name changes and of them - men - 4 people, women - 13 people. 2015 - 12 name changes, men - 5, women - 7.
In 2016 - 19 people applied for a name change, incl. 3 men and 16 women.
Ahead is 2018. On these Holy Days, I want to wish everyone health, optimism, love and, of course, magic.

In addition to the most common names for boys in 2017, moms and dads will turn to the Orthodox tradition and name the newborn in honor of the saint. It is believed that in this way the child receives his patron. In this case, when choosing, you need to focus on the date of birth and choose from the list indicated in the table:

dadzdraperma. I mean, LOVE TO THE FIRST OF MAY. Or, here Lachecamora- from the abbreviation of the phrase “Chelyuskin camp in the Kara Sea. How do you like this name for your daughter - impressive? 🙂 Well, it certainly makes you shudder, right?

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 come to a scandal. 🙂 For example, a grandmother categorically disagrees that her granddaughter be called an unusual, foreign name for her (grandmother's) hearing. Threaten to disinherit. 🙂 And as a result, the child does not get the glamorous name Jane, but the more familiar Jeanne.

But still ... If you go in a not so radical and extraordinary way, then how to choose a name for your beloved baby? After all, the child will live with him for many, many years!

But you want to choose a name for your child at the same time sonorous, beautiful, and “not hackneyed”, right? Well, not like half the class. 🙂 Fortunately, baby names give the widest scope for imagination to any creative person.

Here is about one of these ways to come up with something beautiful for a child, but at the same time original name I want to tell you today. Actually, in fact, everything is quite simple here, and I will not reveal anything new to you. But there will be specifics - more than enough! 🙂

I mean, choose names that are at the bottom of the popularity list today. Where can you get such statistics? Yes, in the registry office, of course! Well, on the "Children" yet. 🙂 I will present you all the most important excerpts literally “on a silver platter”

However, the statistics of registry offices, however, do not seem so unusual. Over the past 5-6 years, there have been no big 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 the last year according to the statistics of the registry offices of Moscow

Yes Yes. How could I do without the exotic. 🙂 Muscovites do not forget about unusual names.

And oddly enough, but the political situation in the world has a direct impact on this process.

So, one newborn was named Syria(at this time her father was on work in this country of the Middle East). Other exotic names in the past three years have been:

1. Sevastopol;
2. Olympics;
3. Byzantium;
4. Moon;
5. Alena-Flower;
6. Radostina;
7. Dolphin;

10. Lutobor;
11. Zaryanica;
12. India;
13. Rosiyana.

By the way... Insanity won't go away!

Such “inhuman” self-made names for children by parents led to the fact that in November last year a special bill was proposed regarding names.

He must legally prohibit use in names people any characters, numbers, punctuation marks.

Surprisingly, the authorities 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 after his parents. BOC rVF 260602

This means - B biological ABOUT object H man R Oh yeah IN orin- F rolled, born June 26, 2002 of the year.

Interestingly, he still cannot get documents in his name. And all because the registry office itself took up the protection of the interests of the child. The head of the department, Victoria Pashkova, is sure that parents should take the choice of a name very seriously.

Not funny? Not funny. Scary! After all, a person will have to live with such a name, if not all his life, then for quite some time. To be in a certain society, to get used to the opinion of strangers regarding their name.

Of course, the state cannot tell a person how 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 to go. At least for the sake of the future of their children. And if Lutobor or Radostina do not sound so ugly, then BOC rVF 260602 ...
