They celebrated their sons with neologisms born of the October Revolution, successes Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorable professions: Potassium, Tungsten, Comrade, Median, 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.

Take into account the sound of the name along with the patronymic.

Do not give children obligatory names: Count, Strongman, Beauty, etc.

Don't name your children after your favorite heroes. The name Harry Potter or Monster High is unlikely to appeal to an older child.

Abroad, there is a linguistic name verification service. Experts check that the planned name for the child sounds decent in other languages ​​of the world.

All parents, without exception, long before the birth of their baby, went through a huge number of names in order to find something worthy for their newborn child, and this has always been the case. But often potential mothers and fathers go through not only well-known names, but also the most unusual Russian names, among which are a huge number unknown to the world and little-known even in our Russian society.

Well, in our next article we just want to talk about what the most unusual Russian names exist, and which of them were in demand in the territory of modern Russia...

Male unusual Russian names

In general, there are many strange names, in particular Russian ones. But be that as it may, the strangest Russian names, male and female, appeared precisely during the existence of Soviet Union. Then name forms were invented by everyone who needed it, and this was done according to the simplest scheme - a child was born, and he was given a name dedicated to the date of his birth. The name of such a child could be a combination of several words, or even several surnames of famous celebrities.

In addition, the most unusual Russian male names were then neologisms; babies born were named after October revolution, in honor of Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorable professions and everything that could come to mind to the Soviet man. This is how children were born, who were given such strange Russian variations of names as Potassium, Wolfram, Decembrist, Median, and even Tankman.

Today, unfortunately, you will no longer meet people named in this way, but this is only because at one time there was a period when people in to a greater extent changed their names to the most famous, more common ones.

Returning to main topic. I would like to note that the strangest name forms were created not according to the previously discussed scheme, but according to a different one - the present folk art was manifested in moments of revolution, on the basis of slogans and appeals, for example. For example, there are such Russian variations as:

- Arvil - stands for “Army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin”;

— Kukutsapol – “corn” plus “king of the fields”;

— Whist – the historical power of labor is great;

- Villur - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved his Motherland;

— Papir is a party pyramid.

Or in those days they could call a boy even, not just an unusual, but a completely strange and even unpleasant name. Such nominal variations include Vil, Constipation, Pofivstal and others.

Strange name forms for women

Unusual and strange female names exist even today - girls were called by strange names much more often, but most of them were still beautiful despite their strangeness. So, to this day there are such variations as;

— Dinera is a child of the new era;

— Velira – great and working;

- Artaka - artillery academy;

— Donera is the daughter of a new era.

In general, even the most unusual names were not a novelty then, no one was surprised by this, but what is much more interesting is that girls in some regions of our country are called variations of the past even today. So, five years ago, in one of the remote regions, a girl’s name was found that sounded like “Dazdrasmyga”, and this, whatever one may say, is a Soviet variation, which stands for “long live the bond of city and village.”

Modern most unusual female and male names

IN modern times There are also newly created unusual names, both for women and for men. So, here are the most interesting and at the same time stupid ones:

- Yausyauh - I'm tired, I'm leaving;

- Vlaput - Vladimir Putin;

- Vsepod - all scum;

- Vinovoda - in honor of Novodvorskaya;

- Ganju - in honor of Gennady Zyuganov;

— Porof is a disgrace to Russian football.

And there are also such unusual variations as Dogzeb, Valino, Vovviko, Ganju, Gazyuga, Irmukha, Yavliga, Makahod, and Yumluzh. All these names really exist, and the owners of some of them still live with these names. But this is in Russia, and as for the West, the era of invented names is completely progressing there. So, for example, in the USA, children are named after stars, both sports and pop, film actors and presidents, and naturally, they simply come up with them based on various personal motives.

On the disadvantages of rare and unusual names

Researchers for a long time in turn, studied such names and came to several interesting conclusions. The main one of these conclusions indicates that all the most unusual Russian male and female names are endowed with strong energy, one on which the entire life of the named person will depend in the future - a rather interesting factor.

The second factor indicates that if the name form of a boy or girl is too strange, the child will feel defective and inferior all his life, which will accordingly affect his psychological state and self-confidence.

Well, the third, but no less important factor, talks about the meaning of the name, which in turn is simply absent in such names - that is, the influence of astrological symbols, such as the patron planet, element, and even the talisman stone is lost.
