Top 10: The most unusual names in the world
1st place: Some time ago in France there lived a family deprived of the most ordinary surname. Instead, she “wore” a set of numbers - 1792. And four sons in this family bore the names of the months of the year. Thus, in the passport and other documents it looked like this: January 1792, February 1792, March 1792 and April 1792. The last representative of this strange family, “Mr. March 1792,” died in September 1904.
2nd place: And the Jackson family from Chicago branded their five children, naming them: Meningitis, Laryngitis, Appendicitis, Peritonitis, Tonsillitis.

Two kilograms of rice are a memory of the gift sent by the state: this is the measure of rice that is given out by decision of the authorities for each child born.
6th place: I think that after this a girl named Princess Diana and a boy christened Hamlet, born in Kharkov in 1998, will seem to you just a little innocent prank of their parents

Her loved ones call her Snowwool or simply Oli. Well, the census takers, apparently, put it even simpler: “Oh, Lord! She’s here again!”
9th place: In the Hawaiian Islands, the youngest daughter of the owner of one of the local restaurants entered one of the schools in the city of Honolulu. Her first and last name consist of 102 letters. Here they are: Napu-Amo-Hala-Ona-Ona-Aneka-Wehi-Wehi-Ona-Hiwea-Nena-Wawa-Keho-Onka-Kahe-Hea-Leke-Ea-Ona-Ney-Nana-Nia-Keko-Oa -Oga-Wan-Ika-Wanao. They were never able to include it in the class magazine. In Russian this means: "Numerous beautiful flowers of the mountains and valleys begin to fill Hawaii's length and breadth with their fragrance."
10th place: The famous artist Pablo Picasso is known to everyone. But not everyone knows the full set of his first and last names. Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz and Picasso. There are 93 letters in his first and last name.

There are people who love everything simple and ordinary. But there are those who prefer either to live in an original way, or to surround themselves with something original in life. These are the kind of people who make parents who give their newborn daughters and sons rare, original or bizarre names. Our top 10 most unusual names in Russia will tell you about such unexpected variants of names that were officially registered in Russia.
Some ancient Slavic names have survived to this day. Each of them carries a meaning that reveals the character and temperament of a person with a certain name. Therefore, the Slavs in ancient times carefully considered the name of their newborn before attaching “name features” to him for the rest of his life. Such names, which from the status of “ancient” took on the status of “modern”, include Rada, Yarina, Mira, Linara, Kaleria, Iraida, Zabava, Zhelanna, Vitalina, Bazhena.
If parents are fans of any popular fantasy series or connoisseurs of a literary work on which a fantasy film is based, then their newborn child may be the bearer of a “fictitious name.” For example, the names Daenerys, Arya, Varys, Theon, Cersei are found. These names were invented by George R.R. Martin for the characters in his series of fantasy novels, A Song of Ice and Fire.
In ancient times, if a person was of a noble family or tribe, there was always a title before the name. It was a different time, a different society. Modern parents have turned titles into names and elevated their children to Princes, Kings, Princes and Counts. Why did they instill in their little ones psychologically a certain superiority over others (so psychologists believe).
Parents who appreciate the beauty of the world around them sometimes choose “natural names” for their children. A girl named Rose will no longer surprise anyone, but there are also more unusual options: for example, Moon, Cherry, Oceana, Rainbow, Sun, Flower, Dawn, Dolphin and Dolphin.
The first name is Vlapunal. The boy was named after the current president of Russia and his name consists of the initial letters of the phrase “Vladimir Putin is our leader.” The middle name is Medmiya. In 2011, happy parents gave their newborn daughter the name Medmiya in honor of the then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
After the revolution, people's hearts were filled with patriotic feelings. So they came up with names for their children, making them up from the initial letters of several words. The first name is Lorierik (consists of capital letters of seven words: Lenin, October Revolution, Industrialization, Electrification, Radiofication, and Communism). The middle name is Uryurvkos (“Hurray, Yura in space!”). The third name is Kukutsapol (from the slogan “Corn is the queen of fields”). The fourth name is Lagshmivara (“Schmidt’s Camp in the Arctic”). The fifth name is Dazdraperma (derived from the slogan “Long Live the First of May!”).
There is often a special story associated with the birth of a child. One expectant mother decided to immortalize the story of her daughter’s birth in her name. When the girl was born, her dad was on a business trip to Syria. As a result, the mother gave her newborn daughter the name Syria. There are also other “geographical names”: India, America, Byzantium, Sevastopol, Parisians, etc.
In 1998, two names were registered in one of the registry offices: “Princess Diana” for a girl and “Hamlet” for a boy. Parents seem to be adults, but there’s no place without pranks.
In Nizhny Tagil you can meet a little girl whose name is Russia Shramkova. There is a similar situation in another city in the country. The patriotic parents named their child Russia (after the surname Kitsenko).
In one of the registry offices of the Moscow region, the name of the girl Viagra was registered. Nikolai (a driver by profession) and Anastasia (a housewife) live in the city of Korolev. They give three reasons for choosing such an unusual name for their child. Firstly, the name is original and sounds beautiful. Secondly, their child was long-awaited and the baby was conceived with the assistance of the drug Viagra. Thirdly, they are long-time fans of the musical group “VIA Gra”.
If you decide to name your child some unusual name, you should think it over carefully in advance. After all, your child (by your grace) will be under increased attention. And who knows, maybe this excessive attention will put psychological pressure on him, interfering with his lifestyle. I wish your children beautiful names that will bring them only joy.
North Carolina resident Jennifer Thornburg changed her name to her Internet address for ideological reasons. Now the 19-year-old girl's name is CutoutDissection.com - “putting an end to dissection.”
So, in Sweden there lives a boy named Oliver Google. His father, who has a PhD in search marketing, decided to name his child after his favorite search engine.
102 letter surname
In Spain this year it was decided to hold the first ever
This is all due to the fact that in the first years of the 19th century, when Huerta del Rey was a tiny village, when the eldest child in the family died, it was customary to transfer his name to the youngest, and so on ad infinitum... As a result, a lot of namesakes appeared.
The secretary of the local government decided to carry out reforms in order to avoid confusion, including in the transfer of inheritance rights, inventory of property and delivery of correspondence. Therefore, on birth certificates, he began to assign names to children from ancient martyrologies. There was no more confusion, but the village was flooded with namesakes of citizens and senators of Ancient Rome. The population of Huerta del Rey numbers 900 people, the names of three hundred of them cannot be called familiar to Spain - Sicily, Geronides, Burgundonfora or Filogonia. “Our district may well become a reference for any study of the etymology of rare names,” says José Angel Sebastiano, the initiator of the forum.
A lush set of names is not uncommon in Spain. Few people know that the famous artist Pablo Picasso's full name is Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Maria de los Remedios Crispin Crispignano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
The title of the area where residents are given the most unusual names is disputed with the village of Huerta del Rey by the Kandhmal region in India. Its residents greet each other something like this: “Hello, Two Kilos of Rice!” or “Hello, Silver Dollar!”. There is also a guy named “I love potatoes.”
By the way, the longest name in the world is borne by an Indian named Brahmatra. It consists of 1478 letters, representing a series of names of historical places, names of famous diplomats, theologians, scientists, etc. merged together. It takes at least ten minutes to read it.
In comparison, the full name of Miss S. Ellen Georgiane Ser-Lecken from Montana in the USA is very short. The first letter C is the beginning of the name, which consists of only 598 letters. But her relatives still call her Snowwool or simply Oli for short.
And the youngest daughter of the owner of one of the local restaurants entered one of the schools in the city of Honolulu on the Hawaiian Islands. Her first and last name consist of 102 letters. The name Napu Amo Hala Ona Ona Aneka Wehi Milestones Ona Hiwea Nena Wawa Keho Onka Kahe Hea Leke Ea Ona Nei Nana Nia Keko Oa Oga Wan Ika Wanao translates as “the numerous beautiful flowers of the mountains and valleys begin to fill the length and breadth of Hawaii with their fragrance.” They were never able to include it in the class magazine.
Psychologist John Train gives examples of the most awkward names among Americans. So, the Mai family from New Orleans chose the names for their daughters: Mu, Wu, Gu. And the Jackson family from Chicago named their children Meningitis, Laryngitis, Appendicitis, Peritonitis and Tonsillitis.
In Latin America, parents love to give their children exotic names. A quick look through the Venezuelan phone book reveals names like Taj Mahal Sanchez, Elvis Presley Gomez Morilo, Darwin Lenin Jimenez and even Hitler Eufemio Mayora.
In Ecuador, the civil registry office even refuses to issue documents to persons with extravagant or offensive names. Among the “masterpieces” invented by the inhabitants of the province of Manabi, where many of these Ecuadorians live, there are Super Strong Cement, Sports Cavalcade, Hard Football Victory, Chicken Paw and International Conflict.
However, some are even less lucky with a name - two hundred years ago in France there lived a family completely devoid of a surname. Instead, it was called a set of numbers - 1792. And four sons in this family bore the names of the months of the year. In the passport and other documents it looked like this: January 1792, February 1792, March 1792 and April 1792. The last representative of this strange family, Mr. March 1792, died in September 1904.
