The strangest names

Choosing unusual names for their children, parents are often guided by the desire to stand out, which is especially characteristic of celebrities and show business stars. Ordinary people, giving a strange name to their child, either try to influence his future fate in this way, or simply name him in honor of their idols, often dooming their child to a difficult life in the future.

1. Rich people have their own quirks, and the super-rich generally set the rules of life themselves, not only for themselves, but also for those around them. Outrageous Russian multimillionaire Sergei Polonsky named his third offspring Mirax, in honor of his company Mirax Group, which soon went bankrupt. In fairness, it should be noted that Polonsky's dog was also awarded a similar honor, the fate of which is not known further.

2. A married couple living in the Voronezh region named their newborn daughter Russia, unaware that she already has a namesake in Nizhny Tagil. In the same city lives a girl named Privatization. One can only imagine how grateful she is to her parents for originality.

3. The appearance of new names is greatly influenced by sports and show business stars. The entry of the Russian team into the semifinals in 2008 will forever be remembered by at least two people named Gus. They should be thankful for this unusual gift to the coach of the Russian national team Guus Hiddink, in the ranks of whose fans were their parents.

4. However, these guys got off with a slight fright compared to a boy named Porof, which in abbreviated form means “shame on Russian football.”

5. In the suburbs there is a boy named Reduksin, whose name his mother gave in honor of the drug, which helped her significantly reduce weight and meet her future husband. Also, a drug, or maybe a show group with the same name, caused the appearance of a girl named Viagra in the city of Korolev. Parents just explain their original choice.

6. Singer Alsou did not long suffer with the choice of a name for her eldest daughter. Safina - simply and unpretentiously, this is now the name of a girl who will always wear her mother's maiden name instead of a name.

7. If you believe that the name determines the fate, then the boy named Master should feel very good in later life. Apparently, in this way, the parents decided to bring him to another social level.

8. Recently, the Russians quite often delight the public with the names they give to their unrequited children. But at least the guy with the inimitable name Luca Happy Summerset Ocean has a choice. He can be represented by any of the four components of his name at his discretion.
