Simba, Dobrynya, Evangeline and other unusual names of star children

Star couples give birth to children, just like ordinary mortals. And in the same way they face the problem of choosing a name for a baby. Just like everyone, famous parents want it to be beautiful, and succinct, and memorable.

Recently, the singer Nyusha declassified her daughter's name. The star named the baby Simba. The news provoked a storm of discussions on the Web. We found out who else from Russian celebrities gave unusual names to children.

In November last year, Nyusha became a mother for the first time. The daughter of the singer and her husband Igor Sivov was born. For a long time, the couple did not disclose the baby's name and only recently in an interview with Hello! magazine we decided to tell about what name the girl got. As it turned out, the baby was named Simba.

She also added that such a rare name was not chosen by chance.

At first, Anastasia wanted to name her daughter after her grandmother Anna. But then she changed her mind and gave her a rare name — Ariadne. The ballerina's mother is delighted with the name of her granddaughter, at home the girl's name is Arisha.

Another name, unusual for a simple ear, was chosen for her daughter by actress Natalia Gromushkina and her husband. The girl was named Iliana.

The former soloist of the band "Hands up" was really looking forward to the birth of his son, because he had already had daughters twice. In the name of his son, he thanked God for joy, the boy was named Angel (Angel). In 2014, he had another son, who was given the name Miron.

Nikita Dzhigurda's outrage made itself felt in fatherhood. From the poetess Yana Pavelkovskaya, he has two sons, whose names are Artemiy-Dobrovlad and Ilya-Maximilian. In his marriage with Marina Anisina, he had a daughter Eva-Vlada and a son Mick-Angel Christ. Eva implies the name Eva, and Vlada means power. The power of the primordial woman, so Anisina explained the name of her daughter. But the boy was so named because he was born in Christmas (Christmas, Christ), as an angel (Angel). Mick was named by his mother.

Alsou fixed her maiden name in the name of her eldest daughter — Safina. Her mother suggested this idea to her. And the second girl was named Mikella, after a long discussion with her husband Jan Abramov, who initially wanted to name his daughter Yanina.

The director immediately after the birth of her first daughter answered all the curious that she called her daughter Octavia just like that, no reason. By the way, initially she planned to give the girl the name Lucretia or Agrippina, but when she looked at the newborn, she realized that she was the spitting image of Octavia. So when the second daughter was born, who was named Severina, there were no questions about the meaning of the name.

Anna Kovalchuk did not follow the path of her colleagues and gave the children beautiful old names — Zlata and Dobrynya. By the way, Dobrynya deserves his name, the boy was born a real hero weighing 4,500!

Singer Svetlana Loboda faced a choice — to name her daughter Sofia or Evangeline. I liked both names and the choice was extremely difficult. The daughter herself helped here: when her mother called her Eva (short for Evangeline), the baby smiled broadly.

By the way, the daughter of actress Amalia & Amalia is also called Evangeline.

The singer herself has a rather rare name and called the girls not banally. But the outrageous Sergey Shnurov turned to the classics, his daughter's name is Seraphim, and his son is Apollo.

TV presenter Olga Shelest says that she and her husband, clipmaker Alexei Tishkin, came up with a very successful name for their eldest daughter. The muse is an inspiration for both parents. By the way, the couple's English—speaking friends call the girl Music Music. The second daughter was named Iris, translated from Greek as a rainbow.
