Boys were called: Veseslav, Svyatogor, Dobromir, Luka, Tamerlan, Yuliy,” the registry office employees told Woman’s day. “Girls: Olivia, Tsvetana, Miolika, Leah, Iva, Yara, Zabava, Adel and Evelina.” But still, most of the little residents of the city, born last year and in the first month of 2017, received traditional names. The most popular names in our city from year to year are Artem, Alexander, Maxim, Victor and Kirill for boys, and Anastasia, Maria, Sofia, Alisa, Ekaterina and Varvara for girls. Now the registry office employees cannot influence the decision of young mothers and fathers, especially since they come with full confidence in the correctness of their choice. However, fortunately, there have not been any cases of parents wanting to give their offspring a completely strange and unpleasant name in our city. But other regions can "boast" of residents with the names Prince, Buddha-Alexander, Alisa-Nefertiti, Alena-Flower, Lord and Legend. The most unusual name to this day remains BOCh rVF 260602 ("Biological Object Human of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002"), which parents in Moscow wanted to give to a boy. However, as far as is known, the registry office refused to register this name in order to protect the interests of the child.
