Evgeniya Polischuk (Fedutinova) instagram:@evgeniyafedutinovavk.com/janeshomebaking– It all started with baking for family and friends.

I made my first custom-made cake on October 13, 2014, and a little earlier I started making macaroons and cupcakes. You could say that the business “found me”, I am very […]

Unusual names for children

Photo:Getty ImagesOver the first 10 months of 2016, 55.5 thousand new residents of St. Petersburg were born. And there were almost two thousand more boys – 28,618 – than girls (26,887). “This year, boys were named Aviner, Vikram, Diodor, Zdislav, Izyaslav, Pervosvet, Rarog, Seleucus, Ogneslav, Elem,” the civil registry committee told Woman’s Day. “And girls were given the names Agniyara, Akiyana, Alexandra, Iyunya, Kaprina, Kriskentia, Leana, Ogneslav, Runa, Tsarina.” In general, parents did not skimp on unusual names for their children. But will all children, having reached a smart age, say “thank you” for this later? It will be easier for those with Indian (Vikram), Polish (Zdislav) or Greek (Diodorus) names to walk through life with their heads held high. But Criscentia was the name of a holy martyr from Italy at the beginning of the last millennium. Rarog is a fiery spirit in Slavic mythology, associated with the cult of the hearth. And the revolutionary name "Engels Lenin Marx", shortened to Elem, will certainly become a reason for jokes from classmates. And the grandchildren will not get the most sonorous patronymic. But the list of the most popular names has hardly changed compared to 2015. Among the most popular options for boys are Alexander, Maxim, Mikhail, Artem and Ivan. Common names for girls are Maria, Anastasia, Sofia, Anna and Victoria. By the way, the stars are no less willing to choose unusual, and sometimes exotic names for their heirs. Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova named her daughter Ariadna. Figure skater Elena Berezhnaya is raising a daughter Sofia-Diana and a son Tristan. And the son of the leader of the Leningrad group Sergei Shnurov is called Apollon! Actress Anna Kovalchuk gave her children the beautiful old names Zlata and Dobrynya. The eldest son of Olympic figure skating champion Evgeni Plushenko from his marriage to Maria Ermak is called Egor. But when the boy was just born, the figure skater insisted on the name Christian - in honor of the famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo.
