You may not believe me, but one boy was named after his parents. BOC rVF 260602

It means - B biological O object H man R Oh yeah AT orin- F rolled, born June 26, 2002 of the year.

Not funny? Not funny. Scary! After all, a person will have to live with such a name, if not all his life, then for quite some time. To be in a certain society, to get used to the opinion of strangers regarding their name.

Of course, the state cannot tell a person how to name his son or daughter. But the person himself needs to understand that there are certain limits of decency, beyond which it is not recommended to go. At least for the sake of the future of their children. And if Lutobor or Radostina do not sound so ugly, then BOC rVF 260602 ...

Very rare names.

In the old days, they were quite common in Russia, but today they are practically out of use, and only a few cases of their registration in several years are noted in the registry offices (the frequency of such names is less than 1 per 10,000 newborn boys). And the names are not the worst!

Here is a short list of them: Abacum, Abrosim, August, Avdey, Averyan, Agathon, Alfer, Andron, Antip, Artamon, Asei, Vissarion, Galaktion, Germogenes, Gury, Guryan, Evdokim, Evstigney, Evtey, Epifan, Ermil, Erofey, Zinovy, Izosim, Ishmael, Larion, Hippolyte, Heraclius, Isaiah, Kasyan, Kirsan, Claudius, Kondrat, Kupriyan, Larion, Markel, Martyan, Minai, Menaeus, Mitrofan, Modest, Nikandr, Nicodemus, Nil, Osip, Paramon, Pahom, Pimen, Prokofy, Savvaty, Savel, Severin, Severyan, Strength, Silantiy, Sylvester, Simon, Sophon, Sofron, Spiridon, Terenty, Titus, Tryphon, Ulyan, Fedosey, Fedot, Feoktist, Theophanes, Fetis, Filaret, Firs, Thomas, Frol, Christopher, Emmanuel, Julius.

In 2017, 127 newborns were registered, of which 71 were boys and 56 were girls. Popular male names this year were: Mikhail, Andrey, Artyom, Grigory, Miron. Women - Sofia (Sofya), Vasilisa, Alice, Margarita.
Rarely used still include such traditional names as Irina, Vera, Yulia, Natalya, Alexander, Evgeny, Sergey, Igor. For comparison: 2014 - 226 children were registered; 100 boys and 126 girls. The most used names: Mikhail, Artyom, Pavel - for boys; Maria, Daria, Ksenia - for girls. 2015 - registered - 194 newborns; boys - 111, girls - 83. Common names: male - Dmitry, Artyom, Maxim; female - Mary, Elizabeth, Anna. 2016: 186 babies are registered in the registry office. Boys - 100, girls - 86. Popular male names of 2016 - Artyom, Ilya, Maxim; female - Maria, Victoria, Elizabeth.
In 2017, 156 happy family unions were registered. By age estimate, we can say that most of the grooms are over the age of 35, and the brides are between the ages of 25 and 34. The same pattern was observed in 2016. In 2014 and 2015 the largest number of brides and grooms belonged to the category from "25 to 34".
Last year, 15 marriages with foreign citizens were registered. Ukraine still leads the top three - 6 people, Azerbaijan, Moldova and Belarus 2 people each. For comparison: in 2014 - 21 marriages with foreign citizens. Ukraine - 9 people; Tajikistan - 3 people; Uzbekistan - 3 people 2015 - 36 marriages with citizens of other states. Ukraine - 20 people; Tajikistan - 4 people; Moldova - 3 people 2016 - 19 interstate marriages: Ukraine - 8, Uzbekistan - 4, Tajikistan - 2.
In 2017, 94 divorces were registered. For comparison: in 2016 - 100, in 2015 - 94, in 2014 - 141. The main age category of divorced people is citizens from 25 to 39 years old.
The sad statistics on the people who left us are as follows: 2017 - 208 people, of which 109 were men, 99 were women. For comparison: 2016 claimed 234 people (leap year!), 117 men and 117 women. In 2015, 182 people died: 86 men and 96 women. In 2014, 204 people died from us. 115 men and 89 women.
In the past year, 11 records of acts of name change were drawn up in the registry office. Of these, 9 changes were made by women and 2 by men. This is a common, predictable situation. I want to clarify right away that, in accordance with the civil code of the Russian Federation, a person's name includes three components: a proper name, patronymic and surname. Therefore, it is possible to change one, two or all components of the name. Men are more likely to change their proper name and surname. Women are more likely to change their last name. For comparison: 2014 - 17 name changes and of them - men - 4 people, women - 13 people. 2015 - 12 name changes, men - 5, women - 7.
In 2016 - 19 people applied for a name change, incl. 3 men and 16 women.
Ahead is 2018. On these Holy Days, I want to wish everyone health, optimism, love and, of course, magic.
