The last representative of this strange family, “Mr. March 1792,” died in September 1904.

Every pregnant woman begins to come up with names for her child long before his birth, trying to choose the most beautiful names in the world. However, you need to understand that the fate of the baby will depend on the name. If you see a beautiful name on the extensive list, do not rush to name your child. Try saying it out loud a few times and you will learn how the name “sounds.” Find out the meaning of the name, choose several options and think about each one. Perhaps the initial impulse was too hasty. Intuition will definitely tell you the best option for a tiny son or daughter.
Over the past three years, parents around the world have been trying to choose sophisticated names for their children.

Unusual names for children from loving mothers and fathers
The most beautiful names in the world cannot quench the thirst of parents who want to somehow distinguish their child, to make him unique, at least through the name. As soon as they don’t name newborn babies, wanting to give them sonorous names, not realizing that children have a hard time with such names. For example, when registering babies in the countries of the former “post-Soviet space,” the most unusual names for girls were considered: Tsvitana, Valencia, Shahroza, Kvita, Melisa, Cleopatra . No less interesting names were invented for boys - Krishna, Milan, Aladdin, Christopher, Eden, Odysseus, Nero and etc.
Sometimes parents, in their best intentions, go even further and call their children double or even triple names, believing that they will someday enter the category of “The Most Famous Names in the World” when the children grow up, become geniuses and become famous: Zabava-Rowan, Hana-Fani, Tsarina-Almaza, Panna-Milana, Prince-Volodar and etc.
Among Russian children, under the influence of famous Indian, American and Asian TV series, names such as Oscar, Naomi, Zita, Gita, Jennifer, Mirabella, Vanessa and etc.
The most popular names for girls and boys with patriotic overtones
Several cases have been recorded in the Russian Federation when newborn girls were named Russia . Can you imagine how strange it sounds when a child has the most common surname - Russia Ivanova or Russia Grachev. For some reason, parents in Nizhny Tagil named their daughter Privatization . They probably remembered fun historical times.
After the revolution, people named their children patriotically: Pofistal (Winner of fascism ), Perkosrak (First space rocket), Uryurvkos (Hurray, Yura in space!) etc. And these days, not being satisfied with the options from the list of “The most common names for girls and boys,” children are called unusually. For example, naming a girl Viagra , the parents explain this not by an addiction to the famous drug, but by a great love for the VIA Gra group.
After sensational football matches, the registry offices begin to register babies, perpetuating the names of famous athletes, football coaches, and goalkeepers.
The most unusual names in the world
To read some names, it takes several minutes to pronounce a huge number of letters or decipher an abbreviation puzzle. For example, the longest name in the world has 1478 letters.

2. For a long time in France there was a dynasty that did not have a surname, it was replaced by a set of numbers 1792 .

By the way, the last of the male family of this dynasty, Mr. March 1791, died in 1904.
3. Everyone knows the artist Pablo Picasso and admires his work. However, few people know that this brilliant artist had an unusual name.

Such long and magnificent names were fashionable in Spain in past centuries; some old surnames have retained the unusual tradition today.
4. A family from the American city of Chicago named their children Appendicitis, Laryngitis, Tonsillitis, Peritonitis and Meningitis . Maybe the head of the family was a novice doctor and decided to “practice” memorizing professional terms on his own children?

6. In Russia in the last century, names like Revolution, Electrification, Industrialization or even original ones - Lagshmivara (“Schmidt’s Camp in the Arctic”), Kukutsapol (“Corn is the Queen of the Fields”).

7. In India, two boys from the same village were named "Hello, Silver Dollar!" and “Hello, Two kilograms of rice!” . By the way, India has long been the leader in the most unusual names for children. Probably the best dreamers and inventors live there.
