The most unusual names in the world

A person’s name is a kind of business card. Many say that it can be very decisive for a person’s future, in addition to influencing the character of its owner. That’s why most parents take their child’s naming very seriously.

But some people think that the time to choose a name for a child is the time to be creative and end up choosing the most unusual names in the world. Check out some examples.

Names appeared on the tree of human history when language was forming. The first names were a reflection of the personality and characteristics of its ownerssuch as Smart, Lame, Small, Big, etc.

Over time, the attitude towards the name changed, and parents started naming names that matched the characteristics they wanted to see. People also named their child after an animal, usually one that was agile, smart, or sweet, for example. The name Arthur, for example, in Celtic translation it would mean ‘bear’, and names Wolf, Wool and Vovk they would just be variations of the word ‘wolf’.

Nowadays, in many places the names follow names of saints, rulers, heroes, events, literary characters or even meteorological phenomena, plants, celestial bodies and even food. In general, imagination seems to know no limits, which is why when we ask ‘What’s your name?’, we can be surprised.

As some parents’ creativity seems to go beyond some limits, many countries have decided to officially ban the use of random letters, symbols, numbers and slurs in names.

One of the clearest and most original examples is the little Russian boy named BOCH RVF 260 602 (Vorovin-like human biological object — Frolov, born 06/26/02). Boch has not yet received a Russian passport, as his name is on the country’s list of banned names. Problems with the documents also happened with a Swedish boy born in 1991. The authorities refused to register the name Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 because they said it was nonsense. The parents tried to defend the right of choice in court, claiming that it was a work of art. In Sweden, some names are banned: Ikea, Superman, Veranda, Lego, Google and Q. If the name was given before the ban, it does not need to be changed. In France, after much controversy, food names were banned. names with Strawberry and Cabbage no longer exist in the country. A Chinese couple couldn’t name their child @. The father said the name symbolized his love for his son. In New Zealand, children cannot be called Princess, Knight, King and other royal titles.
In Malaysia, the law banned animal names such as Snake, Dog and Bear, since comparing a person to an animal is a serious insult in the country. In Saudi Arabia, names related to religion are banned, such as: Angel, Demon, Virgin and Prophet.
In some European countries, such as Germany and Switzerland, calling a child Judas or Lucifer is also prohibited. In some countries, naming fictional characters is prohibited. For example, in Mexico you cannot name your child Batman, Terminator or Harry Potter. Now, if it’s just Harry, fine.

Of course, we all like to feel unique in an environment, and the name is one way to achieve this. But the ideal is to think about practicality and the combination with the last name, so that in the future the child — who will grow up — does not end up with a name that will always bring problems.
