Almost 20% of parents do not have time to make a decision on the name of the unborn child by the time of his birth, but there are those who cannot come to an agreement even a month after the birth of the baby. Being distracted by a lot of everyday problems, it is sometimes very difficult for a husband and wife to come to an agreement, because everyone has their own preferences and their own vision on this issue. And here there are also relatives, friends, and just acquaintances who begin to offer their options. Fashion dictates, television promotes, how to choose here?

It is clear that every parent wishes their child a happy life. Considering that the name of a newborn can determine his future fate, contribute to success in his personal life and career, parents often see his future in the name of the baby - and it happens that they choose a rare, not a common name for their baby. Why?

• It is believed that it will help the child develop certain qualities - for example, independence.
• They strive to distinguish their child from other children in advance.
• They follow family traditions, where the names of grandparents are passed down from generation to generation.

Based on these premises, it is possible to determine where the rare names come from.

• The most obvious is the "well forgotten old". In everyday life there are names that were used to name children many years, and sometimes centuries ago. Old Slavonic names sound again in Russia - Bogdan, Miroslava, Tayana.
• There are very creative and progressive parents who come up with names themselves. This is how the name Svetlana appeared, although it was invented for the character, and not for his own child. And the name Stella was coined for a cycle of sonnets.
• Sometimes adults try to remember some events that are important to them. This is how completely unusual names are also born, many of which later become unviable, but some of these names continue to exist - for example, Kazbek, Damir or Kim. This is the desire to record various historical events, places, remember and perpetuate some great personalities. To a greater extent, the emerging Soviet names reflect this trend, and they can be called rare (Radiy, Zarya, Vladlen, Astra).
• It is also possible to consider as rare names those foreign borrowed names that are not accepted in everyday life in a particular country. Moreover, most of the Christian names are duplicated in one way or another both in Catholicism and in Orthodoxy (Martha - Martha, Christian - Christina). But some foreign names can still be called rare - Emma, ​​Madeleine, Monica, Laura.

Rare names for girls

Giving a daughter a rare name, parents strive first of all to highlight and emphasize some specific features of the newborn, which, as parents are sure, their daughter will definitely have. Most often these are beautiful, sonorous, melodious names. Different nationalities have their own list of rare female names.

In Russia, it has recently become fashionable to give children Old Slavonic names. For example, it became possible to personally get acquainted with Zabava or Bozhena, although such names are still considered rare. And it will be pleasant for believers to meet girls with such beautiful names as Seraphim, Pelageya or Evdokia.
