What do they call their kids in Ukrainian families? The rarest and most unusual names for children in 2021. What are the most popular names this year
Six months already behind us. According to statistics, from January to the present day, more than 100 thousand children were born in the country. It's time to highlight fashion trends in names. How are newborn babies called today? What are the hottest names for girls and boys right now? What unusual names did parents risk giving to their children in 2021? This was reported by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.
The department has released statistics on the registration of newborn babies. According to these data, traditional names remain the most popular this year. Girls are most often called Anna, Sofia, Maria, Victoria, Daria, Veronica and Polina. For boys, moms and dads choose the names Artem, Bogdan, Alexander, Maxim, Nazar and Dmitry.
However, among parents there are lovers of exotic and non-standard approach who give their children original names
. For example, girls this year were named Octavia, Spring, Camiliena, Malvina, Santa, Saphira, Tisha, Esmeralda, Madonna, Jasmine, Spark, Flower, Empire, Rosinka, Florentina, Melodison and Ilyinka. The fashionable tendency is still to name the daughter in honor of the Greek or Roman goddess: Cassandra, Juno, Athena and Aurora appeared in Ukraine.Parents tried to give the boys majestic and pretentious names. In the near future, the Prince, Tamerlane, Osman, Tsar, Bartholomew and Suleiman will run through the streets. Heroes of ancient Greek myths "rule" here too: Achilles, Odysseus, Solomon and Aeneas appeared in the registration lists of the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice commented on such a craving for originality simply: according to our laws, parents have the right to name their child what they want. At the same time, not always someone is chasing exotic things. Many non-standard names for children were chosen by representatives of national minorities as a tribute to their long traditions.
Whether it will be easy for Princes, Kings, Empires and Dewdrop in kindergartens and schools, time will tell. In recent years, unusual names have become commonplace in Ukraine. And if it gets really tight, the name can be changed. True, a child will be able to do this only upon reaching the age of 14 (with the consent of the parents) or from the age of 16 (without anyone's consent).
By the way, at the end of last year, the Verkhovna Rada allowed Ukrainians to change not only their name, but also their patronymic. Again, after 14 years (with the consent of the parents or guardian) or at the age of 16 (of their own free will). So Suleiman Ksenofontovich, upon receiving a Ukrainian passport, may well become Artem Viktorovich.
