Malina has become a new fashionable name for girls in Moscow

In Moscow, young parents are increasingly calling their children unusual names. So, in the capital’s registry office, they list non-standard names that babies are called.

Since the beginning of 2022, one boy has been named Odysseus, Leo Augustus, Philip Andrew, Daniel Robert, Achilles, Apollo, Noah and Thor. Six boys were named Ragnar, four – Axel.

The girls are called Kira Luna, Mia-Augustina, Gloria Laura. Four girls were named Rosalia and Raspberry. Also on the list of unusual female names are Elektra, Tiffany and Matryona. As you can see, the name Malina turned out to be more preferable than the once traditional “Matryona”, and among the boys, Ragnar will prevail over Apollos and Odysseys.
