The unusual name is a crime or a gift: do we need a law prohibiting “defamatory” names
TASS talked to a lawyer, an expert on the effect name and the owner of an unusual name to find out what they think about the story of a boy named BOC RVF 260602, and the new bill.
In March, the state Duma plans to consider the bill on the prohibition to register in bodies the registry office the names consisting of numerals, of numerals, abbreviations, and profanity. The justice Ministry has already called it a bill prohibiting “defamatory” names.
As explained by the author of the document Senator Valentina Petrenko, today, parents cannot be required to give children names that do not violate their rights and interests.
As an example, she cites the story of a boy with the name BOC RVF 260602 (Biological object of man kind Voronin — frolovs born 26 June 2002). According to the Senator, the boy lived without a Russian birth certificate as the Registrar’s office of Moscow refused to register the child with that name, explaining that the protection of his interests, and the court took their side.
TASS talked to a lawyer, an expert in anthroponyms (branch of linguistics that studies the names of people — approx. TASS) and the owner of an unusual name to find out what they think about the story Boccia and new law, and about how names affect personality.
“In 14 years, the child called himself Igor and all was fine”
Today, the staff of the Registrar cannot refuse to register a name, said the lawyer, a specialist in family and children’s (juvenile) law Anton Jarov. And formal legislation, allowing you to rename the child, no. However, in his opinion, Russia has enough tools to fix a situation like the one that happened to Bochum. The judicial system in the framework of current legislation, based on common principles and interests of the child, it can resolve such issues and to rename the children.
And in this case, the story has stalled due to “certain timidity” of the judicial system, he said. However, according to Zharov, in the end the situation was resolved. “In 14 years, the child called himself Igor and everything was normal,” he explained.
The lawyer is sure that normal parents would not give the newborn a name, which he would have problems. And if this happens, and give a child a name, for example, Feces, bodies of guardianship and guardianship have enough grounds to sue and to rename the girl, on the grounds that in this situation the parents are clearly acting against the interests of the child.
If the parents are unable to name the child, give him the guardianship and guardianship. This question in the legislation of represenante Arospatiale family and children’s (juvenile) law
One can change the laws
Despite the fact that now in Russia practically there are no restrictions on names, BOCH — the only case when it had any impact on people’s lives. Therefore, according to Zharov, because of one child to change the law and introduce some bans don’t make sense. Moreover, the proposed criteria are not clearly defined.
Discordant, ridiculous names — what is it? The name of the Owl is ridiculous? And Savva? Where do we stop? Profanity — then you can go far. Or the prohibition to include in the numbers. And why exactly can’t a child is called Henry IV?Anton Zharov
In addition, certain Zharov, any restriction entails a lot of issues. “Who will determine euphonious name, or obscene? Employee Of The Registry Office? Are you sure that he has the relevant competence, for example, linguistic education? Or are we going to call in the experts? Or to make lists of approved names?”, — continued the lawyer.
“Children also give the original names”
18-the summer student of medical College Diamond Bazuev quite happy with my name. “If I have children, and may also give them unique names,” he says.
According to the boy, he realized that he has a rare name, even in childhood. “About five I began to think about the fact that my name is different from the others, because I noticed that the guys I was playing in the yard, was somewhat in shock. But I wasn’t and was not happy especially as he took his name for granted,” says Bazuev.
Nevertheless, the idea of changing the name, it was visited. “Too much attention people paid, was expecting something great, but I’m a simple guy, just with a rare name,” said the young man.
The young man admits that the unusual name helped him a couple of times in the design documents.

The prohibition of the state Duma, the owner of a rare name is negative. “The name of the person — his own business or parents, but not the deputies. Don’t like the name — change”, — he said. If BOC RVF 260602 happy with his name, nothing wrong with this Bazuev sees.
The young man is confident, even if his name was different, life had hardly changed, since “in man the main thing is his actions, not the wrapper”.
“Children with these names do not perceive peers”
And Buzaevym disagrees doctor of psychology, expert on the impact of name on a person’s character Boris Higir. In his opinion, when the parents give the child the wrong name, it grows unstable, painful, and may have to die. The earlier a person changes the name to normal, the sooner it becomes stable.

The expert urges not to use double names, as these children affects the nervous system and psyche. In addition, according to the psychologist, choosing a name for the newborn, it is not necessary to resort to foreign names, because the languages are quite different rules of pronunciation and audio.
According to the observations of the psychologist, which he cites in the book “the Name and crime. The key of destiny — your name” in our days, some names are boys generally better not to give. Among them Sergei and Anatoly. “These people begin to drink and can become addicted to drugs. Alexander may start Smoking since the age of five, and then to engage in theft”, — the expert adds.
As for the girls, then, according to Hegira, the names Tatiana, Yana and Yulia — men.
“Their owner may be prone to aggression due to the fact that they have taken femininity using gripe similar name. In the old days the name was given according to the calendar. If Tatiana was born at the end of January — no objection, but you need to listen to this name combined with a patronymic,” he explains.
The name of the author of the bill prohibiting “defaming the names” Valentina Petrenko is very powerful, having a strong masculine, adds Higher.
A name with numeric values as BOC RVF 260602, according to the expert, not the name. “It doesn’t matter in contrast to the words. And the name must match the middle name in sound”.
According to the psychologist, he met a boy when he was four years old. For the psychologist the main thing was the middle name of the child, because the name it has, in fact, no. Middle Name Bocha — V.. “Vyacheslav can be a talented person, but you can’t call a child. It is necessary to take that child away from parents because it has the risk of developing schizophrenia” — the expert believes.
About the parents of the boy named Lucifer is Higher says that they do not need, since they called him one of the names of the devil.
Monthly meditation
During the discussion of the bill Petrenko few paid attention to another important point, which appeared in the document.
We are talking about a situation when parents do not have time to register the newborn within 30 days.
According to the amendments, in such cases, the child will be registered according to article 19 (state registration found or abandoned child). This means that the name he assigned the guardianship and trusteeship body, and in the column “Parents” do not record anyone.
Lawyer Anton Zharov believes that the legal consequences of this decision are not considered. “For example, the child was sick and mom and dad came to register him as not a month later, and after 33 days. And it turns out that they are not the parents, and the child is already registered in the name of Ivanov Petr Petrovich. What should I do? To prove that it is their biological child or you can register it again?”, — says the expert.
Another weak point of this amendment, the lawyer calls the complexity of accounting for such cases. “If the child was born in the hospital, the administration may send some papers to the Registrar. And if the child was born abroad or was it a home birth? As it is revealed? So you can play that people will simply be afraid to go to the hospital,” — said Zharov.
