St. Petersburg is a city of multifaceted history, which was Petrograd, and Leningrad, and just St. Petersburg. The names of the tsars were probably popular here in pre-revolutionary names - Alexander, Nikolai, Mikhail, Constantine, Peter. Nowadays, parents prefer to call their boys not only familiar, but also very unusual names.

Step 1
The statistics of the registry offices of St. Petersburg confirms that the name of Greek origin Artem has become the most popular in the city for newborns. This suggests that St. Petersburg mothers and fathers wish their baby longevity and good health, because this is what is in the name, which means "safe", "healthy". The name Artem is really successful - short, sonorous, it suits an adult man and a young man, and in childhood it is easy to call such a boy with affection - this is Tema, and Artemka, and Temochka.
Step 2
In second place in popularity is the name Alexander, once glorified in the city on the Neva by both writers and tsars. The meaning of this name is "protector", diminutive variants - more than enough.
Step 3
Slightly less popular in St. Petersburg are Maksimki, Vanechki and Mishenki - these names of boys are also included in the top five of the most beloved names by parents.
Step 4
If the family in which the boy was born wants to show off originality, then fanciful and unusual names are chosen for the children. In the registry offices of St. Petersburg are registered such townspeople as Cornelius, Martin, Paramon, Mars, Sever, Erislav, Orpheus, Socrates, Leonhard. It is worth considering that a child with a complex name will have a hard time from the very beginning: peers may not accept, understand and tease the boy because of his name. Such an individuality can, as psychologists say, sometimes adversely affect the formation of character: the child can become arrogant, unsociable, alienated. Therefore, coming up with a name for their son “not like everyone else”, parents should seriously think about whether to take such a step. Moreover, the fate of a person directly depends on how he is hailed.
Step 5
Both in St. Petersburg and in other cities, parents should take into account a simple rule that applies not only to inanimate objects: "As you name a boat, so it will float." If a boy grows up impudent, rude, you should often contact him affectionately, calling Gleb, for example, Glebushka, and Ivan - Vanyusha. On the other hand, psychologists recommend turning to too soft, indecisive boys in an adult way: Peter, Ivan, Max. But, whatever the boy is and whatever his name is, the most important thing for St. Petersburg and other children is to constantly feel parental love and support. This is the most important thing.
