In the Yaroslavl region changed the preferences of parents when choosing names

In the region, there are new trends in the choice of names for newborns. Among the boys, Mikhail, Artem and Myron began to meet most often, and the girls are mainly called Annas, Vasilis and Maria. This was told by Deputy Prime Minister of the Yaroslavl region Vera Dargel.

Some names that used to be in demand have now become rare. Among the boys, they include Anton, Semyon and Danil. Girls are much less likely to choose Alena, Love, Galina and Dina: in the summer and early autumn, only one or two children were named by such names. More boys than girls were born in the region during this period.

The average age of mothers in the Yaroslavl region is from 25 to 29 years. More than 65% of parents issue documents for newborns with the help of “Superservice” on the portal of state services.

The governor’s campaign “Hello, Baby!” is also ongoing in the region, effective from June 1, 2022, as part of the social support for families. During this time, parents were given about 40 thousand gift sets - yellow bags with the necessary things for babies. They are given in the registry office together with a birth certificate, and the composition of sets is periodically updated.
