Abstract:

The paper is about the new and rare names of children born in the period of 2008 – 2017. The names were collected with the help of a survey. The survey was specially designed to be used in my dissertation “Tendencies in the Development of the Bulgarian Personal Naming System at the Beginning of the 21st Century.” The origin and meaning of the anthroponyms and the motives for their choice are discussed.
