During the Soviet occupation (1940–1941; 1944–1991) the practice of giving a middle name (''otrais vārds'') was discouraged, but since the restoration of independence, Latvian legislation again allows the giving of up to two given names and it has become more common to give a middle name to children. Latvian male names end in 1st or 2nd declension masculine endings, either ''-s/-š'' or ''-is'' (with a handful of mostly foreign exceptions ending in indeclinable ''-o'', such as ''Ivo'', ''Raivo'', ''Gvido'', ''Bruno'', ''Oto'' and only a few belonging to the 3rd declension ending in ''-us'', such as ''Ingus'', ''Mikus'', ''Edžus'', ''Zemgus''). Latvian female names have the feminine 4th or 5th declension endings ''-a'' or ''-e'' respectively. For centuries, one of the most popular Latvian names has been ''Jānis'', whose written use ...
