Abstract Proper names make up one of the most numerous layers of the vocabulary of any language. They live in various forms of human activity. The wealth of anthroponymic material in works of literature is created due to the variety of functions of the involved onyms, the development of an associative background, and the use of a trick. Anthroponyms, including names, surnames and nicknames of people, occupy a central place in onomastics, the science that studies proper names. The description of the poetic onomasticon of the writer's language allows for a very detailed, thorough study of the patterns of functioning of proper names in a particular literary text.
