I'm glad that you like some of my native names! (I'm half Finnish half Russian)¨

Aina - Really nice! (But I like Aino a bit more)
Amelie - I like it because of the movie
Anastasia - I can't stand it. It is too frilly, pretentious and too popular.

Freja / Freya - Freja is ok, but Freya is totally nms
Katri - Pretty and popular
Kreszentia - Lovely!!
Lisbet - nms, but much better than Elisabeth
Liv - I really like it
Senka - I should add it to my own list some day :)
Seraphina - Nmsaa
Severina - A bit better than Seraphina, but unattractive as well
Siri - Neutral
Siv - Like
Svenja - If it was pronounced sveen-YAH, it would mean pig in Russian
Svetlana - Not a favourite of mine, but I can easily live with it
Theda - Pretty
Vita - I really like it
Zlata - Gor-ge-ous!!!! It's one of my favourite names and I concider it to my daughter
