Help[Facts] Re: Can "Marina" be Russian?
in reply to a message by Jaxxie
In some really rare cases Marina can be called by Maria's nickname - Masha.
Marina is my mother's name and she is a Russian jew from Petersburg. She gets called Marisha, Marishka, Marishen'ka, Marinochka or Marinka. (She gets called Marina in situations she doesn't know interlocutor very well and she doesn't want to be called too oficially - Marina Aleksandrovna)
At the moment Marina is not the trendiest name in Russia, but many of about 50 (or 30) years old women are named Marina.
