[Opinions] Ivan
I've come across Ivan several times the last week and it's growing on me, I'm thinking of adding it to my PNL. I especially like it in a sibset with Henry (Ivan and Henry). What do you think of the name. Does it have too much of an Russian feeling to it? Any good combos?

I can't like it just for that connotation.

I really like it. Actually, I think the only Ivan I remember personally was Mexican, lol.
Very Russian...
...So I *love* it. :-) I only like it pronounced ee-VAHN. IE-van just doesn't have "that sound" to it.
Actually, Henry Ivan (Henrik Ivan?) is an awesome combo. Two others that I like are Patrick Ivan and Sinjin Ivan. I guess I like it as a middle name. I'm having an awfully hard time finding a middle name for it.
Henrik Ivan is amazing. I think I'm going to steal that combo...

I personally really like it. It's a very masculine and strong name. And, as somebody said before, it's very Russian-sounding.
Agree
Except I don't mind the pronouciation IE-van.
Henrick Ivan is good :)

I think it's nice, I knew a an Ivan once (EE-vahn). I think it has a bit of a Russian feel to it, but not too much (and it doesn't have anything Russian if you plan on saying Ivan with an 'eye' sound in the beginning). I don't really like it wth Henry, but maybe that's just because I'm not too fond of Henry.

Hey!
Henry was my #1 for ages and them Simon was my #2 for ages later!
:)
Ummm yeah great sibset! I think it is neat and I like... the Russianness, and the nickname Vanya. I like it in a sibset with Alexander (the great) and Ivan (the terrible).
I wouldn't be too put off by I T Terrible, there was an Ivan t. Great as well, and I'm sure ITT wasn't THAT terrible.
ETA: My combo was Ivan Ludwig Amadeus, but I also like Ivan Aleksandr / Alexander, for reasons above
