[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?

Ivan the terribleI 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.

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. Ivan Andreas

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
