Help[Opinions] I have a soft spot for Ilya...
in reply to a message by Tippins
That was the name of my gymnastics coach for two years. I completely admired him and had a bit of a crush. :) I was eleven, I think. I called him Ilya (he pronounced it EEL-ee-ya) but he was occasionally called Ilyusha, as well. This is still one of my favorite Russian names!
Coincedentally, his best friend (another coach) was Andrey (spelled Andrei) and the head coach was Tatiana (NN: Tanya). We also had another coach named Aleksandr (no NN.) I love Maria, Dmitri (a favorite since seeing the movie Anastasia when I was four!) and Anastasia.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww.
excuse me. Awwww. Awww Ilya the gymnastics coach.
That is really a weird coincidence that all of the names I met are also names involved with your Ilya.
Dmitry is my favorite spelling because in the transcription of The Brothers Karamazof I read, that was the way the character's name was spelled. Dmitri is cute though and reminds me of Petri or Pitri from that series of dinosaur movies. Aww. What a cute name. Aww.

I much prefer Dmitri - it looks a lot cleaner to me.
