[Opinions] Re: Ilya, and some other Russian names
...
:(
I am young.I think I watched some Man from UNCLE when I was really little like 6-7 and not since then.Denis better Denis better! I think I'd probably like all the names you'd pair Denis with more than Dennis too, though.Same with Elena being oft-interchangeable with Helena. I am starting to like Elena more lately. I used to think it was really really pretty, and then one day I got really, really sick of how pretty and silky it was and dropped it completely, and am only recently over thinking it is barfworthy. Milena, though: nope! Elena is excused because it is Helen.Larissa is growing on me so much almost PNLing. I like that spelling more too, although I wish I preferred Larisa.I love Nadya/Nadia. And Nikolai. I am very irritated because I never really loved Nikolai but needed a Russian character whose name needed to be Nick for some reason and named him Nikolai. I was always uncomfortable with it though. Then I figured out Nikita would work fine. Now I like Nikolai better. Mad.Viktor Benedikt is soooo different from Victor Benedict.Anton goes on and off my PNL also, I think it is very handsome and clipped. Sergei is growing on me a lot. Vladimir I finally realized that I don't like much and am happy about knowing this.Thanks!

You are certainly right, Viktor Benedikt is way different than Victor Benedict, and I can almost like it. The problem is that for some reason about myself that I don't understand, when I see Benedikt I want to prn it with a long I, like dike (as in "an embankment to confine or control water").
