Dimitri is impressive.
Dima (deema) seems to be the most common nn. Has anybody mentioned
Boris?! It's the name of
London's Lord Mayor -
Boris Johnson. Sounds better pronounced the Russian way than to rhyme with
Doris.
I like
Ivan's nn
Vanya, but it's liable to be mistaken for feminine in the West.
