[Opinions] Re: Sonya, Sveta, and Sasha
in reply to a message by BrilliantBlue
I absolutely love Sonya. I'm a bit torn on the spelling as well, but in this case I'd go with Sonya, since we're talking russian spelling. I'd see Sonja more suitable in a Germanic language and Sonia in Italian, Spanish and so on.
I'm not a huge fan of Sasha. I don't particularly like it, plus the fact that it's a nn (I know Sonya is one as well)... For some reason I just can't seem to warm to it as a full name.
I like Sveta. I'd pronounce it Sveh-tah.
Out of your sibets I'd go for Sonya and Anya, as I adore Anya as well. I knew a sibset once Tanya and Sonya. I loved it back then as well. I think the -nya names sound great.
As for middle names...
Sonya Nathalia
Sonya Louise
Sonya Marie
Sonya Skye
Sonya Leanne
Sonya Elizabeth
Sonya Sage
Sonya Cathleen
Sveta Alisa
Sveta Anastasia
Sveta Theodora
Sveta Katarina
Sveta Marina
as for Anya my usual combo for it, is Anya Celine but I'm also thinking
Anya Celeste
Anya Sophie
Anya Claire
Anya Marguerite
If I were to choose I'd go for Sonya Sage and Anya Celeste.
