My friends Mathieu and Katja welcomed twin boys to be named Ivan and Alexei. As they live in France Ivan will be pronounced (EE-van) and Alexei (Ah-le-xey). They will have no mn as far as I know. I think they're pretty cute names.
WDYTO? What middle names would you have used?

WOW!!

I love those names so much. For middle names, I'd use Ivan Vasiliy and Alexei Berislav. Russian names are so amazing.

Aw, how cute! I love Ivan, but I prefer Alexis on a boy rather than Alexei. Still, they work well as a sibset. I love their Russian feel!
If I'd used MNs, I would have gone for Ivan Aleksander and Alexei Demetrius.

I love both names! I don't know what MNs I would give them. They are both so great that they almost don't need anything else. I love your friends' names too, especially Katja!

I love those names! Very nice choices.

Ivan Astrophel and Alexei Emmanuel, I think.
