[Opinions] Re: In need of a Russian name
Sorry if some of these aren't that easy to pronounce. I speak Russian, so what comes naturally to me may not roll so easily off someone else's tongue. :-)
Nikolai/Kolya
Aleksandr/Sasha/Aleksei
Sergei/Seriozha (maybe too hard?)
Vladimir/Volodya
Yuri/Yura
Lev/Lyova
Ilya
Pyotr/Pasha/Petya
Timofei
Boris/Borya
Konstantin/Kostya
Ivan/Vanya
As for some cities...Vladivostok, Tsaritsyn, Archangelsk (or Archangel), Perm, Glazov, Murmansk, Moscow of course, Zhukov, Luza, Kirov...
Give your friend kudos for choosing a Russian character!
