[Opinions] Re: Favorite Russian name?
in reply to a message by HappyApple
Russian names are my jam, I love all of them, but I do have those I like a bit more than the others.
I really like the names made up of Slavic elements, such as Vladimir, Miroslav, Radmir, Bogdan, Borislav, Bronislav, Stanislav, Ludmila, Svetlana, Rostislav, etc. I also have a soft spot for the "communist names" made up during the Soviet Union, especially Marlen and Oktyabrina. I find it very interesting how much language can change depending on it's environment, this is why I love these two kinds of names.
Then I have the names I like for their diminutives: Pavel (Pasha), Anatoliy (Tolya, Tolik), Grigoriy (Grisha, Grikha) and of course Aleksandr (Sasha, Shura, Shurik, Sanya, Alya).
Then I also really like the name Innokentiy, but I don't have any reason outside just the ~vibes~
