I really like Mikhail and Ilya, diminutives even more.
My favourite Russian names are
Darya (& dim. Dascha)
Aleksandr & Aleksandra (& dim. Sascha)
dim. Dunya (unfortunately it's a dim. of Avdotya which I don't like)Lev
Ksenya
I know a girl called Ksenya and her parents call her Ksyuscha. It's a cool nn but I can't pronounce it properly.
