HelpRe: I wish i was Russian!
in reply to a message by fishyfishy
Yeah. As far as Russian names go, I like Ruslan, Ludmila, Dominika, and Radimir tons... especially pronounced with the right accent.
However, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be named something that wasn't either common on people of heavily mixed heritage, or connected to my own heritage pretty naturally. Because people often ask about names, and if I was Ludmila, having to tell any Russians that my parents 'just liked it' wouldn't be terribly comfy for me. So I probably wouldn't name my own kid that way.
