Re: Russian Boys' Names
in reply to a message by Akua Topaz
Aleksandr seems just a little bit silly, seeing as the English version is pronounced almost exactly the same. Same thing with Valentin vs. Valentine, Constantine vs. Konstantin.
Maksim and Spyridon are by far my favourites from your list.
I also like Miron, Dmitri, and Roman (although I am never quite sure how I'm meant to be pronouncing it.)
The only one I don't like is Misha because names with sha in them sound like fingernails on a blackboard to my ears.
