I've been thinking about Irina today. WDYTO it? I like the MN Anastasia with it. Does that flow? What about the sibset Vladimir Ilya, Dmitri Borislav, Svyatoslav Igor, and Irina Anastasia?

Wow. I forgot how much it screams RUSSIAN like a neon sign until I typed it. WDYT?

Irina Anastasia may scream Russian but I really like it.

I love all of them, although I will admit Irina Anastasia feels a bit N heavy to my ears.

I've liked Irina since Alias.

I also like Vladimir and Dmitri. Borislav and Igor could grow on me, but I'm not sure how they'd work stateside.

I do not like Anastasia at all, but it flows fine as a combo.

And you're right - very Russian!

I love it! Irina Anastasia is beautiful and it definitely flows in that sibset.

hehe Very Russian! :-)

Irina is a very sweet name though. I used to have a student whose name was Irina. She was Russian.

Anastasia is in my opinion very classy, but isn't it originally Greek?

I'm not to fond of your boys' names. There are only two Russian names I realy like, Andreij and Nikolaij

Personally, I like Irena better, but Irina is still nice.

Irina Anastasia is ok, but I'm not crazy about the combo (even though I adore Anastasia). Maybe Irina Natalya or Irina Viktoria?
I like Vladimir Ilya, Dmitri and Igor, but not the combos. How about Dmitri Branimir or Dmitar Zvonimir (my fave combo)?
