Re: Petrova
in reply to a message by Ottilie
It's hard for me to distance myself from the word (like when I ask posters here about Borna or Buga as names), but I guess it could work, the spelling and pronunciation shouldn't be an issue, it's clearly feminine and I guess most people would accept it as another surname turned first name. I think my biggest problem with it is that it's not a noun or an adjective, it's a possessive form of a male name and I just can't see grammatical features working well as names (also the fact that we don't use last names as first names makes it weird for me).

In that case, I'll keep it on my guilty pleasure list :)
