HelpRe: Petrova
in reply to a message by Ottilie
It looks like a negligence and a disrespect of another culture (my culture). Petrova is NOT a first name. It's absolutely unusable.

Sorry I angered you; I didn't intend to be disrespectful. Until recently I only knew it as a literary surname, but then I started to become more and more fond of it and decided to look into it; I knew how patronymic names worked, I just wasn't aware it was one as there is very little information on it, and the only context I had seen it in was Ballet Shoes, as the name of a Russian orphan. I'm very happy to respect your culture and your wishes, and again I apologise. I will still keep it on my list, but only as a guilty pleasure.

Sorry if I was rude. It is so sad that the author of a famous book confused the readers with the "Russian name Petrova".
