Novikoff is ok only if the family emigrated more than a hundred years ago (or pretends to be).
Otherwise it looks anachronistic.

In that case, Novikova (feminine form of Novikov) would sound more realistic.

Or just Novikov, The name of Tatiana's mother is Anaïs Novikov (nee Morin). She is a French woman, but she married a Russian man.
