Wow, you want to live in Ukraine! My mother is from there.

Yuri is pretty common, although maybe not so much where my mum is from. She is from just by the border with Poland, and it used to in fact be in Poland, but they made it part of the USSR and turfed out all the Polish people. My family was counted as ethnic Ukrainian, so they stayed, although my family did not identify with the Russians as much as maybe other Ukrainians. My grandparents prefer to speak Polish to Russian.

Keeping the post on topic, I'm not sure it could work in Ukraine or Russia. If you did use it maybe you could call her by both names, or her friends could use her middle name and you could use Yuri.

On the vaguely Slavic theme:
Yuri Saskia
Yuri Tatiana
Yuri Elena (my mum's name)
Yuri Kateryna/ Katerina (my mum's mn, she is westernised and so has two fn)
Yuri Natasa (my grandma's name)
Yuri Mariya
Yuri Milena
Yuri Mila
Yuri Emiliya
Yuri Anouska
Yuri Anastasia
Yuri Kamila
Yuri Irina

---

Others:
Yuri Selene
Yuri Odette
Yuri Katrine
Yuri Claudine
Yuri Celeste
Yuri Cassandra
Yuri Adeline
Yuri Lisette

---

Some of them might work flipped if you want Yuri as a mn.
