How could you skip Hallam?
It's one of my favorites from him, and Tennyson was so obsessed with his friend that he wrote a huge poem upon his passing (In Memoriam, A.H.H.) and then named his son Hallam in honor.

Alexandrova follows traditional Russian middle naming, which I like. It is used as a middle name when a girl's father is named Alexander (a boy's middle name would be Alexandrovich). If her father is Nikolai, her middle name will be Nikolaevna (a boy's middle name would be Nikolaevich).

Wow...thanks so much for that info about Alexandrova. Do you have anymore examples? Does it work for all Russian names?

Sooo...(m)
So the ending for a female would just be -ovna and a male would be -ich? I am really interested in this now. Do you know of any good sites that can explain the "rules" of it, so to speak?

The female can be -ovna or -evna
if father's name ends in consonant (Anton, Alexandr, Oleg), it will be -ovna. (Antonovna, Olegovna)
if the name ends in -y (Alexey, Andrey and so on), it will be -evna (Alexeyevna)
And the male patronimic can be -ovich or -evich, the same rules (Antonovich, Alexeyevich)
there are some exceptions anyway
