My Russian friend Alex has a new half-sister. He wouldn't tell me her name because apparently I won't be able to pronounce it properly, but he says the closest English approximation is probably Barbara.
The only name I can see is Varvara, which is a Russian version of Barbara.
Is Varvara a common name in Russia? Is it popular for babies, or more for older women (like Barbara is here)? Are there any other names you think it could be, which are a bit like Barbara but Russian? I'm just curious!
Thanks
