I agree and
I agree with Nanaea . I know that in Russian they have several diminuitive endings for names. They each hold a different air of intimacy so that some cannot be used except by those very close to the person. I wonder if the -kia is one of such diminuitive endings.
I have a friend who has travelled in Russia and I shall try to remember to ask her next time we meet.

Hi there,
a friend of mine is Russian, she's baptised Ekaterina (from Katherine=pure), and as with most Russian names there are a lot of pet forms like Katja (usually used as a short form), Katjuschka or Katrioschka (very tender and loving), Katjinka (for a child), Katka (when the child's done something wrong and the mother's angry!) or simply Ka, the modern short form.
Isn't Russian a wonderful language!!!
