A question was asked on Opinions about Tatiana that got me pondering female Russian names. Again. Every so often I think about this. I have only ever found two female Russian names that do not end in A. There's Yesfir / Esfir (which I think of as one name with two spellings; from Esther), and Ninel (which is Lenin backward and is therefore not only not worth using but is arguably the opposite of Nevaeh! :p ) I understand why this is, but it still confounds me. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other female Russian names that don't end in A?
