I love Nadezhda Vera with Nadya as a nickname. It's fantastic and I adore both names. Since I am not Russian in the slightest, Nadezhda is on my cat list. I also really like Ludmilla Anastasia. I like Svetlana, but I can't get past Ninel. It sounds nice, but I'm not fond of that sort of name. I'd prefer Sergei with one of the first combos. I don't think the Anglicized pronunciation of Sergei is a problem because the name isn't that uncommon for characters in entertainment. In short, I think people are fairly used to hearing it.
