Help[Opinions] Re: ok...
in reply to a message by Elphi
Thanks! Interestingly, there is a Leilani and a Miriam among the babies in our travel group (being adopted). And Simone was on my list but my husband doesn't like it.
Nadya/Nadia screams Romanian to me.
Vanya is very Russian, and I thought it was a boys name.
Tanya was a popular Southern U.S. name when I was growing up.
Lara and Katia seem like normal American names.

you're right, I tend to forget...
Vanya is male. Somehow Vanja has become a Swedish / Scandinavian female name. It sort of bugs me, I'm not sure I can use it when it should be male.
I was in much confusion the first time I saw the Chekhov play "Uncle Vanya" as a teenager, it took me a while to understand how an uncle could be a Vanya ( spelled Vanja in Swedish translation).
Oh well, the everlasting labyrinth of names...
Good luck with / "congratulations" to the adoption. Just out of curiosity, are your sons adopted too?
