Ooopps... and
Irinushka, as I'm used to, is a diminutive of
Irina... only it's a bit 'adult-to-sweet-kid', cutesy and familiar and squishy. If's a bit like calling... hmmm... an adult
Melissa Melly if applied to an adult. Adult Irinas can be called
Irinushka, but it's pretty super-familiar and emotional. I've encountered plenty of child Irinas who have been casually called
Irinushka by family and friends alike, though, cos they're ickle kiddies. It's like a double diminutive thing, the -ush, and the -ka are probably like the difference between calling someone called
Melissa,
Mel or Melly or even an
Isabella,
Bella or Belly. You could go 'Oi, Belly' and 'Hi,
Bella, can you print this spreadsheet for me?' but... eh, you know what I mean. Rant out!
Medea is just... interesting on an innocent, wide-eyed kid, though, isn't it xD I've always thought it pretty, but a little vampy.
Clélie is... so interesting. Yes!
