The "a" sound I described above for Anna / Anya is only for Anna / Anya, Alexei / Alyosha, etc. My Russian professors (some from Russia) used the "ah" sound (or closer to "ah" than "a") for just about everything else. Weird.
Perhaps it was the fact that the sound came at the beginning. Eez puzzle, yes?
