Re: Russian names
in reply to a message by maire
If I had to change my name, it would be Svetlana Petronella.
And since I've read The Brothers Karamazof, Ivan is one of my favorite names of all time, and Dmitry almost makes the list. I hate Alexei but I love Alyosha. I also like Nikolai "Kolya" and Pyotr "Petya" a lot. And Anatoliy, Afanasiy, Aleksandr, Anastasia, and Vitaliy. (When I was going through Russian Names to add to my list, I only got to A and then got bored.)
Now I will read your post.
Girls: I like most all of them, but I prefer full names for nicknames. Here are the ones I love:
Annushka
Avdotya
Elizaveta
Dasha
Irina
Ivanka
Natasha
Oksana
Svetlana
Zoya
Boys: Same
Ivan
Konrad
Mikhail
Miloslav
Nikolai
Serezha
Vasily
