If you're going to have a child, shouldn't you name it something that you love and that means something to you regardless of the orgin instead of sticking to your culture w/ a lesser liked name? I named my son Sascha after his great grandfather Aleksandr. GGF lived in Russia where Sasha was a common nn for Aleksandr. We live in the states where Sasha is predominantly girls name. I wouldn't have let something as silly as not living in Russia deter me from naming my child what I want.
