Inara (3) is definitely real. While I haven't met any Brazilian Inaras, it does appear on the popularity charts, so it is used here.
My guess is that in Russia, it's being used by minority ethnic groups rather than ethnic Russians. There is a sizable Kazakh population in western Siberia near the border with Kazakhstan, so maybe that's who's using it in Russia. There's also quite a few Azeris living in Dagestan, which is north of Azerbaijan, so Azeris might also be using it in Russia.
