Yevgeniy

I like the way 'Yevgeniy' is pronounced in Russian - sounded simply beautiful and exotic. Personally, this name gives me some vibes that its bearers may have kind of reserved character.

Dope name. Shameless brought me here.

I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it is a lot better than Eugene.

As a Yevgeniy myself, I am Russian. However, I don't believe in the American translation of this name to Eugene. I personally go by Justin. Other Russian people I know go by simply Yev. Still others take names like Gary. Some Russian females with this name go by Jen or Jenny. I personally would go by Yevgeniy if I did not have to constantly tell people how to pronounce my name. If you're Yevgeniy considering an American name, you could go by Jerry. I do not recommend anyone to change their legal name because I believe you should be proud of your roots.
