    Is this right?

    Кириил

    У Кирилла болят руки.

    Is this correct? Кириил is obviously a girl but her name ends in masculine letter so when I put it in the (acc/gen) case what is it?

    and also what about this.

    Василий Павлович

    У ______________ болит спина.

    Кирилл is not a girl, it's a boy.
    Like Кирилл и Мефодий, who (supposedly) made the cyrillic alphabet.

    У Василия Павловича болит спина.

    True, they made the glagolitic alphabit. Cyrillic was a simplification of Glagolitic 70 or so years after Cyrill died.

    If you have a foreign woman with a name ending in a consonant, it is indeclinable, I think:

    Say... June

    дом Джун
    Я люблю Джун
    Ingenting kan stoppa mig
    In Post-Soviet Russia internet porn downloads YOU!
