    авдотья

    There was a character called this in a book called "преступление и наказание." Is this name still used in Russia?

    It's a cool name don't you think? If I had a Russian girlfriend I would want her name to be this one.

    Her full name was Авдотья but they called her Доуня (dunno how it's spelled).

    Maybe it's not exact but it's something like that.

    It's an old name... Not very common any more... However, I know a girl whose name is Арфения...

    Is this name pleasing to your ears also, or is it just because I am a foreigner?

    Nope... It's not that pleasing... It's just an old name for me... Though, Дунька has also some different meanings:

    ДУНЬКА, -и, ж (или ДУНЬКА С МЫЛЬНОГО ЗАВОДА). Неотесанная, необразованная, обычно провинциальная женщина. ♦ дунька в Европе — ирон. о поведении советской (российской) женщины, впервые попавшей за границу.

    Дунька Кулакова — онанизм.

    I bet having such a name she would be teased mercilessly at school.

    Так сейчас детей не называют.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.
