I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
After being in russia recently i get allot of undevoted attention on my name and i have no idea why.
my father is russian and my mum is from the united kingdom.
when i tell people my name i get very strange looks and they say its very unique and im very confused.
maybe i should change it? i do not want undevoted attention.
my name what appears on my passport is:
Iosif vissarionovich bakhvalova
Иосиф Виссарионовича ьакхвалова
I may change it.

Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
Оль, но, ведь, нам с тобой такое имя ровным счётом ничего не говорит - имя как имя. Ведь, это так, Оль?
iosifbakhvalova
I don't know why do people think you have a unique name.
Оль, твои две запятые:

Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
so you do not think my name is strange?

Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
Tell me, what's your father's first name?
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please

my father is russian
1. Why can't you ask your father about your name?
2. I would never believe that a Russian could give such a name to his child, especially to a girl (the given surname is female).
3. Your spelling doesn't look like a native's one.
4. As I said above, today is not the 1st April, so stop fooling us.
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
i am not fooling you and my writing is like that as i cannot write in russian
hand on my heart that is my name which is why it is strange
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
i am not a girl , it is your opionion to believe what i am saying to you but i guarantee you it is the truth
my fathers name is vissarion
my name is iosif vissarionovich bakhvalova as it is on my passport maybe i have read the end bit wrong
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
However now, after I googled Иосиф Виссарионович, I found the article in Wiki. Seems lke he was something like a Soviet leader. But me or Оля can hardly know him. He died long before our birth.
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Сталин_Иосиф_Виссарионович
Why didn't you try to google it yourself?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
i did not think of google i cannot read the cyrillic on my passport properly , would it be ok to scan it and upload a picture so you could help read the last name?
like you said its female form have i read it wrong?
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
You may scan your passport or credit card number if you wish.
But Iosif Vissarionovich is a name of this old man with mustaches.
Just follow the links above.
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
yes and i am telling you i have that same name so if i scanned my passport you would see i am not "fooling" you
i just wanted help not links to other websites.
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
Я чето понять не могу, кто над кем прикалывается? :) Leof, что значит "я погуглил" и "похоже, что он был предводителем"? Ты это серьезно?
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
Doesn't the article help you to know why your name may astonish some Russian people?
Then I do not know how to help you.
Make a labor - read the article. I would read it and repeat what was said in it for you, but it is you who lives in England, not me - read in English, it will help.
delog, я действительно погуглил и обнаружил сходство между этими именами, я старался лишь бть столь же правдивым, что и OP.
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
this man who you have given links to i do not know,but i can assure you that my name is iosif i just need help with the surname which you say is femine how do i read it ?

Okay, I'll try to ask again:
Why can't you ask your father about your name? If he's Russian he can answer your questions.
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
If you read these our notes, read the article.
Your name should be Iosif Vissarionovich Bakhvalov_, no a in the end.
Re: I Am Very Confused And Need Help Please
becuase my father is not around in the united kingdom. i see why it is shocking to have the name of this man you gave the link for should i change my name?
like i said you have my word that i am not fooling you and i will scan my passport if you need proof
