Thread: Igor

I was helping at this camp this summer that brings over some orphans from Russia every year. The second week half of the staff that came with the kids from the orphanage rotates out. Well There was this one guy who came and all of the kids were crazy about him. I'm pretty sure his name was Igor, I think I heard a few kids call him that. But then I'd listen to what they'd call him and it was never the same. What could be some different things they'd call him?

Тигер ? Игорёк ?

Besides Игорёк it could be Игорян, Игоряша, Игорьман.
But all of them sound not very good except Игорёк.

theres a kid named igor here, and everyone calls him Тигер... but i dont think it's a normal nickname. Probly just a joke.

Maybe his nick is Тигр?

yea, that.

Then it has no connection to his name.

He wasn't a kid, so I wasn't sure what they might be calling him. He was maybe mid 30's. He works at the orphanage,so is there something that they might call him other than Igor?

I have no more ideas apart from Игорь/Игорёк.

Гарыныч would be a pretty cool, although unorthodox nickname for "Igor"

I came across the list with deminitive names, you can look up Игорь in it. There are some names I never heard :o
