Thread: my name?

does any one know would there be a russian translation for the name 'Kathleen?' this is what I think it might be: Кэтлин

Кэтлин, всё правильно.

Кафлин, mefinks.

Krist is kind of like the russian name Kristovi I think that s the correct way to spell.

No, I don't know, but I know Mary, you'll have to introduce us sometime.

Anyway
Julia in Russian is Юлия so Julian is probably Юлиян. Tanya is a Russian name, short for Tat'yana
Татьяна - Таня

It's Юлиан but I think this name is rather rare in Russia.

I believe it isn't so in other Slavic-speaking countries? I know a Czech called Julian.

The most famous russian Julian is Юлиан Семенов, the author of "Семнадцать мгновений весны":

Штирлиц (the main character of "Семнадцать мгновений весны") is one of the most popular heroes of russian anecdotes.

You have a little false friend there, Denis. Prefer "joke" to "anecdote".
Shtirlitz stories are *fictional* and *funny* (or intended to be). Joke is better than anecdote there.
