so do you want a russian name of slavic origin or just any popular russian name?
Vladimir is my fave name btw :)
Mishka. It is a dimunitive of Mikhail which means the Lord is God. Depending on how you view the Universe, that could mean practically anything. However, it was probably given at face value. Mishka/Mikhail I am both very fond of.
I think it is great that you are choosing a russian name. I am very fond of this action. :D
vladimir was my fav even before i posted this msg :)
mikhail too sounds good....i will ask few more people.
thanks both of u for replies :)
ps- what is the diminutive of vladimir by the way? i knew but i cant recall right now.

Well, Sergey is bad enough (for obvious reasons), but Сергей Фокин is even worse. All I can say is poor berk.
Boris all the way!
Boris is not only Russian, I think.Quote:
