Мою маму зовут Марина

Nastya_Love, you pretty much put every Russian boy's name in there!

My favorite Russian name of all time has gotta be Elena (w/ Russian pronunciation). It just sounds the coolest!

Elizaveta(My cousins name)

I have to agree with you Nastya, that's one of my favourites. Was considering changing my name to it at one point (I cannot convey how much I hate my name. And to think my parents passed Kataryn over for the mere, common and nasty, Louise. Icky!!

Anyway, how is it spelt in Cyrillic? It's the i I can't figure out. Is it Eлизавета (first time I got cyrillic to work, whooooooooooooooo!)? Doesn't look right, but I know nothing.

Also, Dounetchka (dim. of Eudoxia I think) has been a great love of mine since reading Crime and Punishment (in English). No idea how that would be spelt though!

Men- Kirill

Women- Natalya

I love many names
Example:
Lina, Vika, Dolly nd other

i love the name Olesya (AH_LYAY-SYAH)
i dont know why. i love all russian names, especially the diminuative of Tatiana: Tatiasha.
for boys i like Roman Aleksandr.

My favorites are:

Men -- Andrei (though I have a friend who writes me from Russia/Ukraine border, and his name is always spelled Andrey???)

Women -- Nikita

Also, I had a great-grandfather who lived on the Black Sea; his name was always spelled Jakob. I've always been confused by that, because Jakob is a German spelling...and only some of my family from that area was German.

Can anyone help me with my G. Grandfather's name?

Thank you!!

i like Nikolai...because my name is Nicholas!!! lol.

У меня подруга из Польши. Её брата зовут "Jakub", а его кличка "Kuba".

Ещё у неё дядя которого зовут "Piotr". Это польская версия имени Петр?

Nikita is man's name actually. You'll never meet a woman with such name in Russia.

Not sure what kind of help you meant here, but if Jacob is a German spelling then the Russian transliteration is Якоб. The closest to it Russian name is Яков, so if he is originally from Russia that could be his name.

I like Sasha for girls and Maxim & Andrei for guys.

I thought of another one for girls: Ульяна

Nastya, for one of your favorite girl names you wrote this: Nadezhia

I believe it is spelled Nadezhda. Right? Unless this is a name I've never seen before

To astarz41: I like the name sasha too

Where the hell are y'all coming from? Here in AMERICA we like the name Абдул-Рахим for boys and Джамила for girls.
