what do you think about two names for a boy that will flow with [name_f]Nikita[/name_f]? [name_m]Victor[/name_m] or [name_m]Teo[/name_m] (I live in [name_f]Italy[/name_f] and I am Slavic). We love a nickname [name_m]Fedya[/name_m]! I like [name_m]Victor[/name_m] as an idea but I am not keen on it how it is perceived in my country and diminutives [name_m]Vitya[/name_m].

I think [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_m]Teo[/name_m] work well with [name_f]Nikita[/name_f]. I think they are also unexpected too [name_f][/name_f]!
[name_f][/name_f]I am not sure you are sold on Victor… alternatively I will offer
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Vlad[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Vincenzo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Vernon[/name_m]
[name_m]Oslo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Demeter[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Karl[/name_m]
Thank you… what do you mean unexpected?)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Demeter[/name_f] is so beautiful but we have a close friend with a son Dimitrije and i feel like i should not be using it. victor seems a bit heavy for nikita but not sure really…
Unexpected just lovely names I don’t hear everyday [name_f][/name_f]. It draws me to them even more [name_f][/name_f]!
I think [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_m]Teo[/name_m] work well [name_f][/name_f]- I especially like the versatility of [name_m]Teo[/name_m]!
I think both [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_m]Teo[/name_m] flow really nicely with [name_f]Nikita[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- they each bring a different feel.
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Victor[/name_m] feels classic and strong, and the connection to Slavic roots is lovely. That said, if the perception/diminutives in your country don’t sit well with you, that hesitation is worth listening to [name_f][/name_f]- you’ll be saying and hearing the name all the time. [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Teo[/name_m] feels softer and more international [name_f][/name_f]- really wearable in [name_f]Italy[/name_f], but also familiar across many languages. With [name_f]Nikita[/name_f], it makes a sweet, modern sibling set. [name_f][/name_f]
And I love that you’re drawn to [name_m]Fedya[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- such a charming nickname! If you want a longer form for it, you could also consider Fyodor/Fedor, or even use [name_m]Fedya[/name_m] on its own if that feels right in your circles.
[name_f][/name_f]Between your two choices, I’d lean [name_m]Teo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- it seems to avoid the concerns you have with [name_m]Victor[/name_m], while still fitting beautifully with [name_f]Nikita[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Fyodor[/name_m] / [name_m]Fedor[/name_m] → directly gives you Fedya; strong, traditional, pairs well with [name_f]Nikita[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Theodore[/name_m] / [name_m]Teodor[/name_m] → classic, international; [name_m]Teo[/name_m] could still be a nickname, but [name_m]Fedya[/name_m] could also work as a playful option.
Well the problem is that [name_m]Theodor[/name_m] is a bit too much compared to Theo/Teo and I am afraid that [name_m]Fyodor[/name_m] is complicated, no? So hard to find a perfect name for a baby)

I like the idea of [name_f]Nikita[/name_f] and [name_m]Victor[/name_m] 
I like [name_m]Teo[/name_m] and [name_f]Nikita[/name_f] more than [name_m]Victor[/name_m] and [name_f]Nikita[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]I’ll suggest these too:
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Mikhail[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Sacha[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Pavel[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Aleksei[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Feliks[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
- [name_m]Vasili[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]
So you thinking should avoid using [name_m]Theo[/name_m] on its own?
Yeah I totally get what you mean about
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]Theodor[name_f][/name_f] is a bit too much compared to Theo/Teo and I am afraid that Fyodor[name_f][/name_f] is complicated
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Theodor[/name_m] can feel heavier than just Theo/Teo, and [name_m]Fyodor[/name_m] can be seen by some as having a [name_f][/name_f] complicated vibe.
[name_f][/name_f]Honestly though, I don’t think you need to avoid Theo/Teo on its own at all. In [name_f]Italy[/name_f] especially, [name_m]Teo[/name_m] works beautifully as a complete name, and internationally it’s also very wearable. Some people might assume it’s short for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but it really stands strong by itself.
[name_f][/name_f]Would it be possible for you to use [name_m]Fedya[/name_m] as the name itself? Although the concern would be the ‘a’ ending reading a little feminine especially in a country like [name_f]Italy[/name_f].
