Everyone’s FN’s - Russian Names for Boys | Nameberry Russian Girl Names | Nameberry and they each have nicknames.
The family is made up of Russian immigrant parents, so they don’t have traditional MN’s like we do in English. They have patronymic names, after their fathers’ FN’s (they end in -ovich/ovna if the father’s name ends in a consonant, -yevich/yevna for -y endings, and -ich/ichna for vowel endings. Note: Some names like [name_m]Pavel[/name_m] and [name_m]Lev[/name_m] are atypical. [name_m]Pavel[/name_m] becomes Pavlovich/Pavlovna and [name_m]Lev[/name_m] becomes L’vovich/L’vovna).
