If you'd marry someone... Russian

General Name Discussion

Here’s another version of “If you’d marry someone…” This time it’s if you’d happen to marry a Russian person and you’d want to honour their heritage through the names you choose for your kids, how would you name them? You can have as many kids with as many mn and fn as you like but they have to be Russian (a general Slavic origin counts too). Here are mine:

Boy: [name_u]Kostya[/name_u] [name_m]Teodor[/name_m]
Second Boy: Dimitri Kiril
Girl: [name_f]Nadezhda[/name_f] Desislava
Second Girl: [name_f]Ekaterina[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasiya[/name_f]

Here’s another version of “If you’d marry someone…” This time it’s if you’d happen to marry a Greek person and you’d want to honour their heritage through the names you choose for your kids, how would you name them? You can have as many kids with as many mn and fn as you like but they have to be Greek (you can also use names with Greek origin that have been altered in another language). Here are mine:

Boy: [name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
Girl: [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
Second Girl: [name_f]Natasa[/name_f] [name_f]Persephonie[/name_f]
