Name my characters X and Y

Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: Contemporary rom/com

Time Period/Location: 2020-ish, Chicago suburbs

Brief Plot: It’s a love story about high school sweethearts who reconnect after 15 years.

Names of Current Characters: [name_f]Natosha[/name_f] “Tosh” Bogomolov (character X’s twin sister)
[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] “[name_m]Dima[/name_m]” Bogomolov (Tosh/X’s father)
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] Bogomolov (Tosh/X’s mother)
[name_u]Gabby[/name_u] Mayen (Tosh’s best friend)
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] (Tosh’s ex-boyfriend)
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_m]Grange[/name_m] (Y’s ex-girlfriend)

Character X:
Character Description: Late 20’s, construction worker, athletic.

Who named the character: X’s parents, the four of them immigrated from Ukraine when Tosh and X were babies.

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: Any form of [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Misha[/name_u]

I’m looking for a Russian/Soviet name. I want something that would be kind of hard for American children to pronounce, leading the character to be called Bogo (short for his last name Bogomolov). He’s a secondary character.

Character Y:
Character Description: Late 20’s, smart, app developer, MC’s love interest.

Who named the character: Y’s parents, grew up in Chicago.

Already Considered: [name_m]Justin[/name_m], [name_u]Robbie[/name_u]

Thank you!!

Sounds like an interesting story! It must have been a process finding those names! It’s taken me months to find the names for all my characters and I don’t even have a large cast!

Some ideas are:
[name_f]Alyosha[/name_f]
Artyom
Dmytro
[name_m]Evgeni[/name_m]
Faddey (could be the reason why he goes by his last name?)
Feofan
[name_m]Fyodor[/name_m]
[name_m]Kazimir[/name_m]
[name_u]Konstantin[/name_u]
Oleksander
Oleksiy
Yaroslav

Some ideas for Y are:
[name_u]Tyler[/name_u]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_m]Brandon[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathan[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Patrick[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Victor[/name_m]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronald[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]

Good luck on the character name search!
