Names for a russian female character?

Writers' Corner

i am looking for first name ideas for a russian female character for my story. she was born around late 1950/early 1960 and the story takes place in 1976 when she would be 16/17.

the only two names on my list so far are avrora (аврора; russian form of aurora) and elizaveta (елизавета; russian form of elizabeth). i am particularly looking for russian forms of english names, but i also don’t mind and like traditional russian names too.

i think the patronymic will either be alexandrovna (александровна; father’s name alexander) or sergeyevna (сергеевна; father’s name sergey) and the last name possibly shcherbakova (щербакова) but i am not a hundred percent sure yet until i settle on a first name.

i am not russian myself but i love russian culture and have learnt a lot about it due to being a figure skater and loving russian figure skaters. any ideas for female names is appreciated or if there is any websites or resources i can use!

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Agneta[/name_f] or [name_f]Agata[/name_f], I’m not sure why. I also second [name_f]Evgenia[/name_f] and [name_f]Irina[/name_f]!
