I am getting a new sibling soon, and my family and I are looking for name suggestions. We do not know if it will be a boy or girl, so we are looking for ideas of both. We want him/her to have at least one Russian name, but if the first name is Russian, we want an [name_f]English[/name_f] translation or nickname. [name_f]My[/name_f] siblings names are [name_f]Katerina[/name_f] “[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]”, [name_f]Veronika[/name_f] “[name_f]Vera[/name_f]” and Leontiy “[name_m]Leo[/name_m]”. [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Elizaveta[/name_f] “[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]”. Thank You!
Anastasia feels like a great shout for a girl! Nicknamed [name_f]Ana[/name_f] or [name_f]Sia[/name_f], perhaps?
Aleksandra “[name_u]Sasha[/name_u]” would be lovely too.
Maybe also…
Polina “[name_f]Polly[/name_f]”
[name_f]Yelena[/name_f] “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”

Hi there.
Your family’s naming style is so fun!
I’m not sure that I have a ton of new ideas, but I just had to comment on what a cool theme you’ve got going.
How about…
Boys-
Aleksander/Alex/Dex
Maksim/Max/Mak
Nikolai/Niko
Yakov/Kovi-did COVID ruin this? Maybe…it’s so cute.
I really can’t think of any girls. Good luck.
