I’m open to suggestions for Russian and Irish names.
[name_f]My[/name_f] first daughter did not get a Russian or Irish name but dh and I are thinking about using one from our cultures for a future son or daughter so I’m looking for names that would work well in the states. Nothing too plain but nothing that’s too hard to pronounce in English (I’ve dealt with this and it can be frustrating).
I am not a specialist in Irish names but I can help with Russian since I am majoring in Russian Literature(and language).
Girl
[name_f]Alyona[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (one of the plainest names in [name_f]Russia[/name_f] but quite unusual in the US/UK)
[name_f]Angelina[/name_f] (“a”-s pronounced like in car and “g” like in globe)
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Daria[/name_f]
[name_f]Ekaterina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]

[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]

I can only do Irish names, I know nothing about Russian names
These are ones that I think have minimal pronunciation issues (or are familiar), though I may be completely wrong because it seems people in the US are less familiar with Irish names than they are here:
[name_f]Eabha[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f]
[name_f]Fionnuala[/name_f] (this one is pretty much pronounced how it looks whilst still being very Irish - I suppose you could even spell it Finnuala or [name_f]Finola[/name_f])
[name_f]Iseult[/name_f]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Ciara[/name_f]
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Meabh[/name_f]
[name_f]Eimear[/name_f]
Bronagh
[name_f]Clodagh[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Eibhlin[/name_f]
[name_f]Aisling[/name_f]
[name_f]Ailis[/name_f]
[name_f]Siobhan[/name_f]
[name_f]Sinead[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]
[name_f]Catriona[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_f]Cliona[/name_f]
I don’t think you should be too worried about spelling and pronunciation though, I have to constantly correct people (my name’s Irish) but they get it eventually and it’s not a big deal.
Other Irish names I love (which definitely aren’t easy to pronounce!)
[name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_f]Muireann[/name_f]
[name_u]Ailbhe[/name_u]
[name_u]Aoibheann[/name_u]
Only in compiling this list did I realise just how many Russian friends I have. Never thought that would come in so useful!

Pretty much everything I can think of has already been suggested, but just wanted to chime in and say that most Russian nicknames export well. Think [name_f]Anya[/name_f], [name_f]Katya[/name_f], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_m]Grisha[/name_m]. I know both a [name_f]Masha[/name_f] and a [name_f]Dasha[/name_f] who have grown up here in the States without too many name problems.
