What would your Russian patronymic MN be?

The title explains it clearly. It’s easy (your father’s name + ovna/evna for women and ovich/evich for men) and less culturally offensive then making up a Native American name. :slight_smile:

Mine would be Cl¡nt0novna

Russian patronymic MNs sound kind of weird without actual Russian names. I just wanted to drop in and say that Putin’s name is:

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Mine would be Stepanovna. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad is [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] but I Russified it. When I took Russian in university, I was the only person in the class who had a dad with a name that easily transliterated for a patronymic. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite weird one from my classmates was Mitchevich :joy: As a (non-native) Russian speaker I do feel like patronymics sound super weird when they’re done with non-Russian names.

I speak a very small amount of Russian from classes in middle school. Some of the best were Garyovna, Emmettovich (making that student [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] Emmettovich), and Jasonovich.

Josevna. I actually think this sounds like a decent name somehow. Maybe I should go to sleep already :joy:

I’d be Julianovna, which is a bit of a mouthful… But my kids would be Maximilianovna/Maximilianovich. Try saying that in a hurry! :sweat_smile:

Russified it’d be Nikolaevna, so that works well.

For my biological father (not the man who raised me), L3slieovna, but because it looks so amusing I’ll include my stepdad’s patronymic: Mannyovna. The y turning from -ie to a ye sound actually makes it relatively Russianified.
