Your sons may not like girl's names. Are you sure about them names? Laughing


Of course not silly, these are for girls names. I do like the name Mikhail, Yuri or Ilya for sons.

I will do Russian names as middle names.

Zahar is a good name. Very strong, I like it.
it's Zachary in English.

Zachar is cool Laughing but Kondrat is better Wink Twisted Evil


OK, "Kondrat" is bad!!! Laughing Laughing I agree.

I agree, if I had kids, I would not want them having any "run of the mill" names. My name isnt unique, but I only ever went to school with one other girl who had my name and she was way younger than I was, so I think its nice to have a different sort of name that hasnt been overused.

As Fire_G said, no "run of the mill" names. I like abundance. I think Katerina is a strong, lovely name for a girl. Most women in the US have the name Brook, Lisa, Amber, Tammy (Tamara). I think those names are over done. My friend from Germany is named Katja. I think the name Katja is more common in Germany than Russia. Correct me if I am wrong. I have always like that name, but Katerina is my favorite.

Is it spelled Katarina or Katerina? I don't know if it is spelled correctly or both ways.

It's Ekaterina. But you can spell it anyway you want. It sounds the same.

Amber and Brook sound like girls from the west coast of the US.
I think I watched too much of 90210 when it was on and I wasn't a regular viewer either!

My boyfriend told me Yuri means "peasant" in Russian.
Is Yuri a common name in Russia like John seems to be in a lot of English speaking countries?

Ilya, does that name have a meaning too?

The spelling can be either variation, depending on the person. I have a good friend named 'Katarina', although she's slovak and not russian. She also goes by 'Katka' for short.

Amber is nice...but not big on Brook. Kiersten, Kimberly, and Katherine...I think are nice names. I also like Christina, Shannon, Michelle, ahhh there are a lot of good names out there..including Josephine, Daria, Lauren, & Cheryl
