Very few. I'm older than dirt with a lot of years in various US ethnic neighborhoods, and I've met exactly ONE Irina (in Cleveland). Don't remember her ethnicity, but her parents spoke little English and had emigrated from someplace the other side of "Wienna" where surname vowels are scarce. She hated being called "Irina" and went by "Reenie", which to me is a much uglier name. Sounds like a chronic dialysis patient...
