I'd probably use Russian first names and family names from my side of the family.

I think I might, I love a lot of Russian names (I'm not very sure that all of the ones I like are Russian though).

---

I love Vladimir too.

---

I also love: Rostislav, Jaromir (actually Czech) , Stanislav and Roman
for girls I like: Nonna and Yelena

---

Nikolai is very nice too and Eva Sofiya is lovely (I'm not a fan of Viktoriya though)

I was married to a part Russian.
Nikolai has been on my list since I was 14 as has Anastasia. I am part Romanian,so I have always had Russian / Eastern European names in mind only for my future children.

I'm Russian but I would not give my kids Russian names. If the kid is not going to live in Russia, I just don't see the point of having the child have to spell out his/her name and constantly correct people who cannot pronounce it. I also think that a lot of Russian spellings just look plain stupid and/or trendy in English (like they extra y in names like Maria, Sofia, etc). There are, however, plenty of names that are used in both English and Russian and sound equally attractive in both languages, I'd aim for one of those.

Yes I would name my kids Russian names, I love Russian names! Even if I don't marry a Russian I might still do it.

Vladimir reminds me of Dracula...

---

Though I believe his name was just Vlad. I heard he's like almost a national hero in Romania though so ::shrugs:: if you're willing to fight off comparisons to the Impaler and Lenin.

---

It does roll off the tongue quite nicely however... Vladimir. I like the sound of it too.

---

Eva Sofiya is pretty but I prefer the spelling Sofia.

---

I don't like the name Nikolai at all... I can't explain why, though. It just makes me feel weird : how odd lol

Vladimir doesn't bring Lenin to mind at all for me. I think of two things: first, of a poem about names that I know--and that no one else seems to have heard of. Secondly, I think of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula. It's not something I'd use, but it'd be cool for someone else's kid. I think Dragomir would be nice.

If I had to use Russian names to name my children, I wouldn't mind too terribly. However, since I think naming should be a partnership sort of thing, they wouldn't have fully Russian names. After all, I'm not one whit Russian, and I would want their names to reflect on my influences as well as their father's!

---

So if my husband was Russian and we had to compromise, two of our children's names might look somewhat like this:

---

Daughter: Thursday Agafya
Son: Matvei Horatio

If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.

I wish I would have married a hot Russian man :)

I like Russian names. (expessially when Russians say them) Russian names are very cute. (It's better to have a Russian name that no one can pronounce than a everyday name.) I like the sound of Vldmir , too.
