Help[Facts] Two questions on Russian names
1. Is Laura, or any variant of, used in Russia?
2. I have seen the girls name Chapeka (Чапека) listed as a Russian girls name on this website* (link below). It looks to be a legitimate source for names, as it's hosted on a Russian teaching website. Yet I haven't been able to find anyone with this first name, except for a few fictional characters (presumably) written by non-Russians. So is this name actually ever used in Russian?
