Help[Facts] Re: Two questions on Russian names
in reply to a message by Inspector Javert
As a Russian I can assure you that neither Chapeka nor Laura are used in our country. The first name is particularly strange, I never heard of it before. Nevertheless, I can suppose that maybe one Russian woman in a ten thousands is named Laura because I knew some people named much more oddly.
About your second question, mainly all of these names are only the short forms. Lina is very, very rarely used as a full name, but, anyway, for Russians it is kind of odd, because they used to use that name as the short form of Angelina. However, you can search for information about the Ukranian poet Lina Kostenko.
