Help[Opinions] Russian Names
I met a bunch of lovely russian girls last year. All of them went by nicknames (which they said is very common in russia, apparently they're fond of nicknames there) and 3 of them were called Anastasia but all went by different nicknames.
Nastja (Anastasia)
Asya (Anastasia)
Lera (Valeriya)
Lena (cant remeber her full name possibly Elena or Helena)
Sasha (Alexandra)
&
Tanya (Tatyana)*
I think russian names and their nicknames are hella cool! Thoughts? Do you know anyone with interesting russian names?
*Edited thanks!

I know an Alexander, called Sasha.
My favorite Russian names are Arkady and Margarita. I like "Arkasha" for Arkady. I don't like any of the Russian nicknames for Margarita. Gosia is lovely but it is Polish and for Małgorzata.
I don't like Vasili or Yuri but I LOVE Vasya and Yura. I would name my kid Vasya in a heartbeat if it were more acceptable as a full name.

I like Margosha (much like Polish Małgosia), Ritusha and Ritusya for Margarita. I don't like Rita.

I dislike Russian names, though the nicknames are pretty creative. Especially Lera!
