Help[Opinions] Names for the parents of 2 (unrelated) Russian girls
I have a character who takes care of two unrelated Russian ethnic kids from Mariupol (as well as her little brother). I need names for their fathers because in East Slavic countries your middle name is a patronymic derived from your father's name. I also need birth surnames for them (see here): https://www.behindthename.com/bb/author/5561668
Their current surname is Arylakhova-Kovalchuk.
Their caretaker's name is Anastasiya and her brother is Volodymyr.
They live in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The two girls Mariya "Mara" (6 years old) and Larisa "Lisa" (9 years old).
If you don't know how patronymics work, it's basically your father's name with a suffix.
Examples,
Yuriy = Yuriyivna (Ukrainian) or Yuryevna (Russian)
Pavlo or Pavel = Pavlivna (Ukrainian) or Pavlovna (Russian)
Artem or Artyom = Artemivna (Ukrainian) or Artyomovna (Russian)
