Dmitri / Dmitriy and Nadezhda hands down.
Both are classy and fun to say.

Others:

Aleksei
Arkadiy (some days I find this cool, other days I hate it, so I can't call it favourite per se)
Artemiy (apparently this gets used, but I've never met someone called it...)
Ilya
Mikhail / Misha
Nikolai
Sasha (not crazy on Aleksandr, but I do like Sasha on a boy... and don't dislike it on a girl. I think Sasha reads more and more feminine, even amongst Russians the number of f Sashas I know -possibly- outnumbers m Sashas , but I don't agree it's feminine. I think it looks cool on a boy and lively on a girl)
Taras
Timur
Yakov
Yuriy (mostly because that's one hell of a namesake)

---

Ksenia / Kseniya
Lara (but I really don't like Larisa!!)
Nina
Sabina (never known one though...)
Taisiya
Yelizaveta / Yekaterina (not my faves and not exciting, but a lot prettier than Elizabeth and Catherine imho)
Zinaida (although the only time I knew it - one of my friends' landlady - everyone acted like it was an outdated name, I found it pretty)
Zinoviya (rare, never known it used, but cool)
