I have to disagree there. In Spain it's now that we begin to name children with nicknames, and it's seen as a really weird thing, and yes, a bit ignorant. And I personally hate to hear that american people name their daughters
Lola, or even
Lolita. Here every
Lola, Loli or
Lolita is
Dolores.
I can imagine russian people thinking the same.
But, you can decide if it bothers you or not. If I had a daughter I'd probably name her
Nadia...
