Russian names?

[pearshateraqui.livejournal.com]

In the Russian class I'm taking we've all adopted Russian names, similar to our own. So I thought I'd see what people thought.

I am Katya (Ekaterina - Katherine).

Girls:
Svieta (Svetlana - means "light")
Kira (Erm, Kira?)
Lara (Laura)
Nina (Nicole?)
Anya (Anne/Anna)
Margarita (Margaret)
Sonya (?)
Natasha (Natalie)
Lena (Elena)
Vera (means "faith")
Daria
Zoya

Boys:
Boris
Ivan (John)
Dmitri
Pyotr (Peter)
Pavel (Paul)
Sergei

Opinions? I'm not planning on using any, just curious. :)

Yulia is definitely a good one; different to Julia without being too out-there. ;)
