Updated Version Of Russian Names

[venturia2010.livejournal.com]

I went to one of my friends on Facebook who is from Russia and she helped me out with the names. She told me that for the most part, I had the names in the right places, however one of them was a male's name that should've been a female's name in the first set and one of the names in the second set was a unisex name, that's why it looked confusing. Spelling wise she told me that there are many different ways to spell some of the names and some are less common than others. She was pleased that I picked names that are considered 'dying out' and are rarely used. Here's the updated lists:

First set
1. Pytor Georgiy_____
2. Veronika Matryona______
3. Aleksey Feodot_________
4. Faina Liouba___________

I had to change the first name of the first girl as Valery is a pet form of a male's name.

Second set
1. Dmitriy Mikhail_____
2. Matryoshka Agrafina______
3. Toma Innokenity__________
4. Rada Yuliana_____________

I was told that Toma is a unisex name. Toma was almost exclusively used as a girl's name until the mid 1960's, then it slowly became a unisex name.

I like Alexei and Dmitri. I also think you may like Matvei or Lavrenti. I have a special fondness for names like these.
