[Opinions] Alyosha
I’ve love the character Alyosha Karamazov from the Brothers Karamazov, and am strongly considering using it or a form of it, but I’m not sure if it’s actually usable as a name and I’m finding a hard time finding variants.
We’re not Russian, and I know the Alyosha form isn’t normally a given name, any thoughts? Any middle name suggestions, or suggestions to use as a first name with Alyosha as a middle?
So far my other options are Alexei (sounds very Russian to me, and at that point I’d probably just go with Alyosha), or possibly Alexander, but I don’t know if that makes the connection and I don’t love either. Siblings would be Abraham and Matthias.
