HelpRe: Names (mostly Russian) on my mind
in reply to a message by Ottilie
I was on another site the other day. Parents were looking for a formal name for the nn Apple. I offered them Apollinaria (I'm not crazy about the Apollinariya spelling), but I never heard back from them. I have always found Apollinaria to be exceedingly beautiful and mesmerizing.
Ilya is the male equivalent of Apollinari(y)a for me. I love it even more than Elijah. Ilya Nastase was still playing tennis when I was growing up and that's where I first heard it. So much fun to say out loud. Ilya Constantine is my stock combo for it.
Great list, all around. Note to self: stop ignorning Franka / Franca. :0)

Ilya Constantine is stunning! And Apollinaria "Apple" could be quite endearing. Thank you!
